After a brief hiatus from the music game, Scientific makes a return with new song ‘Cold Summer’. Together with a video, it wholly serves as an input to Fabolous’ #ColdSummerChallenge. With scores of people dead and the world at a standstill, ‘Cold Summer’ descends into the darkness that cloaks our ongoing plight, scientific walks the path of what many will dub as conspiracy theories, but could simply be the bitter truth, ranging from 5G, bioterrorism and anti-vaccine to lack of media credibility, Scientific reads between the lines and pieces things together ever so beautifully using his ginormous lyrical wits and finesse atop some buttery-smooth delivery.

This particular one is a jam and it comes with a video, it’s hard to identify each member of the group but it’s worth the watch.
Freddy Hayz featuring Kay T – Don’t Need You

From strangers to friends to besties, the list can go on and on but today our focus is on “Bestee” by Boorle Minick and KLU. A best friend is one you can confide in, share issues with and all that but sometimes we become extremely close to our best friends so much that we turn to want more from them, that’s where all the problem start from, Boorle and King Klu in their new song, tell us about a best friend wanting so much more can jeopardize the beauty of the friendship, sometimes being friends and staying friends is way better, trust us on that.

Diane Dddd feat Kadja – Waiting
The weekend music continues with a new song from Diana titled “waiting”, the song gives us in-depth relationship issues from the female and male point of view. Knowing the right time to fall in love is key, you might have good vibes with the other party but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s okay to have a solid relationship, you need to know them, understand them and communicate with them to know the right thing to do. Waiting may seem like a long thing to do but it’s definitely worth it.
Queen Drie – Mama
Queen Drie’s “mama” is an in-depth description of mothers, who they are and what they stand for, they will go through hard times just to make us feel better but hard times never break them or destroy them, that’s how strong they are and we appreciate them for all of that.
