From recently setting the FIFA World Cup fan fest stage ablaze with his electrifying performance, African superstar, Patoranking continues to break boundaries with his ever-evolving sound and is set to release a new track and video titled ‘Abobi’ on Friday 17 February 2023 via The Orchard.
“Rumuokoro don catch fire,” Patoranking solemnly laments in the opening line of Abobi; a powerful record which sheds light on the aftershocks of police brutality on both himself and the community as Abobi, which is a street slang for friend in Port Harcourt. He sings it back to Lagos with “Ikorodu don catch fire”, as a point of contact to the further social disruptions in the land that has cost innocent lives. The song is very personal as Abobi can be any of us.
Abobi which is written by Patoranking and produced by Kel P is the second single off his upcoming album, an ode to the city of Port Harcourt in Nigeria, though generally impacting the country. It serves as an open range which pleads for urgency as its impact will be continued to be felt by many for generations to come. Listen, Enjoy and Share.

Currently based in the United States of America, Em’Buu pays homage to his roots – Bolgatanga.
The project has no features and has Em’Buu display his lyrical prowess across the album.
Bolga Boy consists of eight songs; The album kicks off with Good Day, On God, Bolgatanga, Open the centre, FLETCHA, Well Done, Nobody, and Kposaa.
Production credits for the album go to Ransom (Kposaa & Well Done), Aymix Beats (Fletcha & Nobody), and Em’Buu himself (Bolgatanga, Good Day, On God, & Open the centre).
On his inspiration for the album, Em’Buu credited fellow artist Black Sherif.
“I was greatly inspired by Black Sheriff and his unabashed and relentless Passion. I’ve done music since Junior High but I was never truly inspired to work hard and express myself fully until he came to the scene.”

“For me, it was to showcase a different kind of sound that combined all of my cultural backgrounds. I’m a kid from Bolga who was raised partly in Accra and went to high school in Kumasi. Then ended up in Germany, moved to the states and served in the Air Force on active duty. That’s a vast tapestry to pull from,” He shared.

A feel-good, sexy love song, “More of You’s” lyrical tenderness comes with a message of longing and desire. Aimed towards his homebrewed ladies, the song is soulful, yet uplifting making it perfect dancehall track for hot nights on the dancefloor. Stonebwoy always brings the love back to Africa and “More of You” remains true to his belief in lighting up his Ghanaian roots, with rhythm, beat and lyrics.
After the success of his debut single “Therapy” and follow-up of “Gidigba,” Stonebwoy has been relentlessly touring the globe, headlining festivals and selling out stadiums, whilst working with established international producers. He recently became the first Ghanaian artist to hit 100 million streams on the Audiomack platform. Continuously trailblazing through the world of

Iconic in musical stature, Stonebwoy has raked in no less than 45 different types of awards for his outstanding contribution to the industry, and continues to break new ground with every single, movie or video release. With the status of BHIM (Bless His Imperial Majesty) coined by his ardent supporters, Stonebwoy keeps returning the love straight back to his fans and praising above all, God, for his catapult to fame. Talented, humble and gifted with a flawless work ethic, whether he’s headlining a stadium on international shores or singing a stripped down, unplugged set for an intimate TV performance, Stonebwoy has the world in the palm of his hand every time he sings.

It is true that most African artistes are focusing on party songs and love songs in recent times, but it is also true that not everyone is going that way.
Omo Marani is one of the few Afrobeats Artistes going a different way; he is focused on preaching sanity, positive lifestyle to the youth through the power of music and encouraging them to strive harder to be better fellows for themselves and society.
He shares a latest single he titles “Work”. A Afrobeats jam with a amapiano twist produced by Jaywatz.
“Work” — in the song, Omo Marani reminds the youth, especially the struggling ones from the slums not to forget to put their minds and muscle to their hustle and make ends meet.
“It is good to celebrate. It is good to be happy. It is good to chill, party and have fun, but we as youths should not forget to work harder and smarter too. Without the work we got nothing to live on for tomorrow so we should not forget all that”, Omo Marani told BeenieWords.com in an interview.
Omo Marani is a Ghanaian cum Nigerian Afrobeats Artiste honing his career in Ghana. He is the lead face of Collin Wud, a Ghanaian Entertainment Company based in Accra. He is a young talent who strives hard to put on other talents like Mediq Mane, Corzzy Blaque, Yaadu, just to name a few.
