Nasty C & Zack Tabudlo Connect In Upcoming Coca-Cola Collaboration

Coca-Cola recently got South African rapper Nasty C and Filipino singer-songwriter Zack Tabudlo to partner in a new song coming out soon that fans are already raving over.

The unnamed love song was previewed on both artists’ Instagram pages, where Junior raps, “Girl, you’re the strings to my heart. Girl, you’re the keys to my car, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.”

Nasty C, who is no stranger to the Coke Studios, worked with Zimbabwean artist Buffalo Souljah in 2016 and, later, Nigerian singer, Runtown the following year.

21-year-old Tabudlo first caught public interest when he appeared in the first season of The Voice Kids as a contestant. His recent single, Gusto, has become a Spotify chart-topper and currently sits on just shy of 15 million streams.

This new song is presumably Zack’s first South African collaboration and could lead to more work for him in Mzansi.

BENJAMIN Explores His Thoughts In “Conversations With Myself”

The last day of June saw the release of BENJAMIN‘s long-awaited album, Conversations With Myself, following months of preparation.

The self-produced project examines BENJAMIN’s conflicting thoughts about the self, his career, and his relationships. He introspects in the high-energy production, speaking on his purpose and dedication to the music.

A festival owner/ promoter and record label founder, BENJAMIN commits his time and energy to growing $treetfe$t and 720records, while building a sustainable music empire.

The project runs at 19 tracks with no other features but BENJAMIN’s alter ego, NOTBENJAMIN, who makes a single appearance in Internal Conflict. As the former battles the menacing thoughts in his head, his not-so-friendly second self appears toward the end with threats of impending violence.

He uses his shortcomings as motivation to push him in the right direction. An independent artist, BENJAMIN finds himself having to work ten times harder to secure his place in the music industry though he’s committed to succeeding, and is fortunate enough to have the support of his community.

Listen to the project below:

$treetfe$t Reveals New Merch

NOTBENJAMIN recently shared images of $treetfe$t’s latest apparel additions, and his followers highly approve.

The red varsity baseball jacket sports the festival logo and the letters “NY” in front, as well as a USA flag on the right upper arm – a new addition to your winter wardrobe.

$treetfe$t already has several apparel items in its storage, including tote bags, beanies, and caps. We can’t wait to start rocking the new merch!

Big Yasa drops the “Who” visuals trailer

Big Yasa, a top Kenyan driller, has finally dropped the teaser for his latest single, “Who”, after the successful “blocks” collaboration with Buruklyn Boyz.

The Blocks project was a masterpiece, from the audio to the visuals, setting the stage for the new project.

Big Yasa displays consistency in his craft, aiming to take over the Kenyan drill with his infectious drill. The real name Yassin Issa, also known as Biggs, is a drill artist, rapper, songwriter, and performer from the Mad Clan record label based in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya.

Biggs’ music is based on real-life situations from his neighbourhood in Kibera. His music is real and inspirational. Most of his songs are meant to educate the youth.

The track is upbeat and with high energy in his usual style. Biggs shows out with his hard-hitting lyrics, bar after bar.

The video is only a teaser, giving his fans a taste of the project before its official release. It is already making waves, with fans highly anticipating its release.

Check out his music and the trailer as we update you on its release.

Psycho YP and Layzee Ella Stand Out As The Only Features On Monaky’s Debut Album

Psycho YP and Layzee Ella Stand Out As The Only Features On Monaky’s Debut Album

Two years after ‘The Goat’ had the whole country wondering if Burna Boy had been cloned, Monaky has climbed the hill of separating himself from the artist that inspired him and stood out as a distinct voice in the Nigerian music scene, with a slew of singles under his belt.

Now finally, since the two-faced-stoner anthem, Monaky has delivered his 11-tracker debut studio album titled ‘Patient Zero.’

Whether for the purpose of making a statement or not, the album has only two features and none of them are singers, as if to prove that he can deliver a stellar project with minimal feature assistance.

