WizKid & Skepta Take It Way Back On “Longtime”
WizKid blessed fans with a brand new album this past Friday, titled, Made In Lagos. The Nigerian superstar’s new project marks his first since 2017’s Sounds From The Other Side. Made In Lagos does include a few features from the artists on his roster while also getting with former collaborators that he’s previously made magic with on records.
Wiz and Skepta connect once again for a highlight off of Made In Lagos titled, “Longtime.” The song feels like it could be a sequel or an extension of what they did together on their massive record, “Energy.” Skepta’s laidback luxe flows details beachside extravagance at the top before WizKid takes over and floats over the upbeat production.
Check out WizKid and Skepta’s new collaboration below.
Quotable Lyrics
Ready or not, mandem with a few G’s
So where your friends at, I’m tryna get higher got the jetpack
Smile on my face when she text back
Said she don’t wanna play games, I respect that
No lies, man I’m tellin’ you the truth
Everyting mad when I pull up with the goons
Ciroc boys with ain’t fuckin’ with the Goose
Big racks, that’s monеy out the roof

Henry Desira returns with renewed purpose on latest release “hopeful forever”
Henry Desira’s “Forever Hopeful” is a meaningful return to songwriting, a deeply personal release rooted in reflection, perseverance, and emotional honesty. Rather than sugar-coating life’s difficulties with simple optimism, the song embraces uncertainty and emphasizes the subtle resilience that enables us to carry on. It’s more than a return; it’s a creative renaissance after a difficult time away from music due to mental health issues.
“Forever Hopeful” is a heartfelt song. The song is about the fact that there is still hope even when things seem too big. Henry Desira doesn’t make life seem easy, but rather embraces the complexities of life and reminds the listener that difficult moments don’t negate the possibility of brighter days ahead. That balanced view gives the track a comforting authenticity, making its message of uplift feel earned rather than idealized.
Forever Hopeful is a creative return that packs a bigger emotional punch than its title suggests. It speaks to the courage it takes to start over, to find inspiration again, to transmute personal adversity into something of value. The song becomes a personal milestone and a hopeful reminder that healing is seldom immediate, but progress is possible. Henry Desira’s latest release hits deep for being vulnerable and resilient at the same time, an honest offering of hope that sticks around long after the music stops.

One Yen unveils where alternative rock meets the search for something more with “Vesica Piscis (Open)”
One Yen‘s latest release, “Vesica Piscis (Open)” is an emotionally charged and provocative album of alternative rock that is as compelling as it is powerful. With driving rhythms, layered guitars, atmospheric textures, and soaring melodic vocals, the song captures the spirit of late ‘90s alt-rock while embracing the big sound of modern alt-rock.
Named after the ancient symbol created by the intersection of two circles, Vesica Piscis immediately positions itself as more than a typical rock anthem. It explores awakening, self-discovery, duality, and man’s eternal quest for meaning outside the material world. Instead of giving easy answers, the lyrics begin an ongoing dialogue about identity, consciousness, and transcendence.
Musically, the song keeps up a compelling sense of momentum throughout. The song is built around a powerful foundation of energetic instrumentation, with atmospheric layers providing enough space for reflection. That mix of power and nuance ensures that the ride is never so enthralling that it loses its emotional heft.
