In 2019, he successfully released his sophomore studio album “Heart” under BBoy Records imprint.

“El Chako” has been creating a formidable platform to uncover other talents. He can be lauded for bringing Vivid, Vernyuy Tina and Cleo Grae to the spotlight and triggering a renewed attention on Gasha who was on a musical hiatus. The “Blue Nation” frontline act has been releasing collaborative projects this year. “Put your hands on we” , “Who be actor” and his recently released solo project “Apart” are some of the videos that have entertained Cameroonians this year. He even did a rap song he dubbed “For the culture” after a rift with Jovi. He has now launched  “For the culture” (1 million FRS) challenge. It’s actually performing magic.

Apart from being an extremely talented artist, Tzy’s got an effectual visual identity and love-mark on social media. He’s been driving much traffic on his Facebook page.

Producer and artist extraordinaire Abz has been musically resilient from the time he debuted with Vivid Smith as “Realm Squad”. In spite of the feud with Wax Dey that got the group into temporal obscurity, he kept on making music. After amicably resolving his misunderstanding with Wax Dey and gaining his creative emancipation, Abz has been unabated. The virtuoso seems to have found his poise.
” Au revoir”, “Ngarbuh” and recently released “Ololiyo” featuring Daphne have been well-received by a public that can’t wait to have more.

RINYU is such a rare gem the music industry has been missing. Her sultry voice, utter charm and charisma has raised her to a reputable platform.
Nexdim has been eagle-eyed on her dramatic progression. In 2019, she dropped “Where you dey” “Marry me” and “Stay with me for Christmas” . 2020 hasn’t been different.
