Pick of the week: ItsUCee featuring EESKAY, Zilla Oaks, Drayko, B1g Nova - Target
Moment of the week: Hook on 'Don't Know' by Manuel Cole
Here are our picks of the week;
Irigo featuring T.O.D Szn - On My Life
The song feels like an Afro-swing track that British rap acts might choose as their lead single for chart success. The song is about love and sex.
Kimilist ft Kwame Yesu , Medikal - Kyer3
Our pick of the week, it comes from a Ghanaian trio and it's a bop for today, tomorrow and next year. The video could have just done with a storyline that follows the stories in the song.
VRSD and Bionic the Soul King - TELL ME
This track is two songs that came together to become "TELL ME"; painfully and angrily but gently laid on The Soul King's sonic bed. The song about police brutality and the lives lost.
Srem Life - Spirit of Ogoni
The song is about the land of Ogoni, which is what Ken Saro-Wiwa fought for till his death. Till date, Nigeria has not worked on it.
Zilla Oaks featuring Eeskay and Psycho YP - Follow Me Reason
With the essence of a 2000s Afro-pop record, Zilla Oaks records his third straight heat featuring fellow Abuja emcees, Psycho YP and Eeeskay.
Deaj featuring Fuad and George - Jojo
With Wizkid-esque vibes, Chicago-based Deaj produces Saxophone-heavy music dedicated to a beautiful woman with incredible sensuality in her steps.
Eeskay featuring Odumodublvck - Agbalagba
Off Eeeskay's two-track EP comes this song about the Nigerian old man. 'Agbalagba' is Yoruba for an old person. In essence, Eeskay and Odumodublvck call themselves Agbalagba.
ItsUCee featuring EESKAY, Zilla Oaks, Drayko, B1g Nova - Target
This is our pick of the week, all you have to do is press play. The song is an absolute madness in trap music.
Manuel Cole - Don't Know
Based on self-vaunting, Manuel Coal brags his way from coast to coast on this song about lack of belief from people.
Tochi Bedford - Bros
Off the 44DB collective member's 2020 EP, Eternal Mob came this project.
