On the lyrics, instead of singing, Ric reverts to his rapper days and handles it with ease showing fans that he still got it.

Big Daddy Jayy ft Buju – Somebody’s Daughter

Famous for producing some of Chocolate City’s classics, and recently MI and AQ’s joint project “The Live Report”. This time the ‘Big Daddy’ substitutes his producer figure to unfold his lyrical dexterity and rhapsodic adroitness as he releases a six-track EP ‘Jayynius’. “Somebody’s Daughter” is a stand-out track off the E.P as he features the newly recruited Spaceship Records bloom. A coalesce of Jayy’s rap capacity and Buju’s afro-soul brought euphony to this jam. Listen here.

Akon ft Wizkid – Escape

Veteran International music icon of Senegalese descent, Akon finally released his widely anticipated single, “Escape” featuring Nigerian superstar, Wizkid. The last time we had a collaboration between the two was in 2014 on Wizkid’s Album “Ayo” on the track “For You”. Escape is a renaissance of their synergetic art and if you still miss the old Wizkid, this song is for you. The song is a funky urban pop sound about running far away and escaping with their love.

Ajebutter22 – Big Man Talking


The Yoruba Shakespeare and alte pioneer, Ajebutter22 discharges a brand new single blazing with wordplay and witticism as he talks about how Big Men don’t want to be interrupted while talking, they resisting negative opinions.
