Timaya x Sanko (Remix Feat Destra)

Like all good things sometimes a little spice is need to make something great just a little bit better. Timaya’s Sanko has been the song of the past couple of month’s and the addition of Trinidad’s own Destra makes this song even more so. hopefully this song will be as successful as Timaya’s last Carribean Collaboration with Sean Paul.

Sarkodie x Ojuelegba (Wizkid Cover/Remix)

Even though they sped up the original’s beat to make it sound a tad like dembow, this remix is great. The double time flow of Sarkodie over this laidback thankful song is a great combination.

Edanos x Whine For Me (Feat. Timaya)

Newcomer Edanos teams up with Timaya for this dancehall flavoured piece of afropop. This really could be a cousin to Sanko, which if this is going to be a formula we are happy with. Highlife esque chorus’s with early ninties Taxi Gang esque riddims.

Nidia Minaj x Ne Assim

Jess and Crabbe of Bazzerk records have been releasing Afro-digital dance music for the past couple of years. Their latest release features recent interviewee Nidia Minaj, you really don’t want to miss out on one of the world’s rising stars.

Frenchy Le Boss x Flexing (Feat. Giggs)

Although the grime scene here in the Uk is getting its ovedue shine, the “rap scene’ is also getting interesting again. Here multilingual Frenchy Le Boos (born in Paris, raised in South London) teams up with London mainstay Giggs over the most invasion not produced by invasion beat of all time.
