With Crown & Altar, South African doctor, entrepreneur, and creative visionary Dr. Chad Marthinussen opens a new chapter in his passion project, Kings x Priests.
Where earlier works carried the driving energy of Afro-house and Amapiano, this record slows down. It breathes. It lingers. Built on Afrobeats, chill-wave textures, and intimate African rhythms, Crown & Altar still carries the pulse of the dancefloor — but with a gentler power, an energy that uplifts, heals, and praises.
“Born Again” the lead track on the album Crown and Altar is an intimate Afro beats /Fusion / chill wave project with a core theme of spirituality.
The song explores the emotional aftermath of deep love, guiding listeners through a journey of heartbreak, self-discovery, and personal growth.
“Papa” is a heartfelt ode to resilience and transformation.
Born Olena Kim in Ukraine with Korean and Nigerian roots, The AYAMI reflects on past relationships through the song, embracing forgiveness and the lessons learned, while confidently stepping into a stronger, wiser version of herself.
“Papa is the first song where my soul truly speaks on its own, without fear or pressure” The AYAMI shares. “After years of emotional dependence and losing many projects, I finally took control, rebuilt myself, and chose to move forward. This track is not just music—it’s my declaration that nothing and no one will ever stop me again.”
The album recently debuted at number one on the iTunes UK R&B/Soul Albums chart and #18 on the UK HipHop/R&B Albums chart.

I’ve loved Tiwa Savage since I first watched the “Kele Kele Love” in my uncle’s living room in Abuja in 2011 so when her team reached out to ask if I’d like to attend the event I was like of course!
Kelele Love. Still remember the very first time I saw the video. MTV Base or Trace I was mopping my uncle’s house in Abuja.😂 I was hooked!

Once at The Library Lagos I was greeted by a beautiful young lady who offered me ice cold water and a Don Julio cocktail.
She asked me to knock on a tiny door and a hand reached out with my ice cold cocktail.
Once inside The Library Lagos the music was hitting and the performances were amazing but Tiwa Savage arrived about an hour later and the energy went from good to great.

We spent all night dancing to her songs- both classics like “Kele Kele Love” “Eminado” “Love Me” “Diet” “Loaded” and new ones from the new album like “You4Me” “On The Low” “Holding It Down” and more and like the hypeman kept reminding us, it was hit after hit after hit.

Other celebrities like Uti Nwachukwu, Jay Jay Okocha Flavour N’Abania were also there to support her.
Tiwa Savage was in high spirits, as she danced and passed out shots of Don Julio around.
The night finally ended at around 4 am. I was so tired but I’d had the time of my life.

It blends Lagos Street energy with a trap bounce and is designed to catch attention right away.
“The track carries the same kind of instant pull you hear from Burna Boy, Rema, or Asake, but with more grit and bounce that sticks after the first listen,” says Onyaka.
With its catchy hooks and emotional feel, “Let Me Go” is both danceable and reflective.
“This track is personal for me. It’s about how they don’t want me to succeed, to go the next level — I don’t know who “they” is, might even be me,” says Hengin.
“Falling in Love” is an Afrobeats-infused summer anthem about that magnetic, intoxicating connection you can’t shake.
Inspired by the energy of global festivals and the euphoria of meeting someone who feels like fate, this track blends warm percussion, catchy melodies, and an irresistible hook.
Born Ewetuga Clinton Oluwatimileyin,Salthy’s journey began in secondary school, where his raw freestyle videos caught attention and marked the beginning of his career.
“I love blending authenticity with emotion and my music reflects his belief that every song should tell a story and create connection,” says Salthy
The rising star also has a signature catchphrase, “EWESOO” — Every Word Expresses Strong Emotions & Originality — which serves as the foundation of his artistry and defines.
