PHLOW – Cheque
Rapper Phlow is one of the most consistent rappers around, and with a dope pen, too. On Friday, her EP Marmalade (entirely produced by Alpha Ojini) was released and I can't stop loving "Cheque", an Afro infused cut that spells out the rapper's ambitions. "No more danfo, I wan buy Benz". Amen.

YUNG6IX ft. ERIGGA, PAYPER CORLEONE & DR BARZ – You Dun See Am
Yung6ix's latest single is a woozy bar fest that features the most acclaimed rappers from the South side of Nigeria. As much as it's a political statement o peace, the song bangs, every verse coming through.
WURLD – WAYO (KPE LE WU)
Off his forthcoming Afro Soul EP comes the second single, "Wayo", a more traditional afrobeats song, with jazzy horns and soulful keys. WurlD pleads for honesty, vulnerable, asking for some freaking decency! No use me do wayo...
MEJI ft. SHAKEZ BABA & DAVID RHINO – Sidewalk
A soulful rap cut, the quality Meji's "Sidewalk" speaks even bigger. From the production to the verses, to the choir closer, "Sidewalk" is what great rap music sounds like. Waiting on that Meji project; promises to be dope.
MUGEEZ – Six In Da Morning
One half of R2Bees, Mugeez, has put out a new song, "Six In Da Morning". A bouncy record, the artist's energetic vocals tell a sweet tale of love and lust, an idea you might get from the title.
AJEBO HUSTLERS – Barawo
Port Harcourt based duo, Ajebo Hustlers, who made our 20 Artists to watch in 2020 list, have released their first song since then. "Barawo" is a song which takes on Nigeria's inefficiencies, but the duo does well not to compromise its enjoyability.
TOMI AGAPE – London
Tomi Agape's "London" is a chill bop, the singer telling of her humble beginnings and how far she has her sights on. "Bad times don't last forever" is a line which extends past the creator, and becomes a prayer. Especially... now.
KIDI – Next Time I See You
Ghana act KiDi's new EP Blue is all shades of cool, with such a defined sound. The closer, NTISY, features a stuttering baseline and the lyrical and vocal strength of the artist comes to the fore, as he sings of a lady he's enamored by.
