Kelvyn Boy & Quamina Mp – Choco

Currently in the Afrobeat eco-system, Amapiano is at the highest point of popularity, taking all the shine from the other sub-genres.

Amapiano is undoubtedly the one of the biggest music genres in Africa now. Orginating from South Africa, the drum heavy sound which has shifted Gqom to the side has since become a mayhem across Africa.

Currently in Nigeria, Afrobeats artistes like Rexxie, Mayorkun, Dremo, Tekno, DJ Spinall, WurlD, Timaya, DJ Tunez, Alpha P, Skales, DJ Xclusive, Bella Shmurda, Zlatan, Ckay, Tunde Ednut, Tiwa SavageDavidoWizkid, Flavour, Seun Kuti and many others, have performed Amapiano in recent months.

It is fascinating to see the Nigerian music industry and it’s producers are owning the sound which originated from South Africa, and if things are not explicitly done, Nigerians might be responsible for making Amapiano break into the international music market.

Gradually making it’s way to the shores of Ghana, musicians like D-Black, Smallgod, Sefa and a few others have leveraged on the frenzy to make club hits. Kelvynboy is the latest Ghanaian act to branch out with the Amapiano genre, teaming up with Afrobeat hitmaker, Quamina Mp. He titles this potential party rocker ‘Choco’, produced by Anelworldiwde.

Bella Shmurda – Party Next Door

Nigerian singer , Bella Shmurda under the imprint of Oneword Global premieres a new song he entitles ‘Party Next Door’.

This latest cut registers as Bella Shmurda’s third single for the year, following the successes of the previous records, ‘Rush’ and ‘World.’

Party Next Door  is a Vibez Ace production.

CDQ – Tekiller

Titled ‘Tekiller’, CDQ together with the highly-skilled Nigerian producer, Jay Pizzle combine their creative intellects to create a club banger, infusing Amapiano sonics with electronic music with subtle touches of Afrobeat sentiments to perk it up.

Mixed and mastered by Suka Sounds, ‘Tekiller’ was released on the 2nd of July 2021, a single off CDQ’s impending EP “Vibes & Lifestyle EP”, which is slated to drop later this year.

We trust CDQ to deliver on every beat which of course he did on this new new.

Stonebwoy – Outside

Bad governance is a prevailing situation present in many African countries. Citizens are left with no options than to campaign against these unfavorable conditions that kakistocracy comes with.

Not long ago in Nigeria, the #EndSars course of action was undertaken by the worried and concerned Nigerian citizens to end the ill-suited killings by the SARS organization and as well dissolve it completely. The campaign took a different turn, resulting in more killings of armless protestors.

A similar event is cropping up in Ghana under the despotism ruling of President Nana Akuffo-Addo. Since renewal of his tenure in office in 2020, the leader of the New Patriotic Party and his government have centered their ruling around corruption, lack of transparency and arbitrary policy making, bringing about an uproar spearheaded by social crusaders and it’s citizens. An online campaign dubbed #FixTheCountry was launched to serve as a medium or platform pour out their dissatisfactions. The campaign was well received, catching the attention of international media houses.

In Ghana also, events took a different turn when several attempts to launch a peaceful demonstration led to the arrest of some public figures and also the recent killing some protestors by the army. Recent developments in Ghana with regards to unfavorable conditions facing it’s citizens has left the masses perturbed. Some public and celebrities are leveraging on their large following to add their voices to this unfortunate events.

Stonebwoy, a well-known social activist took to his twitter timeline to vocalize his criticisms. He said;

Following these tweets, Stonebwoy further went on to vent his feelings in this new song titled ‘Outside’, produced by Streetbeatz.
