Eseurhobo Miracle Ejiro (Born 1st June 1999) is a young Nigerian Rapper and Songwriter popularly known as RZLA. He began his music career as a Songwriter and later began recording music at the age of 16 alongside friends in a group they called “illegal gang music”.
RZLA’s music pushes boundaries and mesmerizes in a bold quest for both experimentation and intimacy, it is a fusion of African hip-hop and Afro-beats and it is quite easy to tell that he is influenced by the likes of the Afro-beat legend Fela Kuti, Lil Wayne, and Nigerian rapper Ycee. His last single “Money” enjoyed a measure of success, but he isn’t resting on that and he is here with a new hit single titled “Slow and Steady” featuring singer Pizo and produced by xtofabeatz.
“People rarely know what to expect from me most times, I’m always trying to get them interested in what they don’t know they might like” __RZLA

Coming straight out one of the most livest hoods in Lagos Nigeria is a rapper known as “Chase’N”. Chase’N has been in the rap scene for quite a while but due to the fact that Afro-beat has become Nigeria’s leading Sound, rappers often find themselves in the dark searching for some attention. In the past, Rap and Ragga were in the fore and were described as Nigeria’s main sound but things took a drastic turn in the last few years. But trust me, Nigeria has never fallen short of dope rappers and lyricists.
Okota Lagos is home to some of the finest rappers in Nigeria.
The city which is located on Lagos Mainland in the district of Oshodi Local Government is known for it’s high crime rate, a massive population, and low-income neighborhoods could be described as an abode for middle-class Nigerians quite far from the plush and fancy lifestyle on Lagos Island.
CHASE’N whose real names are (Agbi Nelson) originally from Edo State was born and raised in Okota. He decides to drop some impressive bars on the famous Casanova (so Brooklyn) instrumental to describe the challenges of living in Okota Lagos. Chasen, originally from Edo state, though born and raised in the streets of Lagos, is looking to put out a mix-tape which may include adding verses to famous Afro-beat hits like Kizz Daniels Fvck you and Tekno’s Better Instrumentals which were used for online beat challenges this year.

This represents the coming together of two heavyweights to produce something astronomical. This is huge! Two of Afrobeat’s finest, DJ Boat and Kobi Jonz have been buzzing as soon as they announced the release of their Naija-Ghana Tape Vol. 1. Kobi Jonz who has caught the eye with his very infectious vibe is on the brink of greatness. The USA based Afrobeat singer is one of the artists that will break out and blow up in a few months. He has put in a lot of work in his craft, and his time is around the corner.
DJ Boat, on the other hand, is a Ghanaian DJ resident in the USA. He describes himself as a global Afrobeat DJ. I have had the opportunity to listen to some of his mixes and they have been topnotch.

Hamzy West graduated from Afe Babalola University in Nigeria and within a few years found himself in the United States.

Having performed at some of the biggest events in Indiana this year, Hamzywest releases the visuals to his single titled Remember the time directed by another Indiana based Videographer DannyShizzle. Remember the time is definitely a hit.
