ARB Delivers Masterful Tune ‘Guy’
ARB, the enigmatic musical group, return with their latest single ‘Guy’, featuring KAEY. The sonic storm on the tune features afrobeat vocals, grime beats and string instruments while having an upbeat atmospheric background.
To cement their position in the Afro scene and demonstrate their innovative approach to genres, ARB is scheduled to release ground-breaking AfroGrime, Afrobeats, Afrobeat, Afropop, and Afrofusion records in the coming year.
When asked about the inspiration behind this new single, ARB has the following to say;
“It means the world to me as it blends all the different sub-genres that I play, into one song. It is unique and provokes the listener to interact with it without trying too hard. In the campaign promo for Guy, we will implement the “10k hussle campaign” which will see us award 10k Naira to hardworking traders and market sellers in a bid to encourage their hustling and to appreciate their hard work.”
It’s safe to assume that ARB has the future of Afro-music in good hands, having shot to prominence in the music industry in the blink of an eye. This captivating song deftly combines several genre elements to envelop listeners in an intriguing atmosphere and showcase their versatility as a group.
Cameroon-born, Germany-based artist Der Oscar Effekt is back and he’s bringing the feels with him. His single “Fool” is the main spark of his most personal project yet, three stone fireside, vol. 1.
If you’ve ever heard his music, you know: Der Oscar Effekt doesn’t just make songs, he builds moods. His sound is a delicious mix of Afrofusion, Makossa, Bikutsi, African folk, and hip-hop, simmered together until it’s pure vibe. It’s music that makes you nod your head and think a little deeper.
What makes him even more inspiring? He’s doing all this while balancing a full-time career as a project manager. His motto — #9to5isnoexcuse — isn’t just a hashtag; it’s a lifestyle. It’s proof that creativity doesn’t wait for perfect timing, it thrives in between deadlines, dinner plans, and dreams.
The album’s name, three stone fireside, comes from a scene that anyone who’s grown up around African family life will recognize — the three-stone fireside, the heart of the home. It’s where stories are told, laughter is loud, food tastes better, and wisdom gets passed down like secret recipes.
For Der Oscar Effekt, that image carries a lifetime of meaning: warmth, belonging, and connection.
“Even though I live far from home, that sense of togetherness never left me”, he says. “This album is my way of translating that energy into sound — intimate, reflective, and communal.”
