Mavin Records act, Johnny Drille, has released a 6-track EP titled Home. On this EP is Lover, a wonderfully produced song featuring indigenous rapper Phyno.

Phyno bringing his sound to this song adds an extra element we definitely didn’t know we needed.
#4. Bella Shmurda ft. Simi – Loose It
Bella Shmurda has always been a remarkable street-hop singer. It is no surprise that Afropop singer and vocal powerhouse, Simi, hopped on Loose It with him. Loose It is the fourth song on Bella’s newly released third studio album, Hypertension, which houses 15 songs, including the Niphkeys-produced song. Simi’s verse added a much-needed softness and duality to the song, which balances out Bella’s musical style.
