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.


Reekado Banks — “Rora (Acoustic Version)”

Every year since he broke out, Reekado Banks has dropped at least one defining hit. For 2019, it was the exceptional “Rora”. Now, to kick off the new year, he’s dropped an acoustic version of the vibrant track.

This iteration enlists Femi Leye, whose solo guitar riff helped end the original track on a really high note. Expectedly, he kills it here as well, while still giving Reekado Banks ample room to shine.

Granted, fans of the afropop star would have probably preferred an entirely new track for his first 2020 release, but it’s hard to be mad when what we did get is something this solid.
