It feels like an eternity ago now. Somewhere by the middle of last month, I had carefully planned a run of playlists with the fourth slated for Wednesday…two weeks ago. The day I started to execute was on the fateful May 25th. If I had to narrow down the type of hip-hop records I...

I’m just in time to close the month of October 😅😅😅. If you’ve been keeping up, then you will agree that this last quarter has been replete with good music projects. They are being released at a breakneck pace too! Certainly, we might need to gasp for air at some point; I just have...

There are three months to go in this 2019 and hot projects are being released at a fever pitch now. I’m loving it! I’ll keep helping as I have in previous editions and give my two cents on the crème de la crème of the latest projects. This week, I’ve been mighty impressed by...

In the spirit of celebrating the best of our humanity, I like to draw your attention to a recent discovery I made. Sampa Tembo, better known as Sampa the Great, is a young supremely talented Australian multihyphenate of Zambian origins. She kinda inspired the direction of this whole playlist and tilted it to that...

So I’ve happily picked the short straw to drive you into the weekend 😀. This month has been a glorious one for me and the ‘Smoke and Mirrors‘ series. And I’m intent on keeping up the momentum as we edge closer to the one-year anniversary — yes, it’s been that long! If you’ve enjoyed...

Roll and Coasters: His & Hers (Perspectives)

R&Cs: His & Hers (Perspectives)

I’m actually surprised it took Wretch 32 this long to release a video for one of the standout tracks off of FR32: “His & Hers (Perspectives).” For some time now, we had to be content with the unofficial video, which wasn’t too shabby either. What else is there in this playlist? Further confirmation that...

Being a fan of Harmonize and having converted a few Nigerians to his falsetto, it was a joy to see him collaborate with his fellow soft-voiced rising star from the Mavins stable. It’s only right for love to give the tone to this playlist and for Africans to lead the charge: we’re talking Nigeria,...
