$tevoxcv Unveils Phenomenal New Track “Jungle Fever”
$tevoxcv – real name Steve Okolo – is a British Nigerian rapper based in London. The rising star has just unveiled his brand-new single, “Jungle Fever”, featuring the talented David Meli. With a fascinating blend of hip-hop, pop and Afrobeats, $tevoxcv has been making waves since bursting on the scene in 2020, and he looks set to reach new heights with his latest release.
On “Jungle Fever”, $tevoxcv and David Meli come together to express their shared desire for a stress-free life. Produced by BMN, the song incorporates themes of resilience, triumph over past hardships and unapologetic expressions of success and wealth. The infectious beats and clever wordplay in “Jungle Fever” will undoubtedly captivate listeners and draw in new fans.
“Jungle Fever” is the first single from $tevoxcv’s upcoming project, “Nights in Gidi”, scheduled to drop later this year. Fans can expect an immersive musical journey that showcases $tevoxcv’s evolution as an artist and his ability to craft compelling stories.
Speaking on how “Jungle Fever” came about, $tevoxcv says, “BMN and I have been working together for the last four or five years. He constantly sends me beats, and I constantly hoard gems, though I am working on that part of me. ‘Jungle Fever’ was a result of one of our many sessions, and I had actually finished the track, but I felt something was still missing. I reached out to David Meli expecting back a singing verse, but he sent me back straight bars, and I was shocked because everyone knows Meli is a sick vocalist, but he might as well add ‘rapper’ to his bio at this point.”
As $tevoxcv continues to push boundaries with his music, he is poised to make a lasting impact on the global music scene. With his infectious sound and powerful lyricism, he is cementing his place as one of the most exciting artists to emerge over the last few years. “Jungle Fever” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://soniqhill.ffm.to/junglefever.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