The guest features, Psycho YP and Layzee Ella, are both rappers though not yet mainstream household names. Monaky greatly favors authentic connections, most notably with the underdog as opposed to industry template formulaic link ups.

Nigerian face of Trap music, Psycho YP and underground rapper, Layzee Ella make an appearance on ‘Payroll’ and ‘Achilles’ respectively.

Lead single, ‘Payroll’ is a hustler anthem in the vein of 50 Cent’s ‘I Get Money’ and Junior MAFIA’s ‘Get Money.’ The slow bop made for hustling stoners is accentuated by Psycho YP’s appearance that is so short, you can miss it in a blink.

Despite it’s length, YP’s melodic raps leave the listener wanting more rather than eliciting a loud hiss of disappointment – adding to the replay value of the song.

‘Achilles’ is a more uptempo, phallus slanging, king-kong-chest-beating manifesto of sexual prowess. The song is doused in self-praise so much that one might forget it’s a love song.

Layzee channels her inner Koffee in her verse that’s equally as short as YP’s on ‘Payroll.’ The Koffee semblance is channeled not by Patois writing but by the vocal inflections employed by the femcee.

These numbers are undoubtedly standouts in the project, with both YP and Layzee making equally exceptional appearances and complementing Monaky’s performance in both. Fans are already going crazy over the lead single all over social media.

What do you think of YP and Ella’s performances? What do you think of Monaky’s debut?

Odumodublvck and Fireboy Merge Okporoko Music And Afrobeats On ‘Firegun’

Odumodublvck and Fireboy Merge Okporoko Music And Afrobeats On ‘Firegun’

Odumodu has proven to not just be a gimmick with his unique ‘Okporoko Music,’ infusing Grime and Afro-rap. The rapper has consistently climbed the ranks of the Nigerian music industry since 2021 and 2023 has been his magnum Opus year. Odumo as he is fondly called by fans has hit four top ten songs on the Nigerian charts this year alone. His highest charting song titled after West Ham United Star Declan Rice, broke streaming records as the fastest song to reach #1 on Apple NG and highest first day streams for a Nigerian song.

After ‘Declan Rice’ won the hearts of Nigerians and Brits alike, Amaarae stated that Odumodu can become more than just an aggressive rap persona but also a staple of infectious melodies and he ostensibly took that advice seriously, as shown on Firegun. It’s almost as if Big Kala swore that Fireboy won’t out-sing him on the song.

Fireboy is making a return to consistently putting out new music since featuring on the standout ‘Jabo‘ on Wande Coal’s third studio album, he released the trending ‘Yawa‘ and now Fuego is lending his silk-smooth vocals to layer this bop titled after both artists— Fireboy and Big Gun.

Rumours of the Native Records and YBNL artists working together hit the streets after they were spotted together at an event early this month and photos flooded the bird app.

Modu brought the melodies out for the intro of the song, in a call and response four bars with Fuego and the latter takes over the chorus to deliver a bop heavily laden with Retro-Nigerian references and parlance, as typical of the Alté scene.

There are mention of Olu Maintain’s catchphrase, “Kamakazee, kentro,” even Fireboy is not left out of the time traveling as he references MC Galaxy’s “Komolop cholop.”

This is exactly why the streets love Odumodublvck, he is as brash and abashed and confident in his statements as Nigerians are famed for, all over the world. Modu is as Nigerian as Nigerian can be.

Only Modu and a few others like Ghost of SDC can intertwine Tarantino’s Anti-slavery hero with Adonitology with the line, “Ikebe super na there I die, I be like Django.”

The sexual references are as witty and comic as they are important; Odumodu’s consent acknowledgement and Fireboy’s invitation to orgasm.

Bar the terrible cover artwork, the song is perfect in all ramifications. Modu may just have the worthy follow up to “Declan Rice” finally, if the team does the necessary promotions, ‘Firegun’ should seat in the same pantheons as ‘Dog Eat Dog,’ ‘Picanto’ and the aforementioned song named after a now Arsenal footballer.

What are your thoughts on the new single?
