With his return to the stage highly anticipated this summer, expect another crowning moment with the audience singing along to every word, as the feel-good party king dishes up all his hits like ‘Fall’, ‘If’ and ‘Skelewu’.

Always fearless and thought-provoking, Simz has been collecting accolade after accolade in recent years and next up is another moment to savour as she makes her Afro Nation debut.

“We are excited to welcome Wizkid, Davido, Little Simz, Popcaan, Focalistic and more to Afro Nation Portugal 2023,” said Afro Nation Portugal organisers. “These artists represent the very best of African music and culture, and we can’t wait to see them perform on our beautiful beach stage. With so many incredible acts on the lineup, this is shaping up to be the summer’s most unmissable party, and our best festival yet.”

The 2-day debut will see Burna BoyWizkidRemaAsakeBeenie Man and more landing in the Sunshine State of Florida between 27th – 28th May, for Afro Nation Miami 2023.

HM EyeJah Set To Drop His New Afro-Dancehall Banger “Party Cyaan Over”

Ghana’s fast-rising Afro-Dancehall artist HM EyeJah is about to turn up the heat with his brand-new single, “Party Cyaan Over,” set for release on November 14, 2025. Produced by Fresh Mic Beat and powered by RiverJam Entertainment, the track promises to be a full-blown street anthem with irresistible vibes.

 

 

A Vibe That Never Ends

“Party Cyaan Over” is more than just a party jam — it’s an energy booster. The record blends Caribbean dancehall rhythms with Afrobeat’s vibrant groove, creating a feel-good sound that instantly moves the body. From the catchy hook “Party cyaan over, bare bad gyal ah bruk it out here” to the booming bass and dance-ready tempo, this song has everything to light up any dance floor — from Accra to Kingston.

HM EyeJah delivers his trademark confidence and positive energy, reminding listeners that music is meant to unite and celebrate life. It’s that kind of tune that doesn’t fade when the night ends — the type you hit replay on without thinking twice.

 

 

About HM EyeJah

Born Solomon Badasu Gbeve in Tema, Ghana, HM EyeJah represents the new wave of Afro-Dancehall music — authentic, spiritual, and full of heart. His stage name, HeroMade Eyes of Jah, reflects his deep faith and self-belief, inspired by Psalm 17:8: “Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.”

 

 

Currently based in Kpone-on-Sea in the Greater Accra Region, EyeJah draws from his surroundings — where Highlife, Reggae, and Afrobeat meet the streets — to craft a sound that feels both deeply Ghanaian and globally connected. Since debuting with “Takeover,” and following up with songs like “Vision,” “Balance Pon It,” and “Good Vibe,” he’s steadily built a loyal following that connects with his message of faith, perseverance, and unity.

 

 

His growing fanbase, known as SkulSyde, reflects a family of believers and dreamers — people who, like EyeJah, believe in striving for greatness no matter the odds.

 

 

The New Afro-Dancehall Wave

As one of the freshest voices bridging Ghana’s Afrobeat and Dancehall culture, HM EyeJah is helping define a new sound that’s proudly African yet universally appealing. His music carries the spirit of celebration, resilience, and togetherness — and “Party Cyaan Over” is a perfect example of that.

 

 

If you’re looking for the next song to turn up to, this is it. A track that says the fun never stops, the spirit never dies, and the rhythm keeps flowing.

 

Then you can’t definitely wait for the banger to drop

Cool JB & Inspiraystonner Deliver an Anthem of Hope with “Love in Sapa”

Rising Afro-fusion artist Cool JB teams up once again with multi-talented songwriter Inspiraystonner for “Love in Sapa,” a heartfelt fusion of Afro-soul, Yoruba rhythm, and street emotion that captures the struggles and resilience of today’s youth — those balancing love, hustle, and hope amid life’s toughest realities.

“Love in Sapa” isn’t just a song — it’s a testimony of survival, faith, and emotional endurance. The record blends Yoruba wisdom, Pidgin grit, and subtle Arabic expressions like khalas (finished), fulus (money), and mayya (water) to paint a vivid picture of love tested by hardship and redeemed by divine grace.

Anchored by Cool JB’s smooth, prayer-like hook — “Ka wọle — let’s make it home” — and Inspiraystonner’s introspective verse on perseverance and purpose, the song bridges spirituality and reality. The recurring chant, “Baba n da gbe — God is lifting us,” echoes as a mantra of faith, reminding listeners that even in scarcity, there’s always divine upliftment.

“We wanted to speak for every dreamer going through sapa — those who love, believe, and still grind,” says Cool JB. “It’s a message of hope — that even when you’re broke, God’s blessings no fit khalas (finished),” adds Inspiraystonner.

Following their previous collaboration “Family Matter,” the duo continues to prove their creative chemistry and depth, blending street poetry with soul and purpose.

Released on October 21, 2025, “Love in Sapa” stands as a defining anthem for the Afro-fusion generation, offering rhythm, reflection, and reassurance that faith and love can still flourish even in the hardest seasons.
