Noisey Boi Drops New Single Fala Alibonga Bad Featuring Mambah First Release Off His Upcoming Mixtape ‘Street To Soul’

Kenyan producer Noisey Boi is officially back after his rebrand with, Fala Alibonga Bad, his majestic new single featuring rapper Mambah and the track is out now across all platforms. This release marks the first official drop from Noisey Boi’s debut producer mixtape, Street To Soul, a project that promises to bridge the raw intensity of the streets with the emotional depth of soul music.

Mambah takes listeners through a vivid narrative of a typical day in his neighborhood, one where respect is demanded, and street dynamics shift in real time. His delivery is bold and unapologetic, detailing how he “schooled” someone who approached him disrespectfully, and exploring the tension, toughness, and code that governs life in such environments.

It changed the way I write,” says Mambah. “This track opened up a new approach for me — the motivation wasn’t just to rap, but to create something that elevates Kenyan hip-hop as both an artist and a listener.”

Behind the boards, Noisey Boi crafts a beat that’s heavy with intention — punchy drums, eerie melodies, and tension-filled transitions that mirror the chaos and calm of the street experience. For Noisey Boi, selecting Mambah was deliberate.

“I knew from the start this one was his,” says Noisey Boi. “His grit and raw energy brought the beat to life. Mambah always comes through when it matters most — and this is just the beginning. We’ve got more on the way.”

Fala Alibonga Bad’ is the second track off Noisey Boi’s upcoming producer mixtape ‘Street to Soul’ — a project rooted in African identity and urban truth, bridging the energy of the streets with the emotion of the soul.

About ‘Street To Soul’

“Street to Soul” (The Duality Journey) is more than a mixtape, it’s a layered narrative of self-image vs. self-awareness, presented through beats and bars. This Mixtape is a deliberate and emotional narrative that travels through the layers of identity, pride, struggle, and self-awareness. The mixtape opens with high-octane bravado and street energy, navigating through the raw hustle and resistance of everyday life, and slowly evolves into moments of deep reflection and emotional clarity. It mirrors a personal and collective truth, one where ego gives way to empathy, and noise transforms into nuance.

Curated, produced, mixed and mastered entirely by Noisey Boi, each track features a diverse roster of Kenyan rappers and lyricists, each bringing their own truths to the table, while Noisey Boi provides the pulse and soul behind their stories. From hard-hitting trap anthems to introspective soundscapes, the project is a sonic arc for both artists and listeners, capturing the spirit of hip-hop while rooting it in African consciousness.

Street to Soul is about the in-between. The person we show the world vs. who we meet when it’s silent. I wanted to craft a project that speaks to both.”

TELMAN Sets a New Standard with “MOOV DIFFERENT” – A Sonically Bold and Spiritually Charged Release

In an industry often crowded with noise, TELMAN returns to cut through the static with precision. His new single, “MOOV DIFFERENT,” released today under RADARMusic, is more than just another addition to his discography—it’s a sonic manifesto of personal evolution.

Following the viral success of “Awesome God”—a gospel-drill anthem that earned widespread recognition across streaming platforms—TELMAN now embraces a more grounded yet elevated identity: The RADARMan. As the official face of RADARCharts, TELMAN carries not only the weight of his sound but the voice of a generation navigating growth with grace and grit.

A Sonic Journey with Purpose

From the moment the beat drops, “MOOV DIFFERENT” sets a tone of smooth confidence. Produced with Afro-fusion richness and the bounce of UK Drill, the track is a mid-tempo stunner layered with meaning. TELMAN weaves sharp bars with melodic restraint, striking a balance between spiritual depth and street perspective.

His delivery is effortless—never forced, never chasing clout. Instead, TELMAN leans into his truth, his tempo mirroring the unhurried pace of someone who knows where they’re going.

Lyrical Themes: Power in the Quiet

At the heart of “MOOV DIFFERENT” is a message that resonates across creative communities: move in silence, let results speak, and remain anchored in self-worth. TELMAN’s pen is direct yet poetic, reflecting a young artist who has matured from ambition-driven urgency to values-led intention.

