<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Step into this week’s new music friday, where pulsating rhythms, heartfelt melodies, and irresistible grooves command the dance floor, the road, and your soul. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These releases blend energy, dancehall fire, and soul-stirring vocals to deliver movement, motivation, and pure escapism. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dance by Fave</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-1024x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-8354" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-300x300.png 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-150x150.png 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-768x768.png 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-180x180.png 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-90x90.png 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-370x370.png 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-800x800.png 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-20x20.png 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-740x740.png 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1-48x48.png 48w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This track will have you gliding all the way to the Greek islands and then to Santorini. True to its title, Fave crafts a beat built entirely for movement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It's a sleek fusion of R&amp;B warmth, Afrobeats bounce, and dancehall flair that pulses with infectious percussion and shimmering synths. But beneath the dance-ready production lies a romantic record about falling unexpectedly and wanting to escape into a world built for two.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fave sings about a love that feels different from the rest, admitting that while people and situations may come and go, her feelings remain impossible to ignore. The dreamy references to Greece, Santorini, and Paris paint a picture of lovers eager to leave everything behind and get lost in each other's company.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s the perfect song to serenade a lovely dance partner under dim lights, inviting you to lose yourself in its rhythmic sway and sultry grooves.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Many People – Ema Ogah &amp; Ladipoe</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ema Ogah opens with a mesmerizing, rapid-fire delivery that blurs the lines between rap, prayer, and hypnotic chant, leaving listeners captivated by his unique cadence and the now infectious “Aimoye” refrain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beneath the energy lies a message of resilience. Ema reflects on lessons learned, chasing success, and blocking out distractions, repeatedly returning to the idea that there are "many people" talking, doubting, or watching, but "that one no concern me." It’s a mindset anthem wrapped in clever lyricism and relentless momentum.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then Ladipoe steps in like grounding energy. His verse slows everything down without killing the momentum. He touches on the pressures of success, navigating industry politics, staying authentic, and the reality that visibility often attracts criticism. His bars carry the confidence of someone who understands that growth requires both thick skin and perspective.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Produced by Ucee, the bouncy beat drives high-energy momentum, layering sharp flows over vibrant percussion for an unstoppable anthem about facing forward, giving your all, and stepping into your “that one no concern me” era. Equal parts motivational and self-assured, “Many People” feels like the soundtrack to keeping your head down, trusting the process, and refusing to let outside noise dictate your journey.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shatta Wale continues his unstoppable momentum with “Nervous,” a head-nodding banger perfect for cruising with the windows down. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The production (via So Unique Records) fuses dancehall swagger with infectious grooves and wicked, street-ready beats that keep the energy high. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sing along, bop your head, and let the Dancehall King ease those nerves while lighting up the drive.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br>Ric Hassani links up with Tehga for this soulful ballad that captures love’s dreamy pull. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Their voices intertwine seamlessly over smoothgentle melodies, warm instrumentation, and heartfelt harmonies create an intimate soundscape. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a beautiful ode to fantasy and connection, with Ric back in his element delivering vulnerability and romance, we're hoping it doesn't end in another 'Thunder Fire You' moment.