“falz ft BNXN” Ice Cream (REVIEW)

The new single, “Ice Cream,” is Falz’s second release of the year, after the amapiano collaboration “Oga.” It is also a stepping stone to his next project, which will be released before the end of the year.

Falz comes through with his trade-mark silky smooth delivery on ICE CREAM, while pleasantly pulling out some slightly uncharacteristic risque lyrics, Blended perfectly with a uniquely delivered sugar-laced hook by Buju.

BNXN opens Ice cream and it is definitely not a bad call .

Ice Cream sounds like a good song with hit maker written all over it.

BNXN’s delivery on Ice cream could have been quite better.

Because not only did he open Ice cream, he is the only one with vocals on Ice cream.

The delivery could have made Ice cream sound more interesting as it began.

So what was needed was that BNXN delivered his verse with more energy and passion.

Falz nails his delivery on Ice cream, and this is what makes Ice Cream even more interesting to listen to.

BNXN lyrics on Ice Cream are actually intriguing when you listen to.

Falz delivers his lyrics on Ice Cream with such professionalism.

He has always known how to deliver the lyrics of a bad guy and this is what he did exactly with his lyrics on Ice Cream.

The production on ice Cream is almost perfect for the song.

It is so suitable for Ice cream because Ice cream does not need beats that will make it sound watered down.

Obviously, with the song lyrics and theme, it is obvious Falz and BNXN are the playboys who want no intimacy with women but only to gratify their desires.

They just want to play around because they are Ice Creams, you can’t have them permanently because you enjoy it for a period of time and it finishes.

Coi Leray Reveals Debut Album ‘Trendsetter’ Release Date & Cover Art

Coi Leray says her forthcoming debut album “Trendsetter” will be “one of the biggest female artist albums in the world.” She has spent the majority of the past 12 months proving her naysayers wrong.

She’s faced immense scrutiny for her music but she’s gained the respect and support of her peers in the rap game. All of the work she’s put in over the past few years have culminated in her forthcoming album, Trendsetter, due out on April 8th.

Coi Leray hasn’t revealed a tracklist yet but she has left behind a trail of clues surrounding what to expect. Two weeks ago, she released “Blick Blick” ft. Nicki Minaj, which will surely be on the album. Leray commemorated the release with a new tattoo in tribute to the song. She also revealed that Polo G sent in vocals for the project over the weekend.

The album announcement comes a little over a month after Coi revealed that she’d be taking a break due to the hate she’s received. The slew of positive messages that followed clearly put a battery in her back.
