Maka - "Mu Na Gi (You &amp; I)" 
WATCH VIDEO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T4wmBSF77A
When done properly, a performance-driven music video can inspire many things in a listener, such as providing a vision of how the artist actually performs in concert, or adding deeper emotional weight to a song’s narrative. The latter is particularly evident in this new video from Maka, whose heartfelt “Mu Na Gi (You &amp; I)” becomes transcendent through director Rcube Vision’s lens.

That is to say, be prepared for Maka’s stirring single to immediately hit you in the gut upon seeing these visuals. It’s not that Rcube utilizes any checks emotionally manipulative tricks, it’s simply that you’re getting more from the song as the singer and her lyrics become the video’s focal point. 

Speaking of the track itself, it boasts Maka floating gracefully over the ill production of Teck-Zilla, whose sample flip may have some Hip-Hop heads reaching for Cru’s classic debut single, “Just Another Case.” He makes it his own here, however, and certainly the same can be said for Maka and the stunning “Mu Na Gi.”

Lagos

For her first single of the year, soulful singer/songwriter Maka delivers a beautifully hypnotizing new track, “Sinner.” The track features her fellow Lagosian artist Boogey, with production supplied by the  Nigerian-born beatsmith, Teck-Zilla.

All parties involved are at the top of their respective games here as Maka guides the tune with her stunning vocals and relatable lyricism. When she sings, “This thing called life, is not black and white/ I am just a human, tryin’ to do what’s right,” you can feel the pain and contemplation in her voice, and it’s an emotion so many of us have felt in our lives. 

To that point, Maka says of the track: “Like most of my songs, I want to write about something everyone could relate to. ‘Sinner’ talks about the vulnerability of humans and how imperfect we are.”

“I had always wanted to put that in a song so when Teck played the beat, I knew that was the right track for the concept," she adds, noting the uplifting production from Teck-Zilla. Boogey captured the concept perfectly as well. His vivid rhymes are quirky, yet full of reflection, as he too struggles with trying to be perfect while seeking redemption.

“Sinner” is now available for stream and download through all major digital retailers, courtesy of Str8Buttah Productions.

Nigerian Soul Singer, Maka has done what many singers in her field would be hesitant to do - cover a rap song.
On Jay-Z's very controversial song off his 4:44 album, "The Story Of OJ", Maka interpretes the song in her own way with the title, "Boxed In".
She talks about black pride and the need to change the usual narrative of the way her people are being viewed around the world. She also encourages every person, male or female, creative or not, to use every unique talent or gift bestowed on them as a means to positively impact their immediate societies.

What if you met "The One" just before Christmas? Wouldn't that be the best present ever? That's what Maka's song is about. Meeting the person she sees to be The One just in time for Christmas. She fantasizes about the fun things they would do together over the holidays while at the same time hoping it wouldn't just be a holiday fling.

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

Maka - Waiting For You

This was song inspired by the situation going on in my country, Nigeria. It speaks the mind of someone is done with the harshness of living in Nigeria and just wants to move. However as the song goes on, finds an inner strength to keep moving, if for nothing, for the sake of the lives lost in the battle against the Nigerian government for a Better Nigeria.

This acappella is backed up by vocals from the self acclaimed Acapellizer, MonLee. Giving this song the emotion it deserves.
