BURNA BOY – SWEET LOVE
Grammy-winning Nigerian international superstar Burna Boy has wowed fans yet again with his latest single, Sweet Love, as part of his highly anticipated eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness.
Following a string of impressive releases like Update and Bundle By Bundle, which have fueled excitement for the upcoming album, NO SIGN OF WEAKNESS, Sweet Love sees Burna’s ability to blend his signature Afrofusion sound with soulful reggae and R&B influences, delivering a romantic anthem that’s already sweeping fans off their feet.
Produced by Major Seven, known for his work with artists like Future and Rihanna, Sweet Love features a lush, percussive beat with warm melodies and a laid-back rhythm that highlights Burna’s unmistakable vocal charisma. The production’s reggae leanings, paired with Afrobeat’s rhythmic pulse, create a universal appeal, bridging his Nigerian roots with a global pop sensibility.
Burna Boy’s 2025 has been a whirlwind, marked by his historic sold-out Stade de France show in April, making him the first African artist to headline the venue, and a Billboard France cover feature. Sweet Love builds on this momentum, reinforcing his status as a global icon following albums like Love, Damini (2022) and I Told Them… (2023). As NO SIGN OF WEAKNESS takes shape, this single suggests a more introspective side to Burna, blending his cultural heritage with universal emotions.

BLAQBONEZ FT KIZZ DANIEL – FOLLOW HER
Super talented rapper, singer & rave Blaqbonez has teamed up once again with Nigerian hitmaker Kizz Daniel on a new single titled Follow Her. First conceived during their early attempts to collaborate in 2022, the track is as much a celebration of their genuine friendship as it is a genre-bending anthem designed for the summer months.

Though his parents once disapproved of his music career, Blaqbonez completed a degree in Computer Engineering before diving headfirst into music. From his roots in Nigeria’s underground battle rap scene to becoming one of its most versatile exports, Blaq’s rise has been powered by genre-defying creativity, sharp wit, and a magnetic persona.
Whether rapping, singing, or delivering viral skits, he has carved a lane with his fusion of Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, Drill, R&B, and Alté.
Breakout hits like Like Ice Spice and No Sleep $$$ featuring Young Jonn, both from his critically acclaimed Emeka Must Shine, earned him the 2023 Headies Award for Best Rap Album. Since then, he’s collaborated with a global roster including Ludacris, Odumodublvck, Black Sherif, Victony, Amaarae, CKay, and JAE5.
Now entering what he calls his Super Saiyan era, Blaqbonez is gearing up for his most ambitious chapter yet.
