For his first release of 2025, Minz returns with part two of ‘f.u.’, this time featuring Oxlade and American R&B singer Jacquees. Unlike the original—a dancehall-inspired afrofusion track with Projexx and French R&B act Yo Trane—‘f.u.2’ leans into an R&B flair, aiming to push ‘f.u.’ to newer audiences.

The new release sticks to the original’s lore: a pursuit of romantic interest through cash and promises of sexual satisfaction, all over the same instrumental. What stands out on ‘f.u. 2’, however, is the interaction between both guest artists, with Oxlade’s Afro-R&B inflections complementing Jacquees’ immaculate R&B verse. It’s hard to say exactly what was going through Minz’s mind while making ‘f.u. 2’, but if the idea was to improve on the original, then Projexx and Yo Trane’s verses probably should’ve stayed.

Still, ‘f.u. 2’ is a delicious blend of R&B perspectives layered onto what was originally a dancehall record.

M3lon’s offering is unique in that it typically delivers soothing music, regardless of the subject matter, with the added benefit of mainstream appeal. As evidenced by his choice of collaborators on the EP, M3lon seeks out similarly calming but distinct sounds from guest artists like KAESTYLE and Minz, resulting in an amalgamation of musical brilliance. On ‘London Girl,‘ released a day before the EP, M3lon explores romance while simultaneously being consumed by lust. “You make me move like a gangster, saw that a*s on Tinder, said let me grab your Insta,” he glides smoothly, maintaining a cadence that fits perfectly with the mid-tempo production by Timmy.

But it doesn’t end there, the percussion is delayed, setting up the listener for the guest verse. Minz stays within the lustful theme of the track as he professes his desires to the lady while hungover: “Olohun seh, I getti hangover, I wan dey bend, I wan dey bend your back aghahowa.” Together, they create a memorable record, with a delivery that complements each verse rather than overshadowing it.

While M3lon’s four-track EP ‘When Life Gives You Melons‘ offers a soothing blend of introspection, romance, and a hint of lust, listeners should pay closer attention to what M3lon, Minz, and KAESTYLE have to offer the music scene in Nigeria and beyond.
