While we had barely gotten over Nazzofficial Pana Refix originally composed by Tekno . Every day on social media ‘’ Facebook‘’ short videos of Nazz Pana refix is been uploaded. The Ghanaian singer has dropped another inescapable hit titled ‘’One Africa’’ that is rocking thousands in Eastern and Northern Africa. Now MTV Africa’s best female act 2016, Yemi Alade , has taken an already perfect song and added her inimitable flair – arguably making it even better than Nazzofficial and Tekno. (But we won’t have this argument). Delivering a fantastic freestyled verse, while leaving Tekno’s fantastic voice to start off  and end the song, Yemi Alade just made us fall in love with our favorite song of 2016 all over again.

For weeks, life has not been as it always has been. There has been a tremendous shift in form and way of life. I do not want to confuse you as you might be now. But by then that is reality.
