For this new song titled “Koo Koo Fun,” American electronic music group, Major Lazer, South African producers, DJ Maphorisa, Major League DJz, and Nigerian singer-songwriter Tiwa Savage join forces.

The Amapiano-inspired tune has the African Bad Girl flaunting off, and the lyrics are catchy and simple to sing along to.

Sarkodie ft. King Promise – Labadi

The flawless partnership between King Promise and Sarkodie is back. The duo has collaborated on classic tracks over the years and hasn’t yet released a subpar one.

Collaboration between Sarkodie and King Promise is comparable to that of a world-class football team with players who are aware of one another’s position unperturbed. Due to the reputation this partnership has, people actually do watch for it when the opportunity arises.

Sarkodie’s annual Rapperholic event is approaching in December, which is also just around the corner. Every year, Sarkodie releases a project before the event to create anticipation for his headlining performance.

An album titled “The Jamz” record will serve as the culmination of this year’s event. In order to generate interest in the event, several teasers have already been released.

The newest single from Sarkodie, “Labadi,” will be one of the tracks on the album. Ghanaian songwriter and vocalist King Promise is featured in the amapiano-inspired, rap-heavy song.

Recent collaborations between Sarkodie and K.O., Sefa, and Masterkraft demonstrate his command of the Amapiano genre. With the lead track from the JAMZ album, he continues to explore his affinity for the genre. King Promise, on the other hand, sings a wonderful hook with a melancholy, calming tone that properly connects with the listeners.

Black Sherif – Soja

Following a social media announcement of his new single, Black Sherif finally premieres the eagerly anticipated song.

Adomaa – In the Clouds

KiDi – Habibi

Serving as the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut Sugar, 2021’s The Golden Boy arrived as a statement of intent from Accra-born star KiDi, who undeniably sealed his position as one of the most critical voices of his generation. All these high watermarks have ensured that the anticipation for the hiplife icon’s next release is frenzied, but rather than meet these stratospheric expectations with pop bombast, KiDi withdraws inward to gently introspect on love and romance on 2022’s 4Play.

Employing the same textured highlife rhythms and mellow R&B vibes that characterized his debut, KiDi’s 4Play is a conceptual reflection on love, bolstered by fastidious songwriting that recounts the highs and lows of a romance. Four love notes form the anchor of the world that KiDi builds here, but the music continues to be arresting:

“Habibi” is an ode to trans-generational romance, and “Champagne” is a summon to the dance floor; yet “Zombie” pairs the singer’s quest for romantic yearning and emotional vulnerability for an unmissable highlight.

Ckay ft. Ayra Starr – Come Close

CKay’s ascension from a fast-rising amateur beatmaker to one of the top musicians of his generation has been nothing short of astounding in recent years.
