    Tezymiles Releases New Single “Na Money”

    Port Harcourt artist Tezymiles has released a new single titled “Na Money”, a street-influenced Afrobeats track that focuses on money, relationships and the pressures that sit between both.

    The song is built around a simple but recurring idea: financial stability often shapes personal relationships. Over an upbeat, club-ready instrumental, Tezymiles delivers verses that lean into familiar street expressions and everyday observations about hustle and survival.

    At the centre of the track is the hook “Na money be the koko,” a phrase that drives the song’s message about money as a determining factor in modern life. The lyrics touch on ambition, romantic disappointment and the reality of prioritising financial progress.

    Lines such as “Why should I be sorry oh? When I dey find money oh” and “If you leave me I no go sweat” frame the song around self-reliance and emotional detachment in the face of economic pressure.

    Speaking about the release, Tezymiles positioned the track as a reflection of daily struggle and ambition.

    “Na money be the koko,” he said. “This song is for every guy out there grinding.”

    “Na Money” by Tezymiles is now available on major streaming platforms.

    UK-based Nigerian artist DRAY, also known as Dr. Ayotunde Dawodu, has released his latest single, “African Girl,” a track that celebrates the beauty, confidence, and intelligence of African women.

    Blending Afro-rap, Afrobeats, and Amapiano influences, the song combines energetic rhythms with lyrics that challenge stereotypes and highlight the achievements and individuality of modern African women.

    “I wanted to honor the intelligence, the stride, and the unapologetic nature of African women. This track celebrates their power, from their ambition to their cultural roots, and challenges narrow views of beauty and success. It’s a tribute to the baddie who also washes her own dishes.”

Holding a PhD in Energy Technologies and Sustainable Development, he has authored three books and more than 40 academic publications. His unique combination of academic and creative pursuits has earned him the nickname “The Vain Professor.”
