Duncan's music career spans nearly two decades, beginning in the early 2000s in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, as a member of the infamous Tuck Tyght collective.
Daniels takes us back to his brief visits from Port Harcourt to Lagos in the mid-2000s to serve us 'Obalende,' the first single from his upcoming sixth studio album "Songs of Limitless Optimism - S.O.L.O," which will be released on August 12th, 2022.

4. Mxscot - Ghetto Love
Mxscot's self-titled EP takes us on a journey through the stories of a Lagos boy. In Ghetto Love, he talks about his neighbor with whom he wants to have a sexual relationship, promising her not to kiss and tell, and he also takes advantage of the opportunity to sell himself. Mxscot paints a picture of what a Lagos party is like, from the booze to the women to the overall vibe. He refers to his sound as Afro-aura, and on Rose Love, he plays with melodies and witty lyrics while still passing a vibe. Whoever "Onome" is has Mxscot completely in his feelings; in this uptempo song, Onome tries to talk love while making us nod and bop to a properly structured record.
5. Ukweli - Silaha ft KASHA
