King Promise, Rayvanny, Others With Best New Sounds from Africa

You may have been wondering where your favourite fast-rising musician from Africa could be hiding their music in recent weeks, a quick break from the regular media doesn’t hurt that much, does it?

Let’s take a quick stop at the best new sounds you’ve been looking for this week as we head to East, West and Southern Africa.

Mr. Pride – Longtime Feat. Mr. Moi

After a brief hiatus from the music scene, the Pride of Africa, Mr. Pride revives himself with a new Afrobeat single dubbed “Longtime” and this time, unlike his previous record which featured Selebobo, Mr. Pride collaborates with Mr. Moi.

The song talks about love laying emphasis on how far a lover can go for his/her love. Blending both the Nigerian Igbo dialect and English, “Longtime” makes good use of great vocal dexterity from the two acts leaving you a soothing listening peace. Take a listen to Mr. Pride – Longtime Feat. Mr. Moi below.

King Kaka – Mama Feat. Third Hand Music

Kenyan Hip-hop artist King Kaka recently released a new record which he dedicated to his mother. The song titled “Mama” features fast-rising Kenyan music trio Third Hand Musi. With a well vested poetic flow, King Kaka narrated his childhood story and the resilience of his mum amid the challenges.

King Kaka eulogies ‘Mama’ in the visuals below from a day’s long trip for his mum, on her birthday.

Ajo – Transcend

Breaking grounds with his new album titled “African Reality”, Kenya artist Ajo made his presence felt on several playlists. With a divided section of “African Reality,” the album’s first part initially addressed ‘Africa from the moment of colonialism’ while its second part tackles ‘Reality; from an African lifestyle after colonialism’ apart which is also a more personal section of the Album for Ajo.

With visuals based on an African theme, the first single off the album “Transcend” has been released with a video and it features snippets of speeches sampled from Ghana’s first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and South Africa’s best man Nelson Mandela.