He doesn’t brag. He affirms. And in doing so, he provides a new language for artists, hustlers, and dreamers building legacies away from the spotlight.

Impact and Direction

TELMAN’s track record speaks volumes—6M+ streams, thousands of playlist placements, and a footprint that spans Lagos to London, Nairobi to New York. With each release, his influence deepens. But “MOOV DIFFERENT” stands out as the project that redefines not just his sound, but his direction.

Under the strategic leadership of Royal Empire Management and the cultural engine of RADARCharts, TELMAN is no longer just participating in the music conversation—he’s leading one.

Now Streaming — A New Chapter Begins

Welcome to the RADARMan era. Movement has never sounded this intentional.

VUGA KVNGZ UNVEILS SULTRY R&B SINGLE ‘COME THROUGH’ — A FRESH CHAPTER IN HIS GLOBAL SOUND

In a smooth shift from his signature Afro-fusion and Hip-Hop foundation, Nigerian-born, Istanbul-based artist Vuga Kvngz steps into new sonic territory with his latest release — Come Through, a sensual and melodic R&B track that captures vulnerability, late-night desire, and musical maturity.

This release is more than just a song — it’s a statement of evolution. Vuga Kvngz, born Chiedozie Eze Walter, has continuously defied expectations with his genre-blending artistry. Known for fusing influences from Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, Reggae, and Alternative sounds under his self-styled genre, Vuga Vibes, the artist now introduces a new layer of depth and soul to his catalog.

A NEW SOUND, SAME SPIRIT

Come Through is stripped-back yet emotionally rich — showcasing Vuga’s growth not only as a vocalist but also as a storyteller. The song’s moody production and tender lyrics invite the listener into a world of longing and intimacy. It’s a sonic invitation, one that highlights a softer, more reflective side of the artist.

Yet, even within this new R&B direction, Vuga’s creative DNA is ever-present. His ability to draw from lived experience, to inject fiction from his poetry roots, and to infuse global influences — from Burnaboy and Prettyboy DO, to Drake and Jay Z — is what makes his music distinct and memorable.

FROM IMO TO ISTANBUL: THE WORLD BOY JOURNEY

Originally from Imo State, Nigeria, Vuga’s musical journey began after completing a degree in Political Science. After a few years in Nigeria’s music scene, he relocated to Istanbul, Turkey, where he pursued his Master’s degree and reignited his passion for music.

Since then, he’s carved a niche for himself in the Turkish scene, pushing African soundscapes into global spaces with tracks like Take Over — a powerful anthem about ambition and resilience.

Through his co-founded label World Boyz Entertainment, Vuga Kvngz has created more than music — he’s building a movement. From curating Worldly Activities, a concert series that amplifies African and global voices in Istanbul, to designing fashion and merch through World Boyz Collective, Vuga is shaping culture both in sound and style.

VUGA VIBES REIMAGINED

With Come Through, Vuga invites fans into an emotionally honest experience. It’s a love letter written with smooth vocals and textured R&B production — one that shows his readiness to explore deeper, more intimate territories without losing his roots.

The single is a warm-up to what’s next — possibly another full project or an expanded chapter of Vuga Vibes.

Bobbo Esko Unleashes FEAR WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW — A Fearless Hip-Hop Album of Reflection, Power, and Purpose

Today marks the official arrival of FEAR WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW, the highly anticipated album from Nigerian rapper and lyrical force Bobbo Esko. Produced entirely by his longtime collaborator Icebeatzz, the project is now available on all digital streaming platforms and is already drawing attention for its bold storytelling, layered production, and fearless fusion of hip-hop and Afro-influenced soundscapes.

A Statement Album with a Purpose

From the opening bars of “FWYDK (Intro)” to the closing moments of “FWYTA (Outro),” Bobbo Esko makes it clear: this album is more than music — it’s a mirror, a confession, and a manifesto.

