Tino Taps Solo Sae For New Single “HOW YOU FEEL”

Tino is back after dropping the Video for Honest from his DRMSTATE EP, He collaborates with Solo  Sae on this one titled HOWYOUFEEL the song is about what it feels like when things finally start  going your way. There were hard times, there were people who doubted you, the person you loved  walked away, but now things are looking up 

Tino is an artist/producer from Johannesburg, South Africa bringing dark, ethereal sounds to the  world. Growing up, his affinity for singing and dancing expanded as he gained inspiration from acts  such as Chris Brown, Usher, and Trey Songz. He spent most of his adolescence honing these skills in  the shadows, growing ever more connected to the craft. He then found himself heavily influenced by  the influx of new age R&B artists and surrealism. The result is a self-termed “Lucid R&B” artist, who  delivers a fusion of late night R&B and melodic turn-up rap. Tino upholds the idea of self empowerment and limitless potential. This is evident in how the self-taught artist sings, writes, and  dances all the while doing all the production, mixing and editing. However, on this latest release he  has enlisted Malawian hip hop legend Dominant 1 to oversee the mixing and mastering. With this,  Tino is looking to further establish himself as an artist to watch and continue to grow his global fan  base.

Nigerian rapper and songwriter Zlatan Ibile during a chat session with Adesope (Shopsydoo) of The Afrobeat Podcast and a revered Afrobeat representative in the UK reveals that Prolific rapper PsychoYP put him onto OdumoduBlvck.

Zlatan who recently released a new extended play titled “Omo Ologo” is the latest guest on the podcast having a media run to promote the new project.

When asked how he met and made the Picanto record with the then-upcoming rapper OdumoduBlvck, Zlatan revealed that he met the rapper a year before, through a mutual friend, who happened to be PsychoYP.

Remember OdumoduBluck had revealed during one of his early interviews sometime this year that he needed the Zlatan verse in order to be able to secure an advance with his label, a gesture that Zlatan provided with love.

Zanku further revealed that Odumodu while trying to reach him had asked to come with him to his next football outing, a proposal that Zlatan Ibile rejected and asked instead suggested to the delight of OdumoduBlvck, that he comes to his studio.

A few days later both rappers linked up and made a hit record on Picanto, the song became a mainstream hit and was well-accepted by fans and critics alike.

It is also noteworthy to mention that PsychoYP who introduced the two also has a record with Zlatan Ibile, a record they titled “Stronger“.

Collaboration amongst rappers looks like the way forward to promoting the Hip-hop culture in the Nigerian music scene.

On “Omo Ologo EP” Zlatan Ibile and OdumoduBlvck went ahead to make a new one for the fans, this time they titled the record “Oganigwe“.

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.
