  • Watch Nigeria’s FirstKlaz perform ‘Gen-Z Faaji’ featuring Joeboy with a live band

    Two days ago, the Abuja, Nigeria-based studio Alien Prose released performance footage of the young rising star FirstKlaz’s duet with fellow Nigerian artist Joeboy. In the video, the artist dances, wearing ripped blue jeans, a mustard hat that matches the tie he wore with a suit jacket, and tennis shoes. Watch the 4:44 video to hear how FirstKlaz sounds live, how he looks off Instagram, and most importantly, how his music moves him. It’s a Dancehall twist to the Afrobeats original.

    Last week, Nigerian Afrobeats star Joeboy released a danceable tune about the fear of being lonely, willing to be a zombie for her love, solely for the babe he plans to start a family with. Based on the heartfelt lyrics, the pair have been apart for a long time, and it seems like it wasn’t an easy adjustment. Stream the infectious Afrobeats jam putting male emotions on centre stage below. It is available now through Joeboy’s new imprint under Warner Music Africa: Young Legend.

    Drinking champagne until you get a migraine is crazy.

    Last week, Abuja’s rising star FirstKlaz shared a masterpiece follow-up to his breakout song ‘Gen-Z Fuji’ and its latter version featuring the husky-voiced talent Terry Apala. Approaching 60,000 streams on Spotify, the equally catchy, incredibly made saxophone and trumpet-laden jam is an exciting danceable number, incorporating elements of popular traditional Yoruba music (Fuji) to tell gleeful stories pegged with merrymaking in all aspects (drinking, eating, and sexual advances).

    As the hypnotic ‘Gen-Z Faaji’ begins, FirstKlaz invites his listeners to his party by signing over a composition with a melodic flow that feels like the one used on Asake’s ‘Lonely at the Top’. As the song continues, the gifted and talented artist flows in Yoruba amid layered featured female vocals, ushering a worship-esque layer that churchgoers have all come to love and appreciate. During Joeboy‘s verse, the ‘Contour’ singer helps FirstKlaz bring the concept together further with lyrics about the happiness deeply, present in his body, pocket-watchers (people who want to determine how and where he spends his money), and more. Listen to the MonsterSoundz-produced track sung in English and Yoruba below.
