Abuja-based music minister, Nsikan Louis debuts with a brand new sound title ‘MERCY’.
The single is a simple contemporary gospel song written in English and Ibibio dialects. Though a prayer, “MERCY” by Nsikan Louis comes with a danceable rhythm.
In Isaiah 43:26, the Word says, “Put me in remembrance….”
When God said to remind Him of His word, it is not to imply that the Creator of the Universe forgets. NO! He never forgets. To remind God is to express dependency and trust. It symbolizes the willingness to surrender fully to doing God’s will. God is never slack concerning His promises.
The hope is that MERCY will minister to every heart yearning for divine intervention and draw them closer to God.
Waiting for a change can seem so long,
If God will not give grace, we will faint,
So we pray, for our miracle to come,
Show us your mercy as we wait on you.
Renew our strength,
Rekindle our hope,
May our dreams no longer delay.
Let your favor, surround us like a shield,
Show us your mercy as we wait on you.
Chorus:
We have waited, We have prayed
We have wondered, Will God ever hear us?
We’ve been mocked, we have been shamed,
Show us your mercy as we wait on you.
Ibiobio language:
Jehovah, andibot enyong y’isong
Obong uwem ooo
Tua nnyin mbom
Edidem mme ndidem, imedi k’iso afo,
Ete ima ooooo
Tua nnyin mbom,
Kuyak ekondo esak ooo, kuyak ebub nnyin,

Jehovah…..Tua nnyin mbo ooooom!!
Ad-lib
Ooooh ooooh, Lord remember your word unto us
Just like Sarah, Just like Daniel
We wait on you, Lord we trust in you!
Agunechemba, You are a mighty God
Kabiyesi ooo, we bow before you Lord
Fast rising artiste, Nerry drops Extraordinerry, an EP for lovers and hustlers.
“Extraordinerry” is a vibe- filled Afro/Afrobeats/Afrotrap EP by fast rising artist, Nerry, signed to Sparks Global Entertainment record label.
Born Nerry Omoruyi Efosa, Nerry’s musical background dates as far back as his childhood days when he would perform the trending Awilo and Daddy Showkey’s songs to his family during Christmas parties.
His musical talent first caught the attention of his grandma who was a deaconess in a church. On noticing his love for music, she supported him to join the church choir where he laid the foundation of his now budding career. It was more than a coincidence that he became housemates with his friend, a producer named Crispy who also inspired him to step out of his shell and show the world his talents.
The Lagos/ Accra based star is inspired by international artistes like Jay-Z, Wiz Khalifa, J Cole and legendary Bob Marley. He also draws inspiration from notable Nigerian musical veterans such as Victor Nwaifo, 2 face, M.I and Asa. He believes that this EP will not only meet the expectations of his already growing fanbase but also introduce his unique sound to a new audience.
Extraordinerry, is a fusion of Afrobeats, Afropop and Afrotrap, and is inspired by Nerry’s love for music and the zeal to showcase his unique sound. Every song on the EP is inspired by love, relationships and his passion for making money. Nerry considers the EP the brain- child of his months of hard work and sleepless nights.
See Tracklist
“For My Head”, “I like Woman” and “Nobody” are songs on the EP that tells the story of emotional connection and promises of true love. “Get It Today” and “On A Low“, on the other hand, would motivate any hustler to stay focused and never sleep on the grind.
In the process of creating the sounds in the EP, he recorded everyday for several months, and ended up creating more songs that his management had to make a strategic decision to decide what songs will make the EP.
When he’s not making dynamic music that’s melodic, soothing and easy to vibe to, he’s running a farm and investing in real estates and properties.
Extraordinerry EP will be available on all digital platforms. Stream/Buy HERE.

Khoje is an audacious all round entertainer, who has worked her way to prominence and truly deserves all the recognition she gets today. She has proven herself as a versatile artiste who will stand the test of time and will do exceptionally well in any genre, whether pop music, hiphop, RnB or any other sound there is. Beyond any doubt Khoje is the artist to look out for in the coming days.
Khoje is set to release her 5 track debut E.P titled ‘3rd Kulture Kid’, a body of work that showcases Khoje as the multi-talented artiste that she is. The E.P reveals Khoje the unrestrained expression of herself and her refusal to settle for less or ride on the wings of mediocrity.
She shared thoughts on a lot of the challenges we battle in society and stressed the need to be happy and be unbothered with the things that she really cares about. On the E.P, she made only one collaboration and she couldn’t have gotten a better collabo-buddy than the World President himself, Zlatan.

Not delivered in melancholic fashion however, but one that bares its message with a strong penchant for pleading the notions of feeling good vibes anytime the opportunity arises. This of course doesn’t go without some bragging rights and real life questions upon experiences.

