Singer Kelvyn Boy is doubling down on the major success of his hit single “Down Flat” with the official remix of the song. This time around he teams up with Nigerian singer Tekno, and British rapper and singer Stefflon Don, resulting in a star-studded version of the huge afrobeats hit.

The rap lord Sarkodie dropped a fresh cut as well. Here he takes us to South Africa with this house-style tune titled “Labadi,” a tag team effort with singer King Promise. A fresh tune combined with fresh visuals, this one right here is a must for your daily rotation.
DarkoVibes "Happy Day"
Darkovibes has been on tour and in album mode simultaneously, which explains why we haven’t heard anything new from the talented singer in quite a while. But that’s changed with the arrival of his latest release titled “Happy Day," an afrobeats bop produced by Nigerian hitmaker P.Priime.
Wendy Shay "Warning"
Wendy Shay came through with a brand new single, titled “Warning”. On it, the singer details a relationship gone wrong and issues a stern warning to the current love interest of her ex-lover, throwing shade at both her ex as well as the one having her “leftovers”.