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br>Victony is an artist who rarely misses, and “Fre$h” is just another feather in his hat. Produced by Ozedikus, the record is a joyful celebration of a woman whose confidence, beauty, and style command attention wherever she goes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Built on bouncy Afrobeats rhythms, crisp percussion, and infectious melodies, “Fre$h” finds Victony fully in admiration mode. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From repeatedly calling his muse “fresh” to declaring that he has never seen anyone in her category, the singer paints a picture of a woman who effortlessly stands out from the crowd. His playful lyrics and smooth delivery add charm to the record, making it feel less like a love song and more like an appreciation anthem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s the kind of song that makes you want to send a text, post a picture, or even reconsider your single status.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another stacked New Music Friday lands with a vengeance, the kind that feels engineered to yank you out of autopilot and right back into the pulse of what’s moving the culture. It’s a week where ambition is loud, experimentation is premium, and the releases arrive with the swagger of artists who know exactly where they stand in 2025’s sonic landscape. Young Jonn swings for the fences with <em><strong>Blue Disco</strong></em>, a 21-track, dual-mood odyssey that cements his frontman era. Zaylevelten sharpens his glitchy trap gospel with a <em>“crazier”</em> deluxe built for the underground faithful pushing him into the mainstream. And Joshua Baraka steps forward with <strong><em>Juvie</em>,</strong> a debut that frames East Africa’s next superstar in full colour. From Afrobeats heavy-hitters to boundary-smudging misfits, this week’s drops remind us that the ecosystem is shapeshifting fast, and everyone’s racing to define their lane before the year wraps.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>Blue Disco</em></strong><strong> — Young Jonn</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-1024x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-7325" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-370x370.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-740x740.jpeg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-600x600.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Young-Jonn-Blue-Disco-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Off the heels of his 2024 breakout ‘<em>Jiggy Forever’</em>, which racked up over 600 million streams and solidified his leap from shadowy producer extraordinaire to Afrobeats frontman, this 21-track behemoth, <strong>‘Blue Disco’</strong>, arrives with sky-high expectations. The Nigerian hitmaker has teased a "duality" concept: the "blue" for introspective melancholy and raw emotional digs, and the "disco" for euphoric, bass-thumping release. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/youngjonn?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==">Young Jonn’s</a> ‘Blue Disco’ is ambitious, star-packed, and clocking in at a hefty runtime.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The opener, "Padre Nuestro", sets a cinematic tone right out the gate. It's a Spanish-infused prayer-like murmur over shimmering synths and subtle hi-hats, evoking a hazy dawn in a neon-lit studio. Young Jonn's hazy vocals, smoother and more controlled, float like smoke, whispering gratitude and manifestation vibes. It's intimate, almost vulnerable, pulling you into the "blue" side immediately. No big bang, just a slow burn that makes a listener lean in, wondering if this is the evolution he promised in his recent Clash interview: a matured artist reflecting on personal growth. By track two, "Lalala" ft. Rema, the disco switch flips. Rema's effortless flow layers over syncopated basslines and infectious hooks, turning this into an instant earworm. It's a chaotic joy of amapiano whistles sneaking in, with Young Jonn's ad-libs bouncing like party confetti. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The momentum builds relentlessly through the midsection, where the features truly shine without overshadowing Young Jonn's delivery. "Level Up" ft. Olamide is a street-anthem slapper with gritty bars over thumping percussion that feels like a victory lap for Young Jonn's own come-up. Olamide's sanguine energy ("All of my life, I just wanna level up") mirrors Young Jonn's ambition, and the production is as immaculate as the delivery. "Cash Flow" ft. Wizkid, is a laid-back luxury cruise with Starboy's signature croon blending seamlessly into Young Jonn's energetic bounce. It's the kind of effortless chemistry that elevates the whole project, think hazy R&amp;B meets Afrobeats shimmer. The real fireworks, "Che Che" ft. Asake his second collab on the project, after "2Factor" ft. Asake &amp; Focalistic) are euphoric monsters. The production is an amapiano-fuelled chaos with log drums rattling like fireworks. Asake's playful yelps push it into overdrive, and it's the track that is crafted for not just the dance floor, but to intentionally soundtrack the merriment that comes with the end of the year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Solo cuts like "Full Control" showcase Jonn's vocal growth, a smoother delivery over