Excited to hear new music from star boy, especially now his sound is very international.
Yeah you heard right.. Ed Sheeran features both Fuse ODG and R2bees. In a recent interview with BBC 1 Extra radio station, the Grammy award winner tells tales of his trip to Ghana with Fuse ODG. He talks about how fun it was to make music with the Ghanaian artistes, Fuse and R2bees.

Effyzzie music diva and self-acclaimed mama Africa - Yemi Alade releases visuals for her Sugar & Spice track. 2017 is off to a good kick for the Diva, as this track is off her Sophmore album - Mama Africa - Diary of an African woman.
Yemi Alade recently got some backlash from fans, who said (paraphrasing so don't quote me) the diva's lyrics do not contain coherent words. She clapped back with a snapchat video!! Well the new track proves the fans wrong. Yemi Alade indeed has lyrics for days and is undoubtedly very versatile with her sound.
Harrysong in collaboration with the Ukwu master and Dem mama crooner, have released both audio and visuals for this high-life track. Harrysong is know for his alternative reggae/blues vibes and he portrays this again in this high-life track where he features Timaya.

Tanzania's king of RnB teams up with Mr Eazi to produce this hit banger - Phone. Released on the 3rd of January, the song is already hitting Tanzania's club speakers.
Earlier during the holiday, our very own starboy dropped his most recent single "Daddy yo". Its not news that wizkid's jams make us move, but this infusion of dancehall and afrobeats gets everybody moving. It might even make you pop an extra bottle in the club lol.
