Top Nigerian afro beats artiste, Skales, known for delivering mega hits like ‘Temper’ and ‘Shake Body’, some of the biggest Nigerian tunes to hit East Africa, is now taking on an East African approach from now on, into 2018.
Skales has released two smash hit singles Agolo and Booty Language featuring Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie in East Africa, as he plans to launch new singles featuring artistes from East Africa.
Speaking on his East Side plan Skales said, “I have decided to spread my brand strategically to East Africa because of the love and attention I get from my fans from East Africa. They have made my songs massive in the region.”
He added, “Music is also a universal language and the East African sound and culture continues to inspire my music in a lot of ways.”
Agolo and Booty Language are off Skales sophomore album ‘The Never Say Never Guy” and have dominated music airplay across Africa since the album dropped earlier on this year. Skales who tags his album as a masterpiece says, “I believe that East African sounds influenced a huge percentage of my album. This is part of the reason why I am setting aside time to venture into East Africa.”
Produced by Chopstix, Agolo is a certified afro pop hit with a perfect blend of Yoruba traditional sounds. The single has already sparked traditional dance steps among fans, just like in the video showcasing the streets of Ojota in Lagos, directed by Lucas Reid.
In Booty Language, Skales delivers smooth rap bars in a steady flow while appreciating the voluptuous curves of the African woman. Skales described the video boasting an urban setting with colorful graffiti displayed in the background director by Teekay as one of his favorites in recent times – asserting its creativity as incredibly commendable.
