Two of Nigeria's sexiest male artists out right now on one song? Haaaa! The video is craaaazy!
As Iyanya currently tours the UK for his sophomore album release "Iyanya vs Desire", he found time to drop his new video to "Jombolo" featuring one of my personal faves - Flavour.
Iyanya premiered the video on Sunday in London during his concert. And now the visuals directed by Sesan is officially out for the rest of the world to see. "Jombolo" was produced by Gospel On D Beatz.
I love this song too much from Tillaman especially the remix featuring Burna Boy, Iyanya, Phyno, Trigga and Ice Prince.
They kept the video nice and clean for us, with all the guys featured on the song appearing in the video who are all swagged out from head to toe. A couple of females and nice cars are also in the car. Not much to say but this song is a jaaaaaam and it was produced by Legundary Beats (who are now signed to Wizkid's 'Star Boy') Jor o!
It's only right that Iyanya's single 'Sexy Mama' got a sexy video to it... Right?
Iyanya is currently touring the States then will hit up the UK right after in June, for his album launch (read here). But that doesn't stop the 'Kukere' star from releasing brand new visuals for singles off his debut album 'Iyanya Vs Desire'.
One of the many features on the album was of course the talented Wizkid - who features and appears in the video to 'Sexy Mama', which was directed by Sesan.
This new video is filled with nothing but beautiful women, dancing, jewels and money. And of course a very swagged out Iyanya and Wizkid.
Sesan did a great job with the visuals once again!
With his songs 'Kukere', 'Your Waist' and 'Flavour' on constant repeat in clubs worldwide and on the radio all across Africa and the UK, one of Africa's fastest rising stars - Iyanya is set to tear up the stage in the UK!

Okay, I'm like a week behind blogging this - but I really like this remix. Tillaman brings together Burna Boy, Iyanya, Ice Prince, Phyno and Trigga Madtonic for the remix to his hit Afrobeat club single 'Koma Roll'.
The original music video has been banned on NBC in Nigeria (is there a music video that they don't ban on that channel - but shown on every other channel)- hopefully Tillaman will make a remix video?.. I'm sure that will be fun!
The song was produced by Legendary Beats/Mastered by Suka
Remember that hot singer that I blogged about in November - Lola Rae?Well, the bombshell has dropped a bomb on us with this new video to her single 'Watch My Ting Go', one of two that she released.
This video just dropped literally minutes ago and has already got twitter buzzing!!
Lola Rae has just been doing her thing since the two singles premiered - and even done an interview with BBC Africa - and it gets better - she hit the highest hits ever for a non-political story (watch here).Rae, also got radio airplay in both Lagos on Fade Ogunro's 'Liquid Lounge' show on The Beat 99.9 FM and 'Watch My Thing Go' received it's first UK airplay on DJ Edu's BBC 1XTRA 'Destination Africa Show'
If that's not winning, I don't know what is then...
Dance with the former Britain's Got Talent finalist in her new video 'Watch My Ting' which features cameo appearances from UK Comedian - Don't Jealous Me (Tolu Ogunmefun), Kukere Master - Iyanya and his Triple MG label mate - Emma Nyra and a sexy sassy dance routine from the lovely CEO Dancers.
It may be just the beginning for Lola Rae, but she is doing it like a pro... You better werk now! *snaps fingers*
During his UK tour, back in November - Iyanya who is most popular for his song 'Kukere' shot the music video for his single 'Flavour'. The video features footage from his performance at the AY Show at the IndigO2.
The video was done in Manchester and directed by London's very own... Yes, you guessed it... Mr Moe Musa!
The #1 Afrobeats Party anthem out right now, 'Kukere' by Iyanya has officially got a remix to it, featuring the KokoMaster himself - D'Banj...
...And I do NOT like it.
Personally, I feel that the song DOES NOT need a remix, because the original version is a banger all in itself! When will some artists realist that not every song needs a remix?! Abegi!
No shade to D'Banj though! Cos there's quite a few artists jumping on the bandwagon!
The beat is still hot sha. Listen below for yourself, I've said enough! Bottoms up!
