Horace Andy - Away With The Gun And Knife

Nilotika Cultural Ensemble is a Nyabingi band from the source of the Nile in Uganda. They use traditional instruments and the full ensemble of around 15 people, including friends and family. Their music can be described as drum-heavy African Nyabingi and Baganda music that fuses traditional melodies and rhythms with Hip Hop and Reggae.

The song “Ghetto People” is about the hardship of growing up in the ghettos of Kampala and trying to find a way out without becoming a criminal. Positive music, a network of creative people and the spirituality of the Nyabingi Rastafari movement is the key to a better life.

The track features a career-topping melodic performance in Luganda and English from renowned Hip Hop artist Spyda MC, accompanied by the massive percussion and drum sounds of the Nilotika band. Spyda has toured Europe and East Africa both as an artist in his own right and with Nilotika’s offshoot band “Nihiloxica”, who have received rave
reviews from Pitchfork, Wired magazine, Mixmag, etc.

German production duo Ancient Astronauts add some groovy remix treatment to “Ghetto People” in their trademark Boom Dub style to underline the message and melody of this beautiful song.

Nana McLean - Till I Kiss You

Every morning feels the same,
Rushing just to chase the day.
Heartbeat racing in the noise,
But silence never goes away.

But what if we slowed down tonight?
What if we just let things be right?

Give me one more minute
Just to breathe and feel alive.
One more moment in it,
Where the world is on our side.
If the lights stop shining,
Hold my hand and we’ll be fine—
‘Cause all we really need
Is one more minute of our lives.

People smile but hide the truth,
Carrying their quiet wounds.
Dreams get heavy when we wait,
But hope is never truly late.

So what if we just stay tonight?
What if everything’s alright?

Give me one more minute
Just to breathe and feel alive.
One more moment in it,
Where the world is on our side.
If the lights stop shining,
Hold my hand and we’ll be fine—
‘Cause all we really need
Is one more minute of our lives.

We’re all running from the shadows,
Trying not to come undone.
But every heartbeat has a story,
And every story needs someone.

Give me one more minute
Just to breathe and feel alive.
One more moment in it,
Where the world is on our side.
Time keeps on spinning,
But with you it feels divine—
So stay with me and share
One more minute in our lives.


“One More Minute” is a heartfelt acoustic pop ballad about holding on to the last moments of a love that still matters.
With warm male vocals, emotional storytelling, and intimate finger-picked guitar, the song captures the quiet ache of wanting just a little more time before everything changes.

It’s soft, vulnerable, romantic — the kind of track that feels like a late-night confession.
“Just one more minute… stay.”
A simple request loaded with emotion.

Perfect for lovers of chill acoustic music, emotional pop ballads, breakup moments, and deep-feeling playlists.

One More Minute

Profoundly solemn, reverent, and resolute. It is a respectful and heartbreaking tribute "honoring a fallen hero," capturing the tragedy of the battlefield and the dignified, sacred honor of the "final march". This is a "Cinematic Modern-Alt-Country Fusion" ballad. It is a powerful, narrative-driven song that builds dynamically, beginning with a stark, "heartbeat" pulse from deep floor toms and swelling into a massive, anthemic climax. The lead vocal is the central storyteller, delivered with a "steady, mild-country grit" in the verses. In the choruses, the style pointedly shifts to a rhythmic, declared "Military Boot Camp Style Cadence".
