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.

Inspired by being selected as the official deejay for this year’s Red Bull-sponsored “Battle of the Year” competition in Nigeria for breakdancers, producer Teck-Zilla delivers his neck-snapping and straight-up addictive new EP, ‘B-Boy Zilla,’ inspired by famed Florida turntablist, DJ Chief.

The seven-track project is absolutely brimming with breaks for the b-boys and b-girls, some of whom have already shown off their talents to tracks on here as part of the competition. The Nigerian-born deejay/producer was tasked with coming up with sounds that blended Afro and EDM elements and, suffice to say, he absolutely nailed it.

You can hear this in the high-energy sounds of “Mtoto B-Boy,” which flips Victoria Kimani’s “Mtoto,” and “Skelewu B-Boys,” which injects even more flavor into Davido’s original “Skelewu.” Teck also shows off his talents by taking on two classic joints from different eras (“Nothing But JB B-Boys” and “Sound of the Beast”) that are pure hip-hop Easter eggs.

“I already had a vast collection of break beats so it was pretty much a case of searching through my archives and also doing some research on b-boy music,” Teck says, adding that he completed most of ‘B-Boy Zilla’ the night before taking the decks at the Red Bull event.

B-boy or not, it’s impossible to not feel the good vibes emanating from these seven tracks. And hey, who knows, maybe it’ll inspire your inner breakdancer—if not, you’re bound to move in some way to ‘B-Boy Zilla.’ Teck-Zilla’s latest effort is now available for stream for your listening pleasure via SoundCloud and Audiomack…enjoy!