Speaking on the release, Bobbo shared:

“This project is my truth. It’s about acknowledging the fears we carry, the things we avoid, and the power that comes when we face them head-on. Every verse, every beat, is me choosing courage over comfort.”

The album features stellar guest performances from Marc Swagz, Miickey Metro, Stakexx, and Fozter, each lending their unique voice to the tape’s powerful themes of black identity, struggle, accountability, and ambition.

A Sound That Stands Out

Blending classic rap cadence with Afro-hop, melodic hooks, and conscious lyricism, Bobbo’s voice cuts through like an artist who knows who he is and where he’s going. Icebeatzz’s diverse sonic palette ties the project together, offering hard-hitting 808s, soulful textures, and rhythmic bounce — a sound that feels both global and rooted in African expression.

Whether you’re drawn to the raw honesty of “MY FAULT” or the confident swagger of “BIG BAG,” the album proves Bobbo’s versatility as both a lyricist and creative visionary.

A Milestone for Bobbo Esko

With previous projects like No Pressure and breakout singles like Malaga and Oyego, Bobbo Esko has already made waves in Nigeria’s independent rap scene. But FEAR WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW feels different — more mature, more focused, more unapologetically him.

Born Chukwuebuka ThankGod in Enugu State and trained as a Doctor of Physiotherapy, Bobbo’s dual life as a health professional and rapper only adds depth to his perspective. He’s walked through academia, industry pressure, and personal reinvention — and now, he walks into this moment fully aware of his power.

Jason Nkanga Taps Into Limitless Expression on New Track “Pi”

Today, Nigerian rapper and lyrical architect Jason Nkanga releases “Pi,” his latest addition to a catalog defined by intelligence, energy, and lyrical sharpness. The track is a bold statement—complex, calculated, and creatively unbounded. Like the mathematical constant it’s named after, “Pi” challenges convention and stretches beyond limitations.

Jason has never been one to follow trends. With “Pi,” he presents not just a song, but a concept.

THE SOUND OF “PI”

“Pi” delivers sharp lyricism wrapped in a haunting, minimalist beat. Jason moves with intention, weaving through themes of ambition, knowledge, and personal philosophy. His flow mirrors the unpredictable yet calculated rhythm of the number itself—relentless, intelligent, and purposeful. The production leaves room for every word to land with force.

This isn’t casual listening. It’s crafted for those who listen to understand.

JASON NKANGA: INDEPENDENT BUT UNDENIABLE

Since his debut with Go Dumb in 2014, Jason Nkanga has remained a standout voice in African hip-hop. His acclaimed projects The Art of Rap and Redemption earned him respect as a thoughtful lyricist with global vision. Collaborations with names like PsychoYP, Blaqbonez, Mick Jenkins, and theMIND, alongside features in BBC, Hunger Magazine, and Okay Africa, have positioned him as a cultural voice in his own right.

With “Pi,” Jason pushes further—continuing to define his sound and shape his legacy without compromise.

ARTIST STATEMENT ON “PI”

Jason describes his creative process with clarity and focus:

“It started like every song does—I cut off distractions, zoned in on the beats, and waited for the one that stuck. ‘Pi’ hit me because the concept felt limitless. Once I started writing, it flowed endlessly. I even researched some bars to make sure they were airtight—because when I rap, every word has to mean something.”

He adds, “If my team likes it, that’s a bonus. But even if they don’t, if I feel strongly about a track, it drops. That’s the kind of artist I am—I take risks because the music deserves that.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

“Pi” represents more than just lyrical ability—it’s about longevity, vision, and impact. In a space often ruled by trends and algorithms, Jason continues to build a legacy rooted in quality, authenticity, and craft.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to his sound, this is the perfect moment to step into his world.

Slim Dumpie Embraces True-self In His Sophomre EP Dimakatso

This project means a lot, not just to Slim, but to all of us who’ve watched him carve his own lane with raw honesty, energy, and a sound that’s both street-rooted and emotionally aware.

