King Iced is set to premiere a deeply emotional single, “Feelings”, on June 27, 2025, in collaboration with rising artist YUGOSZN. This pairing is generating buzz—YUGOSZN brings velvety vocals, while King Iced delivers his genre-fluid production finesse and Afro-R&B lyricism.

Listening to previews, the track delves into themes of vulnerability and emotional honesty. RollingHype notes it “taps into raw emotion” and highlights the matching fusion of artistic voices from Lagos to the world stage.

Across interviews and local coverage, both artists are frequently described as self-made artists, balancing songwriting, beats, and production duties. Rather than relying heavily on studios, they both take a hands‑on approach, crafting their sound from recording through mix and master.

With both artists having roots in Festac Town—an area known for artistic vibrancy—the echo is in the music, which reflects both local flavour and global texture. That duality shapes their identity as independent artists with international reach.
