First announced 6 months ago, 2IZZY’s new single “LOWER BODY” is set to hit airwaves on the 22nd of October.

While fans have been eager to hear from 2izzy for a while, it has been confirmed that the track would not be the last release from the artist in 2022. This year has shaped up to be an excellent year for the A King’s Queen crooner, who released the much lauded remix collection this march. With the short film still yet to be released, the track is positioned as the first song of the artist for the last quarter of 2022, who has several projects lined up to round up the year.

​  A KING’S QUEEN, THE SHORT FILM. AN EXHILARATING VISUAL JOURNEY “ Wonderful, stunning and captivating, this short film signals a fresh chapter in the exceptional journey of an artist”.

HIT THE NOTE: GOOD BOY BAD WAYS, AN ALBUM REVIEW PART 4

Image
TIKOSE TRANSFORMS THE MUNDANE INTO A SPIRITUAL ABUNDANCE ON “NEVER BREAK AGAIN” While it has become somewhat routine for most artists to have a track of similar ilk on their projects, TIKO$E is taking a fresh approach to this usually tackled sub-genre of some sorts. The head bobbing song is a composite of expertly crafted sounds, the plucking of the guitar string introduces the track but is quickly overshadowed by the deep bass enveloping it before peeling back again, and it is svelte, smooth and converges beautifully on the track. Whereas the song employs a somewhat regular and simple formula with the message and overall vibe, it is elevated greatly by the raspy mellow restrained pitch vocals of TIKO$E, adding another layer of melody that blends seamlessly with the steady foot tapping rhythm. With each track, there is a new revelation,that in my opinion is deserving of the praise it so rightfully deserves. Listen:

HIT THE NOTE: GOOD BOY BAD WAYS, AN ALBUM REVIEW PART 3

Image
  THE PROMISE OF REINVENTION, TIKO$E TAKES US ON A RIDE. “Final form”, from the title alone feelings of excitement at drawn parallels hits the eager listeners. On theme with the already noted transformation of TIKO$E on easily his best body of work yet, Final form speaks to the fans directly. A promise of further change and delicious fruits of coming projects tugs at the heartstrings of loyal listeners. The sensual track is laced with promises of a reinvention, as the seductive strumming of the guitar accompany the smooth vocals of TIKO$E, whose confidence shines through on the track. It reads like a prophecy and not a promise as he belts “O Lord this ain’t final form”, a sure fire to the point fact, which I would argue has been apparent since the first notes of the album tore through the air. The rhythm is slow, and meditative, not flashy, with unmistakable hints of BOLERO influence guiding the track as it goes and hard to miss at the drop of the first note, it is somewhat ...

HIT THE NOTE: GOOD BOY BAD WAYS, AN ALBUM REVIEW PART 2

Image
 TIKO$E GOES ELECTRIC ON “WHEN THEY NEED ME”. The strumming of the guitar strings accompanied by the heavy hit of bass, quickly bathes you in the invigorating blend of sounds as the track begins. Good Boy Bad Ways, presents yet another track that solidifies TIKO$E’s transformation hinted in the first track “CONSEQUENCE”. When they need me is a composite of skillfully molded sounds and carefully constructed lyrics belted out in the now signature svelte and smoky voice perfected by TIKO$E.  It builds on the already solid introduction of the previous tracks, and in some ways is reminiscent of the early years of resurgence of Afrobeats in the mid 2010’s. Tantalizing and slow, the track is perfect for cold, dark and trippy moods, there is almost a promise of a highly rewarding pique as you sway and swing to its addicting tunes. TIKO$E proves that he is capable of catering to a diverse groups of listeners, feeding their hunger no matter the expectations set for him. This is ...

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: 7MORE AND 2IZZY, A DYNAMIC DUO.

Image
  7MORE AND 2IZZY, A DYNAMIC DUO Throughout music history there have been no short of iconic bands like the Beatles, Fleetwood, Diana and the Supremes, The Jackson Five and legendary Duos such as Sonny and Cher and Daft Punk amongst others. Their music can only be described as a cocktail of magic, talent and chemistry with upbeat rhythm, fresh lyrics and passionate vocals that reverberated from bar to bar, hook to hook and chorus to chorus which in turn made the listener burst with euphoria at the sound of the first note, it feels like “ witchcraft”. Could 7MORE and 2IZZY have cracked the code? Although it would be difficult to measure since they aren’t an actual band, one can’t help but wonder why they mesh so well together. What about them makes the listener hunger and thirst for more? It could be chalked up to raw talent and chemistry but it might be more than that. The Dynamic Duo has released multiple projects together and is due to release one this month as confirmed by...
