VIDEO: Ketchup - Tripping ft. Lazbizi
Afro Dancehall act, Ketchup served up visuals to "Tripping"; a song off the SKILAHMATIC album. You can't practice Social Distancing while listening to this joint. You gotta bump n grind.
THE Bigiano of Shayo fame makes a strong comeback with a fresh bop tagged "Go Crazy". He's clearly still got it!
The self-acclaimed Nigerian Adele finally dropped this cut after teasing it on social media.
Is it just me, or does this kinda sorta have a Rema feel to it? A jam still!
VIDEO: Bella Alubo - Don't Trust Geminis ft. Ezi Emela
Bella Alubo recruits Ezi Emela straight outta the UK Afro-Urban scene for this Afro Soul cut. The joint is off Bella's "Summer's Over" EP.
#Random: Ezi recently announced she was quitting music. I wonder if this signals a change of heart.
