There’s so much new music being released that it’s hard for even the most loyal fans to wade through the trash to find the gems. That’s why we’ve created #BumpThis – a Friday series that features new songs, by and featuring Nigerians, that you absolutely need to hear.


DMW — “Mafa Mafa” ft. Davido, The Flowolf, Peruzzi & Dremo

At least once a year, Davido’s star-making label, DMW assembles a bunch of its strongest players to deliver a definitive banger. For 2020, that track is the Nakademus-produced “Mafa Mafa”.

On party-starter, which sounds like it could be a Naira Marley hit, everyone involved comes correct. While Davido surprises by impressively switching up his flow, it’s Dremo that ends up stealing the entire show.

Oxlade — “Weakness”

Oxlade, a rising star seemingly incapable of dropping a mediocre track, just released his debut project, Oxygen. While all its 6 tracks are expectedly stellar, the obvious standout is definitely “Weakness”.

On the song, Oxlade sings about a blatantly toxic relationship. While he admits to knowing that the object of his affections is no good for him, he also shows no interest in leaving.