Dimakatso isn’t just a collection of tracks — it’s a body of work that captures Slim’s duality: his fight, his spirit, his softness, and his steel. Each track tells a story from his world — whether it’s about love, survival, identity, or just that hunger to be heard. And this time, it feels more refined, more vulnerable, more intentional.

The name Dimakatso carries a profound double entendre, it is deeply personal to the artist because it was the name of his late sister but futhermoore meaning “suprises” in Setswana it is a reflection of the unexpected and tranformative qay the Slim’s life unfolded and despite the ordeal he never doubted his ability in making music

With this project being his second EP, Slim Dumpie wanted to make this moment unique. He created this project in between the production of his upcoming album – August 3. The selected songs that have made up the project are intentionally crafted for listeners to enjoy and connect with; not particularly diving into heavy subject matter. Instead, the focus of this EP is Slim Dumpie’s artistic range and creative versatility. This is in contrast to his last project – August 2, whereby he was grappling with depression, however, ‘Dimakatso’ is made with zero influence of depression but one hundred percent self-confidence – embracing his true self, for which he feels genuinely loved for.

ENJOY!

Catholic Boys Album by Latino Perrico Is a Holy Declaration, Not a Safe Bet

There’s music for the charts—and then there’s music that punches through your chest. Catholic Boys is the latter.

Nigerian artist, rapper and all round creative Latino Perrico steps to the mic like a man on a mission with scriptures in his DNA, pain in his cadence, and a pen baptized by fire. This isn’t gospel rap. This isn’t holy hip hop. This is doctrine delivered through boom-bap and conviction. He’s not rapping for applause. He’s speaking from the pulpit.

This is for the ones baptized in struggle, confirmed by bars, and crowned by purpose, I didn’t come to blend in. I came to remind you what rap with a backbone sounds like.

Latino Perrico
Processed with VSCO with hb2 preset

Strictly for the True Believers

Catholic Boys is Latino Perrico’s most stripped-down and fully realized effort to date, a narrative-rich body of work that walks the line between liturgy and life. No smoke. No mirrors, No A&Rs steering the sound, just real bars, raw faith, and storytelling that hits like a confession booth with surround sound.

From the high-stakes opener Christ the King to the militant Crusade, Perrico builds a world where verses are sacred and the streets still echo with scripture, and then there’s the heat check: Bank of Faith (Remix) featuring African hip-hop royalty Modenine, a surgical trade of bars that bridges eras and continents with lyrical firepower. It’s not a feature. It’s a **co-sermon.**

This Is Legacy Work, Not Playlist Filler

The production reads like a stained-glass window shattered by 808s: solemn melodies, bass lines dragging like a censer through cathedral halls, and subtle echoes of Nigerian soil beneath every word.

You hear the sermons. You hear the sacrifice. You hear Perrico owning his space with purpose and clarity.

“This one’s for those who still believe music should mean something,” he says. “*Every line’s lived. Every cut’s intentional.”

Mannie Tseayo Blends Her Heritage With Hip-Hop in New Single “The Shine”

The Shine is Mannie Tseayo’s second offering of the year and what seems like a stellar output from the young Nigerian star. The shine starts with a chant/mantra that puts you in an upbeat mood over traditional wind instruments that pay homage to her TIV origins, while the smooth percussions linger with a rugged hip-hop core.

Mannie Tseayo weaves crafty lyricism in her verses as she sings, “And if it’s gon mean something to me, I’ve got lots of places to be.” Not only do the lyrics, but the sonics speak highly of “The Shine” as a heavy-hitting record, with production from Scxrface, who does a stellar piece. The shine encapsulates Mannie Tseayo’s trajectory and mass appeal in her creativity.

Mannie’s performance on “The Shine” is a confident leap forward, showcasing her artistry as a genre-fusing creator. Her sharp delivery rides the beat with purpose, making it clear that her sound is here to stay. Following her previous release earlier this year, “The Shine” cements Mannie Tseayo’s rising status and creative momentum as one of the most exciting emerging artists from Nigeria to watch.
