Serving as one of the striking cuts of his surprise mixtape “The machine is coming”, “Legolas” Is Odumodublvck in its purest form – pre -weight, inventive and unapologically different. From the jump the song is peppered with its characteristic Okporoko rhythms, which combines grim street energy with a cinematic leap that feels almost medieval in tone (a nod to the title inspired by Tolkien).

Oxlade arrives 2025 with the luxury release of “Oxlade from Africa,” But it’s “Doingz” That is immediately stealing. The song is a pure adrenaline soot – an up -tempo, confident anthem that the singer finds his vocal agility while embraces a brutal, almost flirty energy. Produced by Egar BoiThe song bounces with rich percussive layers, melodic synths and just enough space for the honey -like vocals of Oxlade to glide through effortlessly.
“Doingz” Is less about complex emotions and more about vibes, charm and unfiltered groove. It is made a song for the dance floor, for that moment in the party when energy is going on and everyone feels. With his earworm choir and carefree release, Oxlade proves again that he is not only a beloved boy – he is an atmosphere curator.

Ghana’s Black Sherif returns with his second studio album “Iron Boy,” And “Body” is easy one of the most emotionally resonant singles. While Sherif often plays in the space between introspection and national anthem, “Body” Leans in a more tender, vulnerable side. About soft, guitar-guided production with subtle influences of high life, he sings about emotional bond, desire and the pain of misunderstood.
In addition, Sherif’s grabbing voice injects raw emotion into every text “Body” Feel both personal and universal. The production is intentionally stripped, so that the weight of his words can shine. It is a refreshing break of the energy -rich party jams and offers listeners a little more reflective without losing the melodic border that defines its style.

Mayor Comes in swing “Reason 2 Japa,” A song that records a national vote without losing the Groove. The word ‘Japa’, now widely used among Nigerian youth, refers to the fleeing of the country in search of greener meadows. In this track, Mayorkun explains a laundry list of frustrations of economic hardships to political instability but he supplies it all wrapped in a bouncy castle, main nodding with producer of producer BMH.
However, the magic is in the juxtaposition: serious subject with catchy melodies and humor. “If I get worse, I turn to Citizen of Canada” He sings, tongue-in-cheek but touches home. It is this balance act between message and music that makes “Reason 2 Japa” Not only a BOP but a social record that resonates with today’s youth.

Zinolesky brings heat and rhythm “Most desired,” His first single of the year and a daring reintroduction.

He does not stop textually –“Most Wanted” is a self -assured proclamation of status, blessings and untouchability. “She I can’t touch myself, I am anointed, “ He sings with conviction and delivers every line as a mission statement.
What makes this track unique is the perfect mix of street credibility and spiritual elements. ZINO has always run that fine line between Lagos Grit and heavenly introspection, and “Most Wanted” is the perfect embodiment of that duality. It is a national anthem for everyone who has to deal with doubt and, on the other hand, comes stronger.