disco-nodding synths that are culturally rooted, but it feels a tad transitional on this initial pass, more vibe-setter than hook machine. "Go Shawty", ft. DJ Tunez, injects fun with its cheeky bounce, and "Touch", ft. Shenseea, brings a dancehall flirt that pops, her patois slicing through the electronic haze like a breath of Jamaican air. Yet, as the album hit tracks like "LAPO Baby", "Strika", and "Minivan" introspection deepens, with Young Jonn manifesting success and praising higher powers over gliding strings. It's tender, almost gospel-tinged, but the 21-track sprawl starts to creep in around "What Are We" ft. Franglish. The R&amp;B simmer is sultry, but fatigue nips at the edges; a tighter edit could've sharpened the conceptual punch. The amapiano flex on "Airdrop" and the closer "Safe Space" recover nicely, with the latter's emotional core hitting like a quiet revelation. The album concludes with "Outro: Blue Disco" a spoken-word poem over fading disco pulses; unique, risky, and a poetic bow on the whole affair, echoing Young Jonn's evolved headspace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘<em>Blue Disco’</em> is a victory lap that sticks the landing and moonwalks across it. Young Jonn's production wizardry remains his superpower, weaving Afrobeats elasticity with global disco flair and electronic edges that feel tailor-made for borderless playlists.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>Then 1t G0t Crazier (Deluxe)</em> <strong>—</strong>  Zaylevelten</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-1024x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-7324" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-370x370.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-740x740.jpeg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-600x600.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Zaylevelten-Then-1t-g0t-crazier-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fast-rising artist Zaylevelten, Lagos’ own trap alchemist and off-kilter visionary, unleashed the deluxe edition of his September breakout, and ‘then 1t got<em> crazy’</em>. Clocking in at 16 tracks and just shy of an hour, this expanded cut arrives like a fever dream extension, adding four new heaters, including features with Mavo and Odumodublvck, to the original's raw, experimental edge. Born in the underbelly of Nigeria's new-wave scene, Zaylevelten, who also doubles as the project’s executive producer under the name Tenski, has been teasing this "crazier" escalation since the original's drop, promising deeper dives into his eccentric psyche: a genius trap delivery laced with Afrobeats glitches, spiritual hijacks, and visuals that look like glitch art from a cyberpunk Lagos. Then ‘1t g0t crazier’ deluxe sees four additional tracks to the original release including ‘Wuse Tu’ featuring Mavo, ‘Idanski tw0’ with Odumodublvck, ‘Lowzy’ and ‘1sa l0t’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The opener, "Wenski", hits like a distorted sermon—warped samples of street preachers over skittering hi-hats and Zay's murmured manifesto on fame's double-edged blade. It's disorienting, almost cult-like, setting a tone that's equal parts hypnotic and harrowing. The outro "Idansk tw0", remixed for the deluxe ft. Odumodublvck flips the script with the guest artist’s frenetic flow, injecting pure anarchy and turning a solid original cut into a certified menace. The bars clash like rival crews: Zaylevelten's sly menace vs. Odumodublvck's explosive delivery, all over a beat that rattles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">"1SA L0T" strips it back: eerie atmospherics and Zaylevelten's stream-of-consciousness flow over sparse beats, touching on paranoia and triumph. It's vulnerable, almost ASMR-trap, and hits different in the dead of night, proof of his growth from producer shadows to lyrical force.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&nbsp;"Wuse Tu" ft. Mavo, the first deluxe exclusive, is a melodic trap odyssey with Mavo's silky sing-rap delivery weaving through Zaylevelten's gritty verses. With an infectious bounce—think amapiano whispers under trap thunder—and on initial listen, it's the earworm that demands an immediate rewind. Mavo's vibe adds emotional depth, turning what could be a flex track into something almost confessional, about chasing highs in low places.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not everything detonates on impact, though. Tracks like "Gbona" and "Butti Vybes" (original holdovers) feel transitional here—solid vibes, but the sprawl tests attention in our bite-sized era, blending into a haze of eccentricity that might need spins to unpack. Album of the Year users clock the original at a respectable but niche 70-ish average, praising the boldness but noting the "acquired taste" trap niche in Afrobeats' shadow. The deluxe's four extras (pushing to 16 songs) add texture and replay value, as Album Talks highlights, but a tighter curation could've made it lethal. Still, in a week dominated by Young Jonn's <em>Blue Disco</em> at No. 1, this No. 2 chart climber proves Zay's pulling weight—early streams are surging, and X is lit with "wave active" declarations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘<em>Then 1t G0t Crazier’</em> is Zaylevelten's manifesto of controlled chaos—a trap odyssey that's as intellectually hijacking as it is viscerally thrilling, blending Nigeria's street pulse with global glitch aesthetics. The new tracks (especially "Wuse Tu" and the "Idansk1" remix) inject fresh fire without diluting the original's eccentric core, showcasing an artist who's not just riding the wave but engineering the tsunami.