Masterkraft was the producer behind Flavour’s Thankful album and has teamed up with Flavour and Sarkodie for his latest track Finally. The video is another slick afro pop visual from Clarence Peters.

Flavour x Sweetie
Flavour is probably the King of indigenous pop (or Highlife) in West Africa, he is also 1 of Kazabon’s favourite artists. He’s had many hits and collabs with the best out at the moment but doesn’t seem to get a lot of love. On Sweetie his new single, its more of the same and that’s great. This is a song we would nickname as Naija function music, as in it’s a song you would play at weddings, parties and other family gatherings. Enough of a nod to the old that your granny can vibe but savvy enough to cater for the kids.

Masterkraft x Egwu (Feat. Flavour)
No not those Canadians, afropop producer Masterkraft steps out from behind the mixing boards to team up with Flavour. It’s a storming summer track with great drums and and one hell of a catchy chorus. The video is filled with exotic animals (no idea why) and a great party scene. Man of the moment Wiz Kid gets involved as well with a little cameo. That guitar solo at the end is beautiful.

Flavour x Trace Urban
Man of the moment Flavour gets interviewed by African Music Channel Trace about his career so far. Just after the release of his third album its a great time to catch up with this unique artist. He talks about his upbringing in the church, singing outside of restaurants and his ability to blend High Life with other genres.

Flavour x Oyi (Feat. Tiwa Savage)
The man behind the second best dancehall album (IMO, Kingston story was the best) of last year is back with his latest visual and in fact remix of the OG. Flavour aka the king of high life is joined by one of Nigeria’s leading ladies Tiwa Savage on this sultry love song. One of the best things about naija pop is the humour in the lyrics, so god ahead and tell your loved one she is your “jellof rice oh”.
The video also resembles that ice part of Sean Paul Temperature video including the Willie Bounce dancing.
