After releasing an ill all-female posse cut with members of her Str8Buttah Productions crew, Lagos-based artist Phlow goes solo and gets fired up in the video for her new single, “Str8 Up.”

Lyrically, she’s as sharp as ever, spitting slick lyrics centering on the concept of never settling and never slowing down as an artist. And she does it over a more minimalist and booming instrumental from frequent collaborator Teck-Zilla, who’s definitely showing off his versatility here, too. These two have a number of standout tracks together over the past few years, and they only seem to outdo each other with each subsequent release.

While Phlow’s lyrics absolutely drive the visuals for “Str8 Up,” there’s plenty to be said for the stellar work of the directorial crew, RCube Vision. They drop bits and pieces of her bars throughout the video by highlighting her particularly tough rhymes with animation, which is complemented by some serious dance moves. It all feels like a celebration of the global Hip-Hop culture we’re living in, and “Str8 Up” is one hell of an anthem for it.

Check out the visuals and stay on the lookout for more leaks and info on Phlow’s forthcoming LP, 'Flux,' due out later this year via Str8Buttah Productions.

Good Life '07

A moody influx of emotions comes to the time of seasonal depression and relationships on the other side of happiness. Kosha Dillz opens up about life issues and shows a more serious side with Alvarez kings from Sheffield, UK on the hook.  The song was inspired by the "other side of sadness" by AK, and the two groups met on tour in 2015 via the Vans Warped Tour. After living together for two months and seeing each other play 40+ times, the collaboration on emotional healing was inevitable.

lyrics:

[verse 1]
starting on a new page feels better every time 
a flip as simple as waking up next to you
these thoughts i’ll escape them
i got new tennis shoes
shouldn’t be more than a year or two

[prechorus]
is it bad that i feel misunderstood
or bad that i’m under you
i’m trapped beneath all the yeses i keep on giving
is it bad that i don’t wanna lose 
or bad that it’s always you 
i’m losing all my days but i still keep
on going 

[chorus]
my mind is split up in two 
about you now
and i don’t know how to feel
but i won’t run 
my mind is split up into two 
about you now
about you 


[verse 2]
all my weekends feel the same 
i guess it feels nice 
consistently consistent
something that we didn’t
consider was time

[prechorus]

[chorus]

[bridge]

can you leave the window open so i can get inside of your head now

MAKA : “Precious Stone” 
Lagos based soul singer Maka is back in the forefront with her first single for the year entitled “Precious Stone”. The record is a passionate tribute to all mothers who regardless of the challenges they face still pull through to give their children the life they richly deserve. Inspired by Maka’s own mother whose name Ojiugo means Precious Stone in the Igbo language. Over a reflective horn-driven backdrop, Maka delivers a rousing performance that starts off mellow and rises to a crescendo as she reaches deep into her emotions. She talks about her childhood in a single parent home (she lost her dad at a very young age), the ups and downs but most importantly how her mother has continued to support her dream regardless of all the challenges they face. 
“Precious Stone” was produced by Producer/DJ Teck-Zilla of Str8Buttah Productions.

Lyrics
I ask myself a lotta times why I haven't done a love song for you, mama
It's been running through my mind, I guess I let my hustle take my time, mama
I'm sorry that I took this long, but I'm here now
And I'm singing this song
I'm sorry that I don't say this enough, but I don't take you for granted, mama
You're my world

Hey mama, beautiful woman
Inside and out, nobody fit doubt
Say you're precious
I should get you a precious stone
Diamond, platinum, silver and gold

Nne m o, ezeigbo nne m o

Gekwanti ka m koro gi ihie nne mere n'uwa
Oru oma o ruru n'uwa, nne m oma
O g'eteta n'ura, run into my room
To check if I'm alright, so many sleepless nights
O g'ejide m aka, o na nyere m aka
No she won't think twice, she would give her life 

Hey mama, beautiful woman
Inside and out, nobody fit doubt
Say you're precious
I should get you a precious stone
Diamond, platinum, silver and gold

Hey mama, beautiful woman
Inside and out, nobody fit doubt
Say you're precious
I should get you a precious stone
Diamond, platinum, silver and gold

Nne m o, ezeigbo nne m o (4x)

Hey mama, beautiful woman
Inside and out, nobody fit doubt
Say you're precious
I should get you a precious stone
Diamond, platinum, silver and gold
