NATIVE Records Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu popularly known as Odumodublvck has been the biggest name in the Nigerian Hip Hop and Alté scene in 2023. The rapper who was barely known some 18 months back has stuck to his grind until his unique sound which blends Afrobeats, with Drill and Grime music had caught on to mainstream ears. The rapper’s takeover has recently been solidified by the steady growth of his streams on various platforms.

Ekelebe Stunner just recently surpassed the one million monthly listeners mark on Spotify, a testament to the growth in his fan base.

The ‘Declan Rice‘ rapper has already broken several records on Apple Music and is currently occupying four spots on the platform’s top 5. See the article below.

No Pressure

Nigerian rapper and songwriter Dremo has just announced he will be releasing his new “No Pressure” EP anytime from now.

The lead single “Pesin” which is set to drop on 9-06-2023, will feature singer Jerry Shaffer and popular Nigerian street DJ YK Mule.

While we do not have much information on what to expect, we believe going by his usual formula, the project will feature both afrobeat sounds and his forte hip-hop. “No Pressure” is also expected to feature 5 songs, with another collaboration with Nigerian singer 1Da Banton.

Dremo has been off the radar for quite some time he has been taking his time to record songs he said were straight from his heart, so we believe the project is one to look forward to.

Get Ready For Cassper Nyovest #Solomon Dropping In July

The Don Billiato, Cassper Nyovest has been sitting in the studio hard at work on his forthcoming album and we’re about to get a taste of what he’s been cooking.

This past month, we retraced Cassper’s steps – from his philanthropic work in Mahikeng to his collaborations with MagleraDoeBoy and Tweezy. He mentioned that he would drop a track to build anticipation for his album and it appears Solomon is the very same song.

In a short visual snippet, the Mmabatho rapper strolls outside his mansion, glass in hand, draped in Root Of Fame as his new song plays in the background. Opulence personified, Cassper raps about his riches while also poking fun at the competition.

Solomon is set for release on July 28th, we’ll keep you posted.

K.O Officially Drops #ROCKABYE Featuring Toss

After much anticipation, we finally get to hear from K.O and Toss as they officially drop their track, ROCKABYE.

You may remember not so long ago, many rappers were under scrutiny for jumping onto the Amapiano wave as it caught fire and overseas recognition. Now we see an artist known to represent the Amapiano genre, Toss, hop on a Hip Hop song and rip it apart. How the turntables?

Interesting times but at the end of the day, an artist makes art and expresses themselves in ways they see fit, whether others approve or not.

ROCKABYE is very lively as it plays on the idea of a lullaby, with K.O cleverly driving the phrase that he can “do this in his sleep.”

Both rappers deliver a stellar performance, and although already expected from the Skhanda God, it came as a surprise to listeners who were blown away by Toss’ impressive delivery.

Listen to the track below:

Stino Le Thwenny Revisit Old Skool Kwaito In #Shiselwa

Stino Le Thwenny have released a new banger and I’m afraid there’s just no stopping them. 

This past month, the duo dropped their MagleraDoeBoy-assisted song, You Want Some More where the music video inevitably drew in over 120 thousand YouTube views.

Today, they have a new song titled Shiselwa that revisits the early days of Kwaito, accompanied by a music video. Produced by PROFOUND (Prxfnd), the song is reminiscent of the Yizo Yizo theme songs, while the visual follows a tale of what happens when you cross the wrong guys.

Flvme Releases THE LOST PACK: Vol. 1

Following an unfortunate incident that lead to the theft of his equipment over a week ago, Flvme swore to release an EP titled THE LOST PACKS: Vol. 1 to help counter any possible leaking of his music by the criminals.

Keeping to his word, he officially drops the 7-track project, complete with some of the songs he had previously previewed leading up to the robbery.

The project opens with THANK YOU JESUS followed by GRATEFUL, where Flvme shows gratitude for life, his support system, and the ability to make a living doing what he loves despite the challenges.

Though recorded long before the robbery occurred, the songs speak volumes considering that despite what happened, Flvme is alive and well, and is getting back on his feet to fight harder.

He carries his signature trap style throughout the project. HOW I LIVE is a high-energy song as Flvme describes his day-to-day; working hard and making hits.

He soon switches it up, wearing his heart on his sleeve as he seranades his love interest in SHE LIKES ME down to ALL I AM.

As winter fast approaches, many fans had been requesting the rapper to drop something soft to accommodate the snuggle weather and I believe many of his supporters will be very happy with these additions.

Stream the project below:

Dj Sliqe & Flow Jones Jr. Decipher Sta Soft On Entlek Entlek

Dj Sliqe was recently invited over to Entlek Entlek, a YouTube channel that hosts local artists to decipher their lyrics, to break down Sta Soft along with Flow Jones Jr. who is also featured in the song.

The track forms part of Champion Music 2, Sliqe’s collaborative project with 25K and MagleraDoeBoy released in late 2022.

As it also features Emtee as well as a verse from Don Kilo; Sliqe and Jones humorously deciphered some of the bars while linking them back to the central theme – grinding and working hard to stay soft.
