11th March 2022

Today [Friday 11 March], starting his 2022 with a sonic bang, afro singing sensation Jaya debuts with a brand new, self-titled EP project out now via The Empire.

The significance of this EP speaks to an awakening, a rebirth sort of. It is Jaya’s first project in over a year since he last put out anything official – not for the fans which he normally would, and neither for commercial value even, which is one of the benefits of his musical artistry. He’s utilized his time off as a period for redress to not only finetune his craft but to have a microscopic depth of understanding to his creative self, his purpose and then apply that insight in his quest to victory as he journeys through to become. It is in this same mind of intentionality that the EP was eponymously titled as a representation of himself birthing the vision and becoming an embodiment of his own creation.

Jaya is no new staple to the industry fold and an EP that is themed on hustle and grit can only communicate aptly. With a musical career that spans about 5years, Jaya’s EP is a statement based on what he ultimately hopes to be, and this EP chronicles the grinding process that takes him to that desired place. From R&B sounds to African pop that is both edgy and rich especially when you add his soulful vocals to the mix, Jaya finds expression on six (6) tracks that paint him in different facets. Bayi, Vibe & Believe reveal the side of Jaya that is hopeful and a dreamer. Kerewa is playful and shows his dexterity using witty lyrics and innuendos just like Suddenly while WAFF and Dance Killer are what we’d call a vibe!

Speaking on the EP, Jaya shared that the project was a very personal one to him adding that it was in doing the things that gave him joy that he found the strength to keep going and not give up.

“I’m happy that this project is coming out now. A lot of us, myself inclusive have waited long enough for this moment to become a reality and that’s why I spared nothing on this project. I gave it my all. I intentionally went silent for a while, and I was able to use the time to study more and perfect my potential in a way that serves everyone the best of me.”

The EP doesn’t only tackle issues that are somewhat deep and sometimes personal, it also allows for breezy moments where fans and listeners can just catch cruise and enjoy a chilling vibe.

Nigerian Afrobeats artist Nino De Brown returns with a new single, “Money,” featuring

Rhapsodic Records artist and producer Sholex Timbo On “Money,”

Nino De Brown takes on one of the most universal subjects in modern life: the desire for financial success and everything that comes with it. Rather than presenting wealth simply as a symbol of luxury, Nino De Brown uses the record to explore the complicated emotions behind wanting money, needing money, and understanding what money cannot provide.

The song immediately establishes its theme with the memorable refrain:

“Money no dey buy happiness, I know am

But still I want am

Money be the root of all evil, I hear am

But still I want am”

Those lines capture the central contradiction of the record. People may understand that money cannot guarantee happiness, peace, love, or fulfillment, yet the desire for financial freedom remains powerful.

Nino De Brown approaches the subject from a deeply relatable perspective, turning everyday ambitions into an infectious Afrobeats record. His melodic delivery gives the song an easygoing quality, while the lyrics carry a more reflective message underneath the rhythm.

“Money” speaks to the realities of wanting to improve one’s circumstances, support loved ones, achieve personal goals, and enjoy the opportunities that financial success can bring. At the same time, the song acknowledges the limits of wealth and the complicated relationship people can have with the pursuit of it.

The record sees Nino De Brown continuing to develop his sound and songwriting around themes that connect with everyday experiences. His ability to package a familiar subject into a catchy and accessible Afrobeats record gives “Money” both immediate appeal and a message listeners can take away from it.

Adding to the record is Sholex Timbo, a newly signed artist and producer under Rhapsodic Records, who contributes as a featured artist and produced the song. His production provides the rhythmic foundation for Nino De Brown’s performance while adding another layer to the collaboration.

Ultimately, “Money” remains a Nino De Brown record at its core an honest, melodic and infectious reflection on ambition, desire and the realities of chasing financial success.

“Money” by Nino De Brown featuring Sholex Timbo is out now on all major streaming platforms.
