Towards the end of February Jah Bouks released a touching new song titled “Gone Too Soon.” The record, which is clearly dedicated to his grandmother – who has apparently passed away from cancer – is released on his own Angola Records label.

A few days ago Yemi Alade shared another video from her Empress album, which was released last November. This time around the afro-pop artist dropped the visuals for “Turn Up,” track number twelve.

Afropop artist Mr Eazi has released his new EP, Something Else. It is now available on all digital music platforms courtesy of Eazi’s own Banku Music label and emPawa Africa.
Produced by Killertunes and E Kelly, lead single “The Don” is a dramatic, opera-inspired slice of afro trap. On “E Be Mad,” the album’s second single, producer Kel P surrounds Eazi’s sonorous tenor with the textures of vintage Ghanaian highlife music.
In addition to Killertunes, E Kelly and Kel P, Something Else also features production from Spellz, Blaq Jerzee, and Jaylon. Its lone guest (on “Cherry”) comes from Kenya’s Xenia Manasseh, one of 30 emerging artists handpicked by Eazi to participate in the emPawa30 talent incubator.
As he continues to push his 2020 album, “Twice As Tall,” Burna Boy is once again giving us some more visuals from that project. A few days ago he uploaded the official video for “Onyeka,” track number six on the LP.