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Uganda's Afro-soul prodigy <a href="https://afromixx.com/afromixx-artists-to-watch-out-for-in-2025/">Joshua Baraka</a> has just handed the world his debut album, <em>Juvie</em>—a 12-track introspection on youth's wild ride, dropped yesterday via Moves Recordings and exec-produced by the inimitable JAE5. At a breezy 36 minutes, the album is a polished gem, blending Joshua Baraka's signature falsetto silk with R&amp;B confessions, Afrobeats grooves, and dancehall sparks. Building on the momentum of the early success of viral singles like "NANA" (over 100 million streams) and EPs that turned heads across East Africa and beyond, Joshua Baraka—born in Kampala, a multi-instrumentalist shaped by Bob Marley and Cory Henry—promised a project reflecting "juvenile" chaos: love's highs, heart's lows, and the hustle in between. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The opener, "One of One", wastes no time asserting dominance—a Beyoncé-esque vocal delivery over introspective keys, strings and subtle percussion, like a deep breath before the storm. Joshua Baraka's layered harmonies build like a prayer, teasing vulnerability that echoes his growth from bedroom producer to global contender. It's cinematic, pulling you into ‘<em>Juvie's’</em> thematic core: navigating young adulthood's mess. By track two, "Morocco" ft. Axon, the vibe shifts to sun-soaked escapism—crisp Afrobeats rhythms laced with dancehall sway, Axon's smooth assist elevating Joshua Baraka's hook into an instant cruiser. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The heart of ‘<em>Juvie’</em> pulses through the midsection, where Joshua Baraka's storytelling shines without needing a safety net. "Still Young" ft. JAE5, the pre-release heater is a nostalgic flex, pulsing bass and Joshua Baraka's reflective croon over JAE5's rhythmic wizardry, grappling with time's theft in pidgin-tinged poetry.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then "State of My Heart" ft. Bien drops like a confessional bomb, Sauti Sol's Bien adding gospel warmth to Joshua Baraka's raw ache, over soulful strings and minimal beats. It's tender, almost therapeutic, unpacking love's wreckage with lyrics that cut deep: <em>"Heart in a state, but I'm healing slow"</em>. Paired with <em>‘Sorry’</em> and the upbeat "Corner," a flirty Afro-pop bop that's all confidence and corner-boy charm, the contrast creates an emotional seesaw that's riveting.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The outro, "So Low" featuring The Compozers concludes the project with its moody introspection, eerie atmospherics and Joshua Baraka's vulnerable lyrics, evoking late-night regrets that mood-swing straight to catharsis, standing out for its rawness, equally "mood changing" alongside "Wrong Places" for that heartbreak grip.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘<em>Juvie’</em> is a debut triumph, Joshua Baraka's soulful odyssey through youth's spectrum, fusing Afro-soul intimacy with Afrobeats flair and R&amp;B finesse.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">FAVE’s “Intentions” featuring Urban Chords is a refix shaped by the undeniable presence of AI in today’s music landscape. After her COLORS performance on June 30 and the original release on July 18, an AI-generated remix by Urban Chords went viral on TikTok earlier this year, triggering a wave of fan excitement and ethical debates around synthetic vocals. In a surprising turn, FAVE — the original IP owner of “Intentions” — has now partnered with Urban Chords, the Lagos-based vocal collective known for blending gospel-rooted harmonies with modern production. Together, they reclaim the narrative by layering her airy, emotive timbre over AI-enhanced choral textures, marking what some listeners are calling Nigeria’s first true “AI choir” moment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The track unfurls like a midnight prayer, opening with FAVE's signature whisper, soft and intimate. The minimalist production from Urban Chords sets the stage: subtle mid-tempo drums pulse like a heartbeat, shimmering guitar riffs flicker like distant city lights, and atmospheric synths weave a hazy veil that screams introspection over instant gratification. Her vocals glide in on the hook: <em>"Intentions, what are your intentions?"</em>, peeling back the cool-girl armor for raw vulnerability, dissecting love's murky motives with pidgin-inflected poetry that's equal parts ache and accusation. It's soul-baring from the jump, but laced with FAVE's playful menace which hooks deep, and demands a pause to let the words sink.