With these recent drops, is a debut album on the horizon? Whatever it is, we’re ready!
2. Fireboy DML — Outside Ft Blaqbonez/ Obaa Sima
Fireboy, a Nigerian sweetheart, breaks his music silence with a double-pack of songs, ‘Outside’ and ‘Obaa Sima.’ The inclusion of Blaqbonez in ‘Outside’ makes for an amazing collaboration, blending the rapper’s unique talent with Fireboy’s sonic vocals. It’s Fireboy’s way of saying, ‘Merry Christmas in advance!’
