Shaybilly has started the new year on a high. With the new single, "4 Meter", released Saturday, 4 January 2025, he's on a mission to become an Afrobeats rockstar. Coming out all guns blazing with the sonically compelling two-minute, fifty-two-second Amapiano single that will get everyone dancing all night reveals his plan to lay down a marker as one of Afrobeats top dogs to look out for this year.

Produced by Vikwynbeat and published by Byvance, Shaybilly was spot-on lyrically. "I was done compiling songs for my forthcoming album, but when Vikwynbeat previews the beat to this song, it is irresistible. From the moment I heard it, I had the inspiration for the lyrics. The message was about being relentless despite any hardship or obstacles. Honestly, the recording process was fun and fulfilling." - Shaybilly

Christened Seun Oyedokun, a native of Oyo State, ShayBilly is a seasoned singer, songwriter, and producer who's been making waves in the music world for years. His journey began as the lead singer of a boy band, where he honed his craft and built a foundation in performance. Transforming into a solo artist, he's experimenting with blending several genres and breaking new ground, and his career is on an upward trajectory.

"Throughout my career, I've been fortunate enough to perform on stages big and small, from local venues to larger festivals like the NEA Awards (USA), Calabar Music Festival (Nigeria), South Africa Club Tours, and London Venues. Each performance was an opportunity to connect with my audience across the globe. The single, “4 Meter”, off my forthcoming album, is another opportunity for connectivity with the audience." - Shaybilly

Rising from the heartbeat of Lagos streets, Troms is not just another artist; he’s the pulse of a new generation. Blending groovy and ominous vibes with introspective rhythms, the
bubbly sensation offers his latest single, Starlight—a mid-tempo Afrobeats tune that peels back the layers of romance, exploring its thrills, complications, and subtle nuances.

On Starlight, Troms delivers an intricate weave of lush percussions and gentle guitar riffs,
crafting a track that transcends typical Afrobeats. It’s a tale of connection and vulnerability, where Troms’ lyricism shines, as his vocals glides through effortlessly, pulling listeners into the warmth of a late-night conversation between lovers under the Lagos night sky.

Starlight pulses with a fresh, magnetic sound that sits on the edge of Afrobeats, yet refuses to be boxed in. Troms fuses traditional rhythms with a forward-thinking approach, making the track as introspective as it is catchy.

At 23, Troms, whose real name is Raheem Moses Oluwaseun, is already carving out a space in music that many spend a lifetime trying to define. Hailing from the bustling streets of
Lagos, Troms grew up immersed in a family obsessed with music and entertainment. His
early days were filled with school and church performances, but by 2020, Troms had locked in his sights on the world stage.

Buckle up. Africa’s got a new anthem, and it’s called "META"—a rhythmic bombshell that’s set to leave seismic waves on the global music scene. Featuring three of the continent’s finest—Nigeria’s soulful Fireboy DML, South Africa’s electric Nomcebo Zikode, and Kenya’s rising powerhouse Sofiya Nzau—this track is more than a song; it’s a mission.

So, what’s "META"? Think Afrobeat meets R&B, with a pulse of deep-rooted African rhythms—spun together into a sound that embodies modern Africa in all its unapologetic glory. It’s a love letter to the continent, told through a killer beat and lyrics that hint at the power of unity and music’s ability to break down borders. “META” stands for more than music; it’s the meeting point of three countries, three voices, and one shared heartbeat.

Here’s the lineup:
● Fireboy DML – Nigeria’s genre-defying voice with the power to turn a whisper into a tidal wave.
● Nomcebo Zikode – South Africa’s soulful siren, whose voice has echoed from Cape Town to Cairo.
● Sofiya Nzau – Kenya’s breakout star, serving up raw vocal talent with a style all her own.

The Sound of META: It’s traditional African soul with a modern twist, wrapped in cutting-edge production that gives it a pulse you can feel. And when the music video drops? Expect the sweeping landscapes of South Africa to meet a vision of Africa that’s both timeless and brand new.

Now, here’s the kicker—"META" is also your front-row ticket to the birth of 3 Step. It’s a genre that marries African roots with a contemporary kick. This isn’t just music; it’s the next wave, blending traditional African beats with a beat that commands you to move.

But wait—there’s more: The #METAChallenge invites fans worldwide to join the party. Just hit the beat, hit record, and show the world what "META" means to you. It’s a dance challenge, but it’s also a celebration of unity—a call to action to join the movement and embody the joy that "META" radiates.

Amirror's single “Run It”, off her 11-track “REFLXNS” EP featuring Akon, Nektunez, and Spotless, continues to gain traction and receive applause. With the momentum her music has quickly gained, she is on track for Afrobeats success. Released on 28 June 2024 through Akon's Konvict Kulture record label, the “REFLXNS” body of work is described by some music pundits as a unique musical sound reflective of Amirror's beauty and distinctiveness. The visual for “Run It” is compelling and makes it clear that Amirror means business.

As a native of West Virginia, Amirror has gone from karaoke sessions, soulful gatherings, talent shows, and festivals to riding the crest of the wave of emerging Afrobeats global stars. With an experienced and supportive management and PR team behind her, Amirror is taking flights and hitting the road, from America to Africa on her "REFLXNS" media tour. “I want to take my music to every corner of the world, connect with the locals, and introduce new audiences to my brand and sound", Amirror expressed when asked about the goals of her upcoming media tour.

Her album is composed of dynamic tracks “Far Away”, “Hypnotized”, “More Than That” with Akon, “Morocco” with Spotless, “Hero”, “Insane” ft. Nektunez, “Boujie”, “Fed Up”, “US”, “Tempt Me”, and the lead single “Run It”. "REFLXNS" is a fusion of R&B, Hip-hop, and Afrobeats. With her authentic use of African lingo and catchy lyrics that captivate listeners, Amirror exhibits the talents of an artist who isn't afraid to explore new heights with her sound. Musical legend Akon has described “REFLXNS” as, "an exciting, vibrant journey through Amirror's unique musical landscape.”

When asked to share more about “Run It”, Amirror stated, “When creating it, I was motivated by my desire to combine distinctive cultural elements of the diaspora into a catchy and memorable song. "Run It" was an opportunity to purposefully fuse the sounds and lingo I studied while in Africa into my music in an organic and fun manner. I made sure it sounded authentic and would connect with audiences. Honestly, I had so much fun recording that single."

The “Run It” music video displayed Africa's rich cultural tapestry. Amirror attributes her time living in Senegal as a significant source of inspiration when creating the vision for "Run It". "When I was in Dakar, Senegal, I explored the stunning sights of the country. I developed a deep appreciation for its scenic and cultural beauty. We used the "Run It" video as an opportunity to showcase that beauty and my experience while living there. I was motivated by my desire for my fanbase outside of Africa to experience the magnificence of Africa and Afrobeats through my music and visuals.”
