Kold AF & Pretty Boy D-O: 4GET IT
If you’re looking to kick off your morning with hyped energy, then Kold AF and Pretty Boy D-O have hacked the recipe for you. Their new single, ‘4GET IT’, is a fantastic Hip-hop, dancehall rhythm, a ganja anthem if you please. Pretty boy D-O causes mayhem with his rap verse, smooth but doing the work, and Kold af takes the lead, giving us that boss-level energy on the chorus hitting the dancehall vibe, and spicing it up it with a likkle R&B tone. It’s an Energy flood on this track so don’t miss it, Get hyped and litty with 4GETIT.
Elestee & Ajebo Hustlers: Space
Elestee (formerly known as Lifesize Teddy), was born and raised in the bustling city of Port Harcourt and began writing music from as early as 9 years old. Drawing inspiration from an array of artists like Brenda Fassie, Lucky Dube, Sasha P,and many more, she takes out various aspects of their artistic journeys to construct her own Alt girl archetype. Elstee is different, whether she’s singing or dropping bars, her music holds this kind of coaxing softness, that stills fans to listen and enjoy. She features her fellow Port Harcourt stars; Ajebo Hustlers, on her new single ‘Space.’ The duo (Ajebo hustlers) take turns to lace the music with their touch. The first artiste switches up the music, flipping Elstee’s softness to his own high-pitched singing passionate, sweet and direct. The next voice brings it back to Elstee’s plane of soft and easy. Elstee comes around again, putting the song to a perfect close, flowing on like a stream of beautiful music. ‘Space’ is a wonderful experience and we can’t wait to see you basking in it!

Kaestyle shows us that there’s more to him as an artist, constantly topping his preious hits, the port-harcourt genius unveils a fresh dimension to his sound with "How Much." This isn't just a new song; it's an evolution of his sound. This delightful fusion of soft Amapiano and Hip-hop will have you grooving from the very first note.

Whether you’re getting your whine locked down, breakdancing, or head-bopping, there’s a space for you. The song gives you old Wande coal with a modern take.
