Mr. Music Man is back again. He carries his virtual pen and notepad this time and writes a love letter to his lover after a ‘mess’.

Samini is broken-hearted in this new song he titles “San Bra”, an Akan parlance which means “Return” or “Come Back”. In this one drop cut, Samini begs his lover to come back after ‘cheating rumours’. Samini cries his heart and lungs out to see his lover return. The melancholic mood he maintains in this new release is quite swooning to woo back his ‘long gone’ lover; well delivered on the Reggae genre.

In this month of love (February), everyone is doing everything to maintain and or rekindle their love bonds, Samini falls for the same route but puts it in a song.

Released just two weeks after his death, AKA’s fifth solo studio album, MASS COUNTRY, is equal parts a love letter to the country and the sounds he grew up with, and a cathartic journey through grief, healing and self-rediscovery. An idea that was sparked shortly after the heartbreaking loss of his fiancée, Anele “Nellie” Tembe, who passed away in April 2021, MASS COUNTRY is an offering of love in its many forms: There’s love of country, from an artist often lauded for his pioneering efforts to commercialise South African hip-hop; romantic love, from a man navigating deep loss and finding ways to heal and rebuild; and brotherly love, as an artist who was instrumental in edifying the generations of musicians he inspired, many of whom make appearances on the album.
MASS COUNTRY also cements AKA’s legacy as a producer who used an almost encyclopedic knowledge of South Africa’s most beloved hits to reinterpret them through captivating samples and interpolations. It’s a technique he famously employed on megahits like 2014’s “All Eyes in Me”, where he laid verses from Burna Boy, Da Les and Jr. over a sample of Brenda Fassie’s 1991 hit “Ngiyakusaba” (which interpolates elements from Jomanda’s “Got a Love for You”).

AKA recruited producers Christer, Fdeezus, Oriah, 031Choppa, KDDO, SayFar, Nlcno, Tshepo “Teddy” Moloi and Loud Haileer, alongside co-executive producers Nhlanhla “Nivo” Ndimande, Tshiamo Letshwene and Zādok. “Eighty percent of the album was made deep in KwaZulu-Natal,” he said. “We wanted to get into the soil, into the farms. We wanted to soak up the farm energy. We wouldn’t have been able to get that essence of South Africa and Africa if we don’t have real guitars, real music and real keys. Lots of guitar, lots of, like, South African vibes and African vibes.

Ghanaian musician Black Sherif and American rapper Bas have collaborated on the Kel-P produced soundtrack for the upcoming film, “Creed III”. The song, titled “Blood, Sweat & Tears”, features both artists delivering powerful verses over the hard-hitting beat.

The track is a testament to the perseverance and hard work it takes to achieve success, both in the music industry and in life. The inclusion of Black Sherif and Bas on the soundtrack is a testament to their rising star power and their ability to make an impact on the global stage.

Ghanaian Afrobeat sensation Kelvyn Boy is back with a new release titled ‘Be Like That,’ a perfect follow-up to his hit single ‘Billionaire’ that dominated the airwaves in 2022.  The song ‘Be Like That’ boasts of an infectious beat that will get you moving to the rhythm in no time. Kelvyn Boy’s silky smooth vocals coupled with the catchy chorus will have you singing along in no time.

With its syrupy lyrics and groovy beat, ‘Be Like That’ is sure to be another hit for Kelvyn Boy and a favorite among music lovers.
