Nigerian-Ghanaian Afrobeat artist, Akeju, has created a buzz with his new single ‘Kiss and Tell’ which has been well received globally. To continue the momentum, Akeju has collaborated with Beenie Man, the Jamaican Grammy award-winning artist, also popularly known as the “King of Dancehall”, on the remix of Kiss and Tell.
The remix was premiered on Sunday, April 1, 2018 on New York’s #1 hip hop station Power 105.1 FM by the “da reggae Don” DJ Norie. It will release on Monday, April 2, 2018.
Kiss and Tell is a story many people can relate to. You hang out either with friends at a local party or you become attracted to someone while on vacation. The expectation is to enjoy the time with this person, but don’t kiss and tell.
