Chike taps Ace Nigerian singer-songwriter Flavour for this sublime tune titled ‘Hard To Find,’ produced by Deeyaasobeatz and Masterkraft.
Omah Lay – Never Forget
The debut album by Omah Lay is a wonderful collection of songs. Though the Nigerian Afro-fusion artist is a great songwriter, as seen by his several chart-topping songs, collaborations, and pair of EPs released in 2020—Get Layd and What Have We Done—it remained to be seen if he could sustain this success over the course of an entire album.
