Artiste: Boye The Genius
Song Title: Like Stars On Earth
Producer: Boye ‘The Genius’
‘Stars On Earth’ talks about how many musicians strive to attain celebrity status, money, fame, etc. The truth, however, is only a few people manage to attain those things, so all I can do as an artist, who finds himself also in that pool of musicians who want to achieve all those things, is to believe in myself and my craft, share my truths through my music, and scheme. Like Stars on Earth, everybody has great potential, the least you can do for yourself is believe in yourself, work hard towards your goals and watch everything work out perfectly for you.
Artiste: Kwesi Arthur
Song Title: Zombie
Producer: Two Bars
King Arthur is back again with another song titled Zombie, day in and day out Kwesi proves to everyone that he can be here and there at the same, so many people have their views and opinions as to what Kwesi can do and what he can’t do. Kwesi doesn’t have to argue with anyone all he has to do is to enter into the studio and drop bombs and a typical home is Zombie. The video for Zombie is out on YouTube, watch via the link below.
Artiste: Joey B ft BOJ
Song Title: No Waste Time
Producer: Altria Nova
The baby boys are falling in love this season and Joey B is new on the list, he teams up with Nigeria’s BOJ on his new song No Waste Time. Being the baby boy that he is, he’s simply asking the girls not to waste time, if you like him, just move to him, it is that easy, life is short to keep your feelings bottled up, show your feelings. Ladies if you like someone you have to put tradition aside and make the move for real. Love is beautiful. Video for No Waste Time is available on YouTube.
Artiste: Nii Amu
Song title: Wuramu
Producer: Kotiboomin

Social media is a powerful tool for most creatives, they draw a lot of inspiration and are influenced by a whole lot of positivity from it. For this song by Nii Amu, he relates it to a video they went viral on the internet some weeks ago, according to him, the video that circulated online generated this creativity. “I decided to use a situation I’ve been in to mix up the video and create a fun sound that everybody can enjoy”, we hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

Artiste: Kelvin Black
Song Title: Cry For You
Producer: Snowwie
Cry 4 you; an emotional piece lamenting on the hurt that comes along with being friend-zoned by a special someone. The message is this song is simple and it’s sad that our boys will master the courage to express their innermost feelings only to be pushed to the friend zone, ladies we can do better, the boys need love too. Cry 4 you is available on SoundCloud.
Artiste: McBriggs ft Kelvin Mo & Gyakie
Song Title: Shakara
Producer: Jaji
McBriggs teams up with Kelvin Mo and Gyakie to bring a new love anthem titled Shakara. Shakara is a term which means “to flex” on someone, flex is also a slang meaning to show off, more like considering yourself superior to others. In this song, someone is certainly flexing on Briggs and his friends. Kelvin Mo and Gyakie bring their amazing voices to share their stories with us. Listen and Enjoy.
Artiste: JoeBoy ft Mayorkun
Song Title: Don’t Call Me Back
Producer: BeatsByKO
It seeks to me like JoeBoy is telling a beautiful love story through his music. From Baby to Beginning and now Don’t Call Me, you know the type of love story that starts with meeting someone you love so much, falling in love with them and then being hurt by them so much that you don’t want their love anymore, yes that’s the story JoeBoy is telling and all these songs are off his upcoming 5- track Extended Play (EP), Love & Life. The other two songs on the EP which haven’t been released yet are All for You and Blessings. If there is anyone who is not giving you the love you deserve, walk away and simply tell them not to call you back.
Pre add his upcoming EP on Apple Music here.
Artiste: Robby Adams
Song title: Up & Down
Producer: Jesse KYNG
Mix Master: Nixie Official
Robby said “Up and Down” started as an idea for a song about a movement and dance and intimacy but as the song progressed, certain lyrics were written to have a positive impact on women and the way they viewed themselves, but at the end of the day it’s still a feel-good Jam.
TAPES
Artiste: Younga 101
Tape Title: I Make Pink Gangster
My project, I make pink gangster is a motivation for expansion of talent, encouraging artistes to move out of their comfort zone, sampling other genres. I started rapping at a young age, strictly sticking to hip hop and freestyle battles. Over the years, I included singing, and then RnB as well as Afrobeat. Spreading my wings has not only improved my perspective on music but also sharpened my talent which I believe is essential for any artist. This is the outcome my project is designed to achieve.
The project features Twitch, Kelvin MO, Questo and B.Botch and Kaylie
Artists: Moorsound ft Kwame Yesu & Questo
Tape Title: TIMES WE NEED EACH OTHER.
Producer: Moorsound
Mixed & Mastered by: Moorsound (RGG studios)
This tape is so refreshing. The chemistry of the artists on the collab is incredible, blending all their unique sounds together while exhibiting their prowess The production on this EP is near flawless.
Flexx is a perfect opening song to the EP as the energy exhibited shows the Ambition work ethic each of them possesses. The message is clear, they been on the grind and now it’s time for them to flex! that hip-hop /trap sound fits like a glove on this record
Fire: has the modern-day Afro sound. The beat will make you move your limbs and ready to *shaku shaku* The boys are making a statement here; there’s much more to them than trapping
I No Want Do (Joey Bennette Flow)
This is the track where the brethren solely off their lyrical abilities and delivery. A couple of witty bars that will make you smirk and smile
I Dey Wonder
This is the perfect track to end this beautiful masterpiece and energizing and bopping sound with catchy phrases.
