Your favorite journalist’s favorite storyteller is back! I apologize for my lack of articles, but I most certainly needed a break from writing. This was actually the very first time in a whopping 10 years that I’ve taken an entire month off from creating content. It’s truly important to have your spirit, mind and body aligned and that’s exactly what I did during my rest period.

Speaking of time away, rising British spitter Dave released a bangin’ tune that perfectly compliments an enjoyable getaway in the form of, “Location.” Found on his debut studio album Psychodrama, the UK platinum single, featuring the African Giant himself Burna Boy, is co-produced by Fraser T. Smith, Jae5 and Dave.

The video for “Location,” was aptly shot abroad in Ibiza and displays BTS footage of Stormzy’s #MERKY festival, which was co-headlined by Stormzy, Dave and Fredo. Burna Boy appears in the clip, alongside a slew of cameos including British funnyman Michael Dapaah and beautiful songstress Jorja Smith (jheez).

Check out the festive, Kaylum and Dave-directed visual below:

Ye

May 21, 2019 by Frendy Lemorin in Music

Bap, Bap! Call me late and what have you, I don’t give a sh!t because this Burna Boy banger is way too fire for me to not write about.

Simply titled “Ye,” (don’t worry, it has nothing to do with Mr. West), the genre-bending jam is from the Nigerian superstar’s third studio album, Outside.  It was coined as the biggest song of 2018 by many prestigious Nigerian publications and the honor alone eventually led him to become the country’s biggest artist of that same year. "Ye is a song that essentially shows the unrelenting nature of Nigerians (where I’m from). We thrive despite the leadership and circumstances,” writes Burna Boy in an email to The Fader describing his hit Afro-fusion chune. “Everyone has big dreams that logically may or may not be achieved; Aspiring to have a Bentley, G-wagon regardless of their current situation. ‘I can’t come and kill myself’ is an expression that means, you can’t dwell on things that aren’t working out or looking good, you only have one life after all.”

Not only does “Ye” slaps, it’s also inspirational! Check out the song’s ballerific visual below:
