Barry Kay Drops ‘Obsessed’ as Lead Single Off His Upcoming Project

Nigerian rapper and alté artist Barry Kay unleashes the lead single from his forthcoming music project. The Alternative R&B and melodic rap song titled ‘Obsessed’ was mixed and mastered by the Lagos based rapper.

“Obsessed is inspired by Tay Iwar and also my love life and also me tryna pass a message that not all bad traits are bad, cause I see obsession as the truest form of showing your feelings and affection. If you’re not obsessed with what/who you love, then you’re not in love,” Barry told Hip Hop Africa.

Go give ‘Obsessed’ a listen, as fans await a release date for the project.

AQ And BlaqBonez Shine On Family

Nigerian rappers AQ and Blaqbonez have just delivered to us their new anthem “Family“.

On family, AQ and Bonez deliver a joint effort, which we’ve seen them do before, but this time they preach unity, friendship, lifestyle, pain, loyalty and their individual greatness.

Of course whenever these two link up they always come in hard with their best efforts, knocking on the beats with dope punchlines.

Bonez who took the chorus on the record emphasises family ties while he delivers a hook laced with super emotion, genuineness and super originality.

AQ deliberates on how society is so fucked up while rapping about how he perceives himself and why he understands why enemies do not rate him.

Both rappers discuss how far they have come from being down to being on top while looking back at their friends who move like enemies, asking “Is this love?”

While this is AQ’s first release of the year, it is Bonez’s second appearance of the year, following his super humorous record “Breaking The Yoke of Love” where he featured singer Chike and vocalist Raybekah.

Family is expected to be one of the tracks on the forthcoming “God’s Engineering” album by AQ, which is expected to be released later this year.

One thing for sure is the song is very catchy and should definitely do well on the charts if pushed. Bonez brought in his A-game on the chorus.

Mashbeatz opens up on his regrets about being in The Wrecking Crew

Raving South African music producer Nhlawulo Mashimbyi, popularly known by his stage name Mashbeatz, revealed on Zingah’s podcast ‘Choppin’ It With Bhudha T,’ that his biggest regret while being part of A-Reece’s super collective, The Wrecking Crew, is that they never got to release a body of work as a whole collective.

Bhudah T, who previously went by the rap names Zingah and Smashis, asked Mash if the crew got a chance to drop something together as one unit and he responded, “no bro, that’s one thing like, if I got any regrets that is the one.” 

The President, as he is fondly called by fans also gave the disclaimer that although they did not release a project, The Wrecking Crew which composed of Mash, Reece, Wordz, 1000 Degreez, Mellow, Ecco, Flvme, Ex Global, B3nchmarq and Tyga Bankz, still put out a ton of music as several artists and as a group.

“But we put out a lot of sh*t, so it still feels like we have been out here, you know. We put out a quite of records, maybe three, four joints, it’s not a lot of joints that we put out as a crew like collectively as The Wrecking Crew,” The Limpopo born producer told Bhudah T.

The Wrecking Crew’s short-lived reign birthed hits like ‘Welcome To My Life,’ ‘Tell Me What You Want’ amongst others, and Mash produced two albums of his own and one Reece album, with Wrecking Crew members featuring heavily on the tracks.

OdumoduBlvck

Nigerian rapper and talk-of-the-moment OdumoduBlvck had some things to get out of his mind this morning.

The rapper who is set to be one of the guest features on Zlatan’s forthcoming “Omo Ologo EP”, took to his social media page to reveal some interesting facts about the forthcoming song.

The rapper made it known that “Oganigwe“(The song title) will set all the standards that are necessary to get the Nigerian Hip-hop scene back to its initial momentum.

According to Odumodu, the song is going to be very versatile, he revealed that Zlatan’s verse is almost a song on its own, further adding that Jeriq’s verse carries its own hook and he himself who was privileged to do the hook came through with a hook that is entirely versatile.

He further dared critics and confirmed he could not wait until they score the hit song a 10/10. Odumodu believes that once the record drops everyone will be on the lookout to invest in the Nigerian hip-hop scene and confess that “it’s a new era and no one should be caught on the side of unbelief.”

Odumodu who seems to be really excited about the record further disclosed that the record will be pushed by the streets and no major digital promo will be required to push the record within the country.

To conclude his long tweet, he revealed that the record will set rappers on the table where kings are seated, further revealing that all they will have to do is sit, laugh and watch the sun come down.

We are also excited to see what the three have been cooking in the studio, hopefully, the Declan himself delivers on his words.

OMO OlOGO EP: What to Expect?

Although Zlatan is a hardcore rapper when he wants to be he is also a singer, this project seems to focus more on him being a rapper than a singer. However, the project is also set to feature some hardcore Eastern Nigeria instrumentation.

Sounds from both studio sessions he shared left fans with the joy of having him on something more cultural and yet hip-hop packed.

Conclusion

Zlatan has always been hard on all of his projects, so this is not supposed to be any less, however, production and instrumentation on the project are expected to take a crazy turn of surprise. We look forward to listening to what the sensational artist has in store for us on the project.