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the track progresses, the Urban Chords drop like a divine intervention—not mere backups, but an enveloping gospel-tinged embrace that swells the track into something transcendent. These aren't your standard harmonies; crafted with generative AI to mimic human warmth and resonance, they add lush, otherworldly layers that feel both futuristic and familiar, turning FAVE's solo vulnerability into a communal catharsis. The choir's entrance elevates the bridge into euphoric territory with harmonies stacking like a virtual congregation, bearing witness to her lyrical confessions without overpowering her lead. Production-wise, it's a blend of R&amp;B undertones flirt with Afrobeats' elastic groove, keeping it danceable yet meditative, a far cry from the high-BPM bangers dominating playlists.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The verses lean heavily on vocal layering over sparse beats, which risks blending into ambience for casual spins—though that's the point, per FAVE's own words in recent chats: "AI is here... but I want to guide the narrative and make sure the art still has heart." FAVE’s “Intentions”with Urban Chords is a luminous reclamation, a haunting Afrobeats-R&amp;B hybrid where vulnerability meets vanguard tech. The Urban Chords (AI-infused or not) transform a solid confessional into a spiritual flex, blending gospel soul with futuristic flair that's tailor-made for late-night unwinds and dawn-after playlists.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br>This week’s musical menu is a rich mix of Afrobeats, Afro-R&amp;B, and cross-cultural collaborations that deliver an impressive array of sounds. From Ayo Maff and Zerrydl’s reimagining of a nostalgic classic to YKB’s party anthem, the selection is packed with creativity. Teni and Skiibii bring their signature chemistry to a lamba-filled tune, while Joshua Baraka and KiDi craft a heartfelt Afro-R&amp;B masterpiece. Not to be missed, SuperSmashBroz team up with Fave for an experimental yet addictive track. Plug in, turn up the volume, and explore the finest of this week’s releases.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ayo Maff &amp; Zerrydl – Find Money</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-1024x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-4794" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-370x370.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-740x740.jpeg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-600x600.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_6584-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this cross-cultural collaboration, Ayo Maff and Zerrydl deliver an innovative record that samples and interpolates X Project’s “Lori Le.” Amusingly, Zerrydl’s performance as the guest artist shines so brightly that it raises curiosity about who truly owns the song. His stellar verses, coupled with layered adlibs, add an irresistible charm to the track. Combined with the nostalgic nod to X Project, “Find Money” is a well-crafted record designed for high replay value.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Joshua Baraka and KiDi, two non-Nigerian artists making waves in the Afro-R&amp;B and pop scene, come together for the stunning track “Someday. In October, Baraka impressed with his R&amp;B-leaning single “<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6yi8PVA7mWEo7N3qJBdI8F?si=_w1_0F1ETyu0SyFg-YtUkw">Lonely</a>”, and now he teams up with Ghanaian popstar KiDi, fresh off the success of his 2024 hit “<a href="https://afromixx.com/kidi-lomo-lomo-featuring-black-sherif/">Lomo Lomo</a>”. Together, they occupy a similar emotional space on “Someday,” delivering a heartfelt masterpiece of longing that immerses listeners in their feelings.  </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">YKB’s knack for compelling lyrics and unique cadence continues to set him apart in the music scene. Following the earlier release of his “YUSFUL MUSIC RELOADED” project this year, he wraps up 2024 with the infectious single “Omobanke”. Teased on social media to fuel fan anticipation, the track delivers with its vibrant call-and-response chorus, solidifying its place as a party staple just in time for the festive season. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week passed by swiftly, but not so quickly that Afromixx couldn't put together a fantastic playlist to kick off the weekend. This week saw the release of singles, EPs, and albums across Africa. We've painstakingly tracked good records, curating and sequencing them for your listening pleasure.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lil Kesh ft. Fireboy, Ayo Maff</strong> — <strong><em>Vex For U</em></strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-1024x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-4346" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-370x370.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-740x740.jpeg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-600x600.