Enjoy!
10. “Brother” – Highstarlavista feat. Hugo P
This track is a wake-up call to friends and associates. Igbo rappers Highstarlavista and Hugo P paint a vivid picture of the harsh realities of the streets, urging listeners to stay focused, secure the bag, and watch out for those who might want to take what they have.
A hard-hitting drill rap record with a strong streetwise message, Brother delivers raw energy and sharp lyricism. If that’s your vibe, hit play.
9. “Hustler’s Anthem” – Bayanni feat. Don Jazzy
Bayanni and Don Jazzy have no time for the “money can’t buy happiness” mentality—they’re all about stacking cash nonstop. And let’s be real, money solves plenty of problems, so why not make as much of it as possible?
This track is an anthem for everyone grinding to escape poverty, a motivational banger for hustlers chasing success.
8. “Mulla” – Kashcoming
Money is deeply woven into the Nigerian identity—an obsession you just can’t take away. Like many before him, Kashcoming sings about its necessity. In his world, money isn’t just wealth; it’s respect, access, and freedom from ridicule.
While “Mulla” carries the same aspirational energy as many street anthems, its production takes an unorthodox route, making it stand out. A smooth and compelling listen.
7. “Wetin (Remix)” – Yarden feat. Libianca
This track dives into the sting of unreciprocated love—something we’ve all experienced. But instead of walking away blindly, Yarden seeks clarity, wanting to understand his rejection before he moves on. Yet, even in his search for closure, his longing still lingers.
Cameroonian singer Libianca mirrors his emotions, adding her own unique touch to the remix, which arrives two years after the original. If you’re in this phase, Yarden’s song understands your pain.
6. “Options” – Tesh Carter
Matters of the heart come with emotions, but Tesh Carter has already made up her mind—she’s moving on. With self-worth and shakara in full effect, she sings about a love that’s fading and the power she holds in letting go.
She doesn’t need saving—she’s got options and is living on her own terms. The song’s groove and ambience feel like twirling in a silk robe, wine in hand, celebrating the well-earned exit of a once-special love.
5. “Flee” – Ejoya feat. Aisosa, RnB Princess & Arieenati
Ejoya Music’s newly released Velvet EP—the R&B chapter of its Ejoya Class of 2025 album—delivers “Flee,” the project’s most emotionally stirring record.
Singers Aisosa and RnB Princess lay bare the moment of choosing peace over a toxic relationship. They don’t linger in heartbreak; they walk away for the sake of sanity—just as every self-loving person should.
If a past relationship still stings, let this song remind you why you chose comfort over chaos.
4. “Babcock” – Dxtiny
Long-distance love is no joke, and Dxtiny captures the ache that even FaceTime can’t fix. His love interest is miles away at Babcock University, while he’s stuck in Uyo, counting the days until she returns.
With longing in his voice, he clings to the hope of seeing her again—so long as his patience doesn’t wear thin.
3. “Like Awilo” – PayBac iBoro & The Chill
Carefree and electric, PayBac iBoro channels the vibrant energy of Awilo Logomba’s iconic dance moves on this bouncy new single from his upcoming OMO BOY MIXTAPE.
Over The Chill’s dynamic production, he seamlessly blends rap and melody, laying bare his emotions, vices, and desires. He wants to dominate his game, embrace joy, confront sadness, and find company—all at once. And he does it in the most infectious way possible.
2. “I’ll Be Okay” – Joeboy feat. Wizard Chan
Joeboy embraces vulnerability on Viva Lavida, and “I’ll Be Okay” is one of its most poignant moments. He lays his fears bare, hoping his imperfections won’t hold him back. Wizard Chan mirrors this openness, though his leans toward faith and divine guidance.
Despite the urgency in their pleas for peace and clarity, both artists remain hopeful. Their message? Keep pushing forward—calm and assured.
1. “Believe” – Noon Dave
Chocolate City signee Noon Dave reflects on his journey with pride, embracing the growth that once seemed distant. He prays for longevity to enjoy the success he’s steadily building. While not everyone saw his potential from the start, he’s certain that, in time, they will.
This track is an anthem for self-belief. If you’ve ever faced doubt, let Noon Dave’s conviction remind you to trust your own path.
