Lohrasp Kansara Reboots Aly-Us’ 1992 Hit ‘Follow Me’ featuring Norman Alexander
On the eve of Labor Day weekend, world-renowned DJ, producer, and actor Lohrasp Kansara released his latest single ‘Follow Me’. The highly anticipated reboot of the classic house single ‘Follow Me’ is a remake of the famed 1992 original house single by Aly-Us. The track was (re)released under the Wh0 Plays label on September 1, 2023.
It is a balanced blend of emotional, upbeat, and dance with exceptional vocals from New York City-based singer-songwriter Norman Alexander, currently signed to indie label Mlife Records also based in New York. The only remake to have full clearance since Aly-Us has gained resonance and traction across the nightlife industry and entertainment world alike. It was performed LIVE among Manhattan’s elite clubs over Labor Day weekend – ‘Follow Me’ has started a strong stir among New Yorkers.
‘Follow Me’ is a mainstream house crossover offering emotional piano melodies and a melodic bassline in reverence to the original track. It has been infused with nostalgic energy and a modern twist creating a groove that will make any person fall in love, whether it be for the first time or all over again. Mesmerizing, ‘Follow Me’ is meant to inspire and be enjoyed as both Lohrasp Kansara and Norman Alexander take the listener on a musical journey.
Lohrasp worked for four years on the track and has made seven other versions in collaboration with other singers and instrumentalists. It wasn’t until he got to work with Norman Alexander that they were able to take the gold behind the song and amplify its brightness. Their brilliant remake of one of the most beloved house tracks of all time – will live infinitely at the top of both artist’s discography.
Lohrasp Kansara’s heart and soul are imprinted in the remake of ‘Follow Me’, featuring a revamped beautiful bassline and emotive piano melody that honors the original. Coupled with the unparalleled sound of Norman Alexander’s vocals which certify his singularity among singers, ‘Follow Me’ is beginning to spread like wildfire among listeners as witnessed in New York City over Labor Day weekend.
Speaking about the single, Lohrasp Kansara explains,
“It’s literally indescribable because this song connects with me on so many levels. Since a young age growing up with my American family while far away from my birth mother, this song was a classic staple. Once I began making my own music I always knew I wanted to remake ‘Follow Me’ but I had to do it proper justice; four years and eight versions later I’m in tears of joy listening to what Norman and I were able to create together.”
Speaking about the single, Norman Alexander comments,
“‘Follow Me’ is timeless, it’s both fun and hopeful. It’s a call to unite.”
‘Follow Me’ is bound to attract new listeners to both their respective music. The track is available on all streaming platforms and upcoming live performances can be caught during New York Fashion Week at PHD, Lavo, as well as the following week at the Vegandale festival where Rick Ross and Coi Leray are the headliners.
The Afrobeats scene is evolving rapidly, and “DEM DEAD” by Drela and Stonebwoy might just be its next pivotal moment. The song doesn’t tiptoe into your speakers — it kicks the door open and announces itself with teeth-baring confidence. Drela, still on the ascent, raps like someone who knows his moment has arrived. Every bar is sharp, laced with realness, and aimed like arrows toward his sceptics.
Stonebwoy, a legend in his own right, doesn’t just lend a verse — he elevates the entire track. His voice, full of lived wisdom and unmistakable power, balances Drela’s youthful ferocity with a seasoned calm. Their chemistry is undeniable. You can almost hear the unspoken respect between them, making “DEM DEAD” not just a collaboration, but a cultural handshake between generations and regions.
Sonically, Mix Master Garzy cooks up a storm. The beat is aggressive but polished, with layers of percussive flair and melodic tension that reflect the emotional weight of the track. This isn’t background music — it’s front and center, demanding full attention. The production moves like a soundtrack to a revolution, and Drela and Stonebwoy are its leading voices.
The visual treatment seals the deal. Shot across iconic locations in Lagos and Accra, the music video fuses art and symbolism with street realism. There’s a narrative here — one of struggle, resistance, and ultimate triumph. Both artists appear in their element, delivering not just performance but presence. The shots of unity and resilience speak louder than any lyric.
In a time where feel-good anthems often overshadow songs with true intent, “DEM DEAD” reminds us of the power of message music. It’s a battle hymn for the ambitious, the underdog’s war chant. Drela is clearly not just chasing clout — he’s building legacy. And with Stonebwoy backing him, the world better be ready.
