Rilo has started the year in the strongest way possible. The Nigerian artist based in the united states releases his much publicized single on the first day of 2021. Rilo made our list for The Top Afro-beat artists from Indianapolis that had the most productive year in 2020 and he is already trying to surpass the feat of last year. Rilo told us during a chat that he had planned to release a different single all together but then changed his mind last minute because he and his team thought this is the right time to release a song with an “Amapiano” sound. Amapiano can be considered to be the South African version of Nigeria’s Afro-beat. Well, more specifically, it is a brand of house music that originates from South Africa and it has taken the music space by storm lately.

Rilo comes correct on this single as he usually does and we are expecting this to come with some sort of visual. This is a real heavy Amapiano vibe to start the year correct. The song is produced by Eframesounds.

Dj Smart has been very impressive this year , putting out a number of mixtapes and constantly being around the party scene in Indianapolis USA for the entire year. What’s more impressive is that this young DJ from Ondo state Nigeria only started DJing around December 2019. How did he evolve so quickly into being one of Indiana’s most sort after DJ’s in 2020? I have no idea.

What I do know is that the talent and hard work compliment each other and DJ Smart has an ear for good music. He is one DJ that will introduce a song to a crowd even before they become hits. This is one quality I admire in DJ’s ; The ability to identify a hit song or contribute to the spread of a hit before the song actually takes off.

DJ Smart describes this mix as “Premium transitions and vibes from the best Afrobeat albums in 2020”. He takes a deep dive into the best Afro-beat Albums in 2020 and the result is a very fluid mix of the best Afro-beat songs on the planet. It puts you in air plane mode!

What a great time to release a mix. I am sure we will all be partying with this mix into the new year and beyond. Play and download below
