These days are full of pain, these days our feelings are undermined, these days we don’t get the love we deserve, these days things are really different and we are glad that we are not the only ones who feel this way, Tems feels the same way as she expresses her emotions and feelings in her new soulful r&b song ‘These Days’.

Ara and Wes7ar talk lifestyle and flex in their new song ‘over’, they also talk about what some girls really want, the simples things nothing too complex, sending a message to listeners that things don’t have to be difficult for them to make sense, just one or two things here and there and it’s over.
Mr Drew featuring Stonebwoy – Eat (Love Riddim)
Mr Drew features Stonebwoy on ‘Came To Eat’ the cover of Rotimi’s ‘Love Riddim’.

Bosom P Yung – Hold Me Tight
P Yung is in his feelings this week as he shares with us his love story titled ‘Hold Me Tight’, the Ipappi production sees P Yung sing about his affection and his willingness to protect and take care of his said lover regardless of anything that happens or comes their way.
The Art – Neverland
The title ‘Neverland’ symbolizes the mind of a human being, a playground of emotions of joy, fear, and anger and alludes to the fictional home of Peter Pan, leader of the lost boys of Neverland. Like the fictional character, having no shadow indirectly means you have no reflection upon which you could see and know the sort of person you are and also having no template on which you could lead your life leading to struggles for self-identity and awareness. Artquake made ‘NeverLand’ to inspire people in his age bracket to embrace and smile through the pain and confusion of growth.
Zilla Oaks featuring PrettyBoy D-O, Mary OTM & Mojo – No Conversate
A lot of people believe in the phrase ‘action speaks louder than words’, Zilla is one of those people who believe in that, he teamed up with PrettyBoy Do, Mojo and Mary OTM to
make this much clearer on a Tochi Bedford produced song titled ‘No Conversate’, all the boys are trying to say is that you need to talk less and do more and that’s on period.
Stormzy featuring Burna Boy & Stylo G – Own It (Toddla T Remix)
The remix of Stormzy’s ‘own it’ off his ‘HITH’ album features Burna Boy with the same verse from the original song and guest features from Stylo G. To all the beautiful females out there, your beauty is yours and so you have to own it.