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5993-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the snippet shared a few days ago on social media before its release at midnight today, ‘Vex For U’ showcases an impressive collaboration from three unique artists who, in a little over three minutes, were able to have standout deliveries without outshining each other. And the result of this is a creation with high replay video. With Fireboy at the helm of the hook and transitional verses, Ayo Maff and Lil Kesh compliment each other, neither seeming out of place.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fido</strong> — <strong><em>Mr. Lover&nbsp;</em></strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-1024x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-4345" srcset="https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-768x768.jpeg 768w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-180x180.jpeg 180w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-90x90.jpeg 90w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-370x370.jpeg 370w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-800x800.jpeg 800w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-20x20.jpeg 20w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-740x740.jpeg 740w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-600x600.jpeg 600w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-100x100.jpeg 100w, https://afromixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_5994-48x48.jpeg 48w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fido continues to prove that he has so much to offer than what he appears to have been given in his fast rise to fame, and in a series of tweets he has vowed to make it known, claiming he is a bag of talent slowly creeping to disrupt the music industry. His latest release, “Mr. Lover,” is said to be a leak and wasn’t entirely a planned official single. But apparently, even an unplanned release is good enough to score Fido another golden track, the kind that gains mainstream success. Fido is aware of his capabilities, and he proves that on Mr. Lover with a flow and cadence you’re probably familiar with, but this is Fido.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bringing a major twirl to one of the hit songs off his ‘Ikigai’ album, Olamide taps Russ for a transcultural collaboration. And since he linked with Asake on "Reason," Russ shows he doesn’t discriminate against delivering hard-hitting bars regardless of the disparity in culture for as long as there’s a beat. The highlight of the remix is Olamide’s final verse that closes the song. He goes in unrestrained as a rapper out of retirement and reminiscent of Olamide on “Eyan Mayweather.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Emo Grae’s talent has never been questioned, but perhaps the typical personal troubles one may stumble on are what plague him and his shot to mainstream acceptance. With a pen that tells tales of romance and heartbreak delivered with a distinct musical voice, Emo Grae makes a comeback with “Be There," and he’s willing to risk it all for his love interest.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lately, Ghanian pop music is laced with delicious highlife riffs that form the basis for infectious rhythms and ultimately songs with a high replay value. On Rugged 2.0, Kojo Blak and the fast-rising Ghanian pop star deliver such a track that showcases both artists in a relentless pursuit of their love interests. The song shares how the pursuit of love can be a lengthy process, but not a lengthy one enough for these two love-struck boys.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The record comes as Fave continues to establish herself as a defining voice in contemporary Nigerian music, with her relatable storytelling and soul-stirring vocals resonating strongly across both mainstream and alternative scenes. With the EP on the horizon, audiences can expect an alignment with the emotional depth she showcased on tracks like “Mr. Man” and “Obsessed” in her debut <strong>Riddim 5</strong> EP.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fave’s <strong>Dutty Love</strong>, which arrives in less than 24 hours, is expected to solidify her standing as a poignant storyteller and her status in the Nigerian music scene and beyond.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">"I Homeless" features notable guest artists such as <a href="https://afromixx.com/tag/bella-shmurda">Bella Shmurda</a>, Fave, and Wizard Chan.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ahead of the album release, Llona dropped two lead singles, "<strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3D9bfMv1mFaYZngz2kFmOn">Another Day</a></strong>" and "<strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3wZx58DkyBoPIQ8UaAdt3g">Cold War</a></strong>" featuring Fave. "Another Day" has particularly captured industry attention with its powerful visualizer, effectively conveying the song's potent message and introducing Llona to a broader audience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In May, Llona partnered with Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative (MANI) to offer free counseling sessions for fans and therapy sessions for five individuals. Llona's participation in these sessions underscores his commitment to mental health, a theme also evident in his lead single, "Another Day."</p>
