When Zinoleesky first appeared in 2019 with a run of viral freestyles and the breakout single “Kilofeshe,” his appeal rested on candour as much as melody. Six years later that instinct for plain-spoken storytelling anchors ‘Gen Z’, his debut album. The 16-track project arrives after two years of recording sessions split between Lagos and London […]

For listeners who follow Kizz Daniel’s steady run of chart appearances, the arrival of a new seven-track EP may feel unexpected but hardly out of character. The Nigerian singer—who closed 2024 on a high with the ‘TZA’ project and a sold-out date at London’s Wembley Arena—has made a habit of working at a brisk creative […]

Imagine this: You’re looking up at a stage as a woman just over 5 feet tall shimmies into the spotlight, encased in a shell-like oversized suit jacket and silver boots. She has a disco-style blowout and the vibrato of Joni Mitchell. You’re confused by the papier mache-looking suit, but the minute she starts singing, you […]

It’s 2025, which means music from Megan Thee Stallion has been blasting on the radio for nearly a decade. Yet, it still seems as though the “Savage” rapper is facing racism, even if they aren’t blatant attacks.  Back in the day, the slander was partly tied to her extremely suggestive music video for “WAP” with […]
