Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm
Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm
The weekend just got a serious upgrade. Nigerian music heavyweights are flooding the airwaves with new heat, and your playlist is about to thank you. From Fave’s most collaborative project to date, to a legendary Niger Delta reunion, plus Mr Eazi’s dancehall experiment with a Jamaican icon—this is the soundtrack your weekend has been waiting for.
Fave just dropped her third EP, and this one hits differently. RnBling arrives as a six-track showcase where the rising singer opens her creative space to collaborators for the first time on an EP. Chike slides through on “Miss You” while Yemi Alade brings her energy to “Paparazzi”—both features blend seamlessly into Fave’s signature introspective R&B style. After 2022’s Riddim 5 and 2024’s Dutty Love, this new offering showcases tight production work from Dunnie, Deeyasso, and Damie, creating a cohesive listening experience that demands to be played front to back.
Victony proves once again why he’s earned his reputation as one of Afrobeats’ most reliable voices. His new single “Slick” does exactly what the title promises—it glides. Released through Encore Recordings with production from Ozedikus and Dera The Boy, the track strips things back to reveal Victony’s vocals floating over understated production, lush harmonies, and dreamy synths. There’s no overthinking here, just pure, confident musicality that feels natural and unforced.
When two Niger Delta pioneers link up, you know something special is about to happen. Timaya and Duncan Mighty deliver exactly that on “Kontrol,” blending Afrobeats, Afro-dancehall, and highlife into a track that manages to sound both timeless and fresh. Produced by Spotless, this marks Timaya’s first official drop of the year. The chemistry between these two veterans is undeniable, and they’ve crafted a pure dancefloor weapon that bridges generations of Nigerian sound.
The emPawa Africa founder continues his sonic exploration in bold fashion. “Lambo” finds Mr Eazi diving deep into authentic dancehall territory alongside producer Dre Skull and the legendary Vybz Kartel. This isn’t just a feature—it’s a full cultural exchange where two artists from different worlds find common ground. The result is a track that respects dancehall’s roots while showcasing Mr Eazi’s continued willingness to push beyond conventional boundaries.
