    Brodrick draws from personal experience on Afro Drill track “CHAT”

    Nigerian artist Brodrick has released “CHAT”, an Afro Drill track exploring betrayal, conflict and reconciliation within a relationship.

    Released on June 19, the song appears on Brodrick’s debut album Tales Untold and draws from an experience in his own life. The lyrics follow a relationship affected by cheating and the attempt to rebuild trust after the resulting conflict.

    “CHAT” combines Afro-influenced songwriting and language with UK Drill production. Brodrick’s melodic delivery sits against the darker rhythmic character of the production, reflecting the musical influences he encountered after relocating abroad at an early age.

    The track was produced by Prodbyzawn and Prodbygravey, with Brodrick credited as the songwriter.

    “Tales Untold” is built around stories drawn from Brodrick’s experiences and perspective. Before beginning his own music career, he worked as a road manager for Nigerian artist 1da Banton before releasing his own music.

    “CHAT” is available on streaming platforms.

    UK Drill Rapper Zynovox Collaborates with Omofaaji on “Hustle” 

    Zynovox, the  fresh voice redefining Afro-Urban Rap in Nigeria and the UK, has released a new single “Hustle” featuring Omofaaji.

    A rising rap sensation blending authentic Nigerian storytelling with cutting-edge UK urban influences, Zynovox is set to captivate global audiences with his dynamic sound and relentless drive. 

    Born Obinna Norbert Aziude—Zynovox- a dynamic new force in Afro-Urban Rap who is rapidly reshaping the music landscape across Nigeria and the UK. With his bold fusion of raw lyricism, infectious beats, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity, Zynovox is turning heads and winning hearts in a genre hungry for fresh voices and genuine stories.

    From his early days in Enugu, Nigeria, Zynovox’s journey has been one of grit and transformation. Initially dabbling in rap in 2011 with the Better Get Best (B.G.B.) crew, he encountered setbacks and skepticism—from early studio rejections to personal sacrifices that saw him hide his passion from family and peers. Despite these obstacles, Zynovox pursued higher education, earning a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT) and going for his master’s degree in the UK. In 2024, he returned to music, determined to share his truth and create his own success.

    Zynovox’s sound is a blend of Afrobeat-infused rap, soulful R&B hooks, and the rhythmic pulse of UK urban music. His music reflects the duality of his experiences—melding the raw, emotional storytelling of his Nigerian roots with the innovative, boundary-pushing energy of the UK scene. “I believe that every bar I spit is a reflection of my journey—each track a piece of my story,” says Zynovox.

    Since his official return to music in late 2024, inspired by Burna Boy’s I Told Them Tour with Phyno and Odumodu Zynovox has been steadily building momentum. His debut single, “Glory Bound”, marked his return to the rap scene—a track reimagined with integrity after overcoming industry setbacks. 

     “Every challenge I faced was a lesson that made me stronger,” Zynovox reflects. “My music isn’t just sound—it’s my truth. With Middle East The EP, I want to inspire anyone who’s ever been doubted to rise above and create their own destiny.”