Seeing out a four-year long recess from the music scene, collocating with a name change, the past nine years has seen Adé Wave (formerly known as Chuckie) create awe-inspiring musical content alongside stage shows with unbelievable feats of greatness; with guest appearances on HotNewHipHop’s Brooklyn-born and Staten Island’s raised Brave’s “Pop Bottles” single, to featuring The Zone Agency/Tinny Entertainment’s very own Dapo Tuburna, the words phenomenal, amazing, surprising and astounding, would be only some of the few to truly describe the natural ability and raw talent of the bloke whose high velocity and lively stage show births nothing short of widely appealing and downright awesomeness.
With an unprecedented extended play on the way, Adé Wave loftily and majestically presents a single off the project in a bid to see himself back on the music scene; titled “Pray,” with production credits going to Bakery Beats, this offering highlights the beingness of everyone looking on to God for a transfiguration in a bid to better their finances, or just to live a ‘good life’ whilst maximizing their potentials even with the world looking down upon them.
“Pray” also would be the lead single off his new project, “The Lost Tape (TLT),” an overdue project born as a concept from years of music making.
The Nigerian-born, and now Missouri-based recording act is set to symbolize African music deep into the Midwestern region of the United States where musical memories run deep and where it’s musicians have not just influenced the musical tapestry within, but in many ways, have woven it – seeing himself in a light which shows growth amidst challenges and accomplishments, Adé Wave is set to give benediction to music lovers and fans as he won’t let go of his irrational motive and passion for music – being one who’s seen the world from both sides, he’s euphoric in his heart’s content to share his new sounds as would be witnessed on “The Lost Tape” as he embarks on a new musical campaign with “Pray.”

Big Wiz has incurred the wrath of social media users.
This time, they are ripping Wizkid for always celebrating his ‘favourite’ son, Zion birthdays in an extra special way.
Yesterday, Zion turned 4 and Wizkid took time out of his busy schedule to celebrate him and shower him with gifts. Big Wiz and his baby mama, Jada took the toddler to Disneyland.
As expected, his extra show of affection earned him backlash from Netizens. They commented that Big Wiz is always going out of the way to show the world that he cares more about Zion than his other sons, Boluwatife and Ayo.
They recounted how Wizkid missed his first son, Bolu’s birthday 10 times in a row and the sarcastic reply he gave Shola when she tweeted about it.
Others are of the opinion that Wizkid loves his sons equally and it might appear that he loves Zion more because they are always together.
Alte singer, Tems has provided a solution to the problem many might not know they have- Ungratefulness.
The Essence star took to her IG story to comment on how Gratitude is the most important thing to her. According to Tems, gratitude is the most underrated word in history, but it surprisingly helped her in achieving a lot with Wizkid.
She asserts that Gratitude is a key that opens all the doors to success and anyone can see how it helped her in the music business. In her words, “it is the lens, it’s everything”.
Nigerian rapper, Olamide has revealed that he is a money-making heartbreaking machine.
The Rock crooner made the revelation after a fan insulated that someone must have broken his heart after a love quote he posted on Twitter.
In the early hour of Friday morning, Baddo took to his Twitter handle to air his view on how people always look for love from other people instead of themselves. He lamented that it is always a shame to see such when the individual can always find the love he/she needs from within.
His quote must have woken the heartbroken tweeps, because Chima replied with this: “Nabreakfast quote be this, them dem serve baba hot breakfast”.
Olamide replied with this: “Ki lo fin share bi omo snake yii? I break hearts for a living”.
BBNaija stars, Liquorose and Emmanuel have come under fire for their outfits at the Tecno party.
The power couple caused a stir at the event last night and social media users are still talking about their looks.

As for Liqourose she obviously got her inspiration from Rihanna’s 2015 Met Gala. Liquor wore a see-through gown and paired it up with black panties. #Emmarose shippers have taken to their social media to warn the duo never to repeat such a fashion disaster again. They have advised them to calm down with the quest for fame or they will pitch their tents somewhere else.
Anti fans didn’t let Liquorose slay in peace. They left comments that linked her choice of an outfit to that of Angel’s in the house. They wrote that if it were to be Angel that rocked the see-through gown that the internet won’t let her rest.
MAYORKUN DROPS HOTLY-ANTICIPATED SOPHOMORE ALBUM BACK IN OFFICE.
Amidst high anticipation and excitement from fans and the general music community, self-acclaimed Mayor of Lagos, Mayorkun unveils his long-awaited second studio album titled “Back In Office“, released via Sony Music Entertainment / Columbia Records UK and available now on digital stores.

Released to coincide with the Nigerian independence month, Back In Office follows on from his 2018 debut album The Mayor Of Lagos and sees Mayorkun continue with the mayoral theme as he re-enters a new term as mayor of his hometown.
Back In Office is a twelve-track LP featuring both his 2021 singles. The first of which is the title track that showcases his trademark vibrant Afrobeats sound with an amapiano twist, alongside August single ‘Let Me Know’, a smooth and earnest dose of Afrobeats with romance at its heart.
The rest of the record is characterised by a number of notable collaborations, including ‘Desire’, a sunkissed jam featuring the seductive autotune vocals of Ghanaian songbird Gyakie. Nigerian rapper Victony also delivers a slick verse on the vibrant ‘Holy Father’, singer-songwriter Flavour N’abania lends his intricate vocals to the delicate ‘Feel Am’, while South African record producer, DJ and vocalist DJ Maphorisa lends his production skills to the amapiano-infused ‘Jay Jay’. Closing things out, the sax-driven ‘Oluwa’ ensures Back In Office ends on a suitably sensual note.
CREDITS
Having amassed over 200 million streams and back-to-back #1 singles in Nigeria last year, Mayorkun burst onto the scene with a chart-topping debut solo single ‘Eleko’ in 2016, and has emerged as one of the most exciting artists from Lagos in recent times. He has since dropped a number of further hits including ‘Mama’, ‘Che Che’, ‘Bobo’ featuring Davido, ‘Up To Something’, ‘Geng’ and ‘Of Lagos’, also drawing support from the likes of Complex UK, Okay Africa and GRM Daily, as well as performing at some of the biggest concerts like Wireless, Macufe and Afro Nation, which he’s set to perform at the Puerto Rico addition in March of next year.
