Newly outdoored “Baby” marks MzVee’s fourth consecutive single release post-comeback.

The 9-track EP spots guest appearances from contemporaries Amerado, Lyrical Joe, Novo, Kojo Vyper, Kwe, and Kirani Ayat. Our pick off the project is grind inspiration anthem “Daawa” featuring Afro-trapper Kirani Ayat.
Ms. Forson ft Fameye -Number 1
Black Avenue Muzik signed diva Ms Forson collaborates with arguably the most sought after act of the moment Fameye on sentimental number titled “Number 1”. The upbeat afro-pop love duet was produced by Rony Turn Me Up, with visuals directed by Kwame Nyarko.
Rvdical The Kid ft Amaarae – NASA
NASA is the second track off Rvdical The Kid’s newly released EP aptly titled “Little Planet”. The self-produced track can be described as light-hearted and hypnotic, spotting a spacy and ethereal production over which Amaarae effortlessly floats whilst delivering potent bars. If you are a lover of alternative sounds, ” NASA” is definitely for you!
Herman Suede – One By One
Notorious for penning love bops, “One By One” is ironically the 17-year-old’s first love-themed song released this year. Herman Suede’s dulcet voice and infectious melodies, coupled with S.Kool Beatz’s production prowess, makes the upbeat afro-infused jam an irresistible earworm!
Samini – Forever
With the dancehall scene reclaiming its relevance over the past few weeks, reggae-dancehall titan Samini spearheads a lyrical ambush with newly released “Forever”. Produced by long-time associate JMJ, “Forever” sees Samini take pride in his longevity at the echelons of Ghana’s cut-throat dancehall scene (spanning multiple decades), declaring his reign is forever!
Tulenkey – Link Up
Gifted fast-rising rapper Tulenkey drops a solid party anthem in “Link Up” produced by M.O.G Beatz. “Link Up” serves as a follow up to his previously released “Ghetto Boy” which features afrobeats crooner Kelvyn Boy and rapper Medikal which is still buzzing. Hopefully newly released “Link Up” will follow suit.
Sista Afia ft Fameye – Party
Sista Afia takes us back in time with her 90s inspired contemporary highlife jam. As the title suggests, Sista Afia’s release is a party anthem. Produced by Willis Beats, and featuring prolific act Fameye, the nostalgic record carries the vintage sounds of 90s “burger highlife” music.
