Dreycee – Time
Finally, the talented Afro-fusion singer-songwriter released her debut single, Time. This melodic track is an official introduction to her voice and melodies, a very promising one for the music industry. Her introductory track, Time, contains themes of emotional boundaries and the importance of self-preservation, themes that her impressive songwriting explored while also expressing herself.
Sarkodie feat Kweku Smoke – Violence
As always, one of the hardest rappers from Ghana and Africa came through with an intense tune on one of our favorite drops this week, titled Violence. His lyrical delivery sounds like a voice alongside a Kweku Smoke melodie chorus that sounds addictive.
Shine TTW – TIME
This is another smooth tune from the talented Shine TTW. He comes through with his melodies and heartfelt lyrics on TIME as he sings about his lover, expressing his emotions. One addictive thing about this track is the chanting chorus in his native language, complementing his voice and the production.
Dai Verse – Social Misconduct
Off Dia Verse’s latest project, WARRIOR’S CHILD comes the track of Social Misconduct. This track captures his feelings on life’s journey and the struggles in between, reminiscing about the hardships and heartbreaks in society. This track reflects a state of mind and encounters many listeners can relate to. Social Misconduct stands as a standout track from WARRIOR’S CHILD.
FirstKlas feat Lliya Entertainment Music, Zlatan & Jeriq – Gen-Z Arewazobia
Firstklas, the leader pushing the sound of the north around Nigeria and beyond, just came through with a new version of the Gen-Z music collection with Gen-Z Arewazobia featuring superstar Igbo rapper Jeriq and Yoruba music star Zlatan. The intention is to bring unity with music as the medium while infusing each tribe’s culture in the music, visuals, and production.
oSHAMO – Superfuji
The viral sensational music of the track Why Are You Lying is back with a new tune uniquely different from the introductory song many got to know him through. He titles this one Superfuji, as the title has “fuji” in it. It’s Fuji but in a new direction, a super one, a Gen Z-infused Fuji with a new voice and sonic production. The chorus is super catchy, and I wish to sing that to someone someday.
