Simi - Naked Wire

The Nigerian music Queen returned with a brand new hit ‘Naked Wire’. The P. Priime. produced record is her second release of 2022. The simple guitar & percussion melodies amplified by her gorgeous voice speak of a talent that gets better by the day.  The typical but excellent production provides the effect of Simi singing in an empty room with the mild echoing of words that rhyme with "wire," comparable to voice-layering. Back-up singers accentuate the emotional effects of the lyrics. 

Naked Wire is the first single off Simi's forthcoming studio album TBH (To Be Honest). 

Mavin - Overdose (feat Crayon, Ayra Starr, Ladipoe, Magixx, Boy Spyce)

Don Jazzy, the music mogul behind Mavin Records engineered this tune currently rocking Nigeria. He recently took to Twitter to celebrate its success. Jazzy praised the Mavin crew, the fans, and Wizkid, who co-signed the song. Mavin acts Crayon, Arya Star, Ladipoe, Boy Spyce and Magixx delivered seamlessly on the record which is expected to be the first single off a Mavin all-star album coming later this year.

Omah Lay – Woman

This big tune is Omah Lay’s third release for the year and it is superbly fine. It is the first song in his soon to be released debut studio album ‘Woman’. 

"Woman is a simple love record where Omah Lay with his witty lyrics and unique style of songwriting reiterates that he would do anything for his woman. An easy sing alone tune and a classic lover's anthem." 

Bella Shmurda - Fvck Off 

Bella Shmurda went all out with ‘Fvck Off’ marking his third release of the year. It is a hippy Afrobeat tune daringly incredible to listen to. Produced by Larry Lanes and Niphkeys. Bella, who has made it his mission, to tell the truth, no matter the consequences is still on his lane. 

Victony – Kolomental

Off Victony’s new EP ‘Outlaw’ is this throbbing record. The polyrhythmic arrangement is elevated to a new level in this composition which features extended voice-layering as an additional rhythmic element. Kolomental was produced by Blaise Beatz. 

T.I Blaze - Kilo (feat Skiibii)

T.I. BLAZE teams up with Skiibii on ‘Kilo’.  Following the release of T.I. BLAZE's extended play (EP), "The Fresh Prince Of Lagos," ‘Kilo’ is the rapper's first single off the project.
This relatable hit was produced by certified hitmaker Niphkeys.
