New Music: YFS - Alé (Late At Night)

Esdee and Havoc who make up of the UK based Afrobeats duo YFS are back with a new banger ‘Alé’ after releasing two anthems for the summer.

The boys whose singles ‘Come Closer’ featuring Cass of STP, and ‘Hold Us Down’ were spinned in many clubs, and on radio in the UK throughout the summer slow things down for us with their new sexual Yoruba-led record ‘Alé’, which in English means "late at night".

Showing us their sweeter sides on the GA produced track, YFS might have just released their best song yet. Take a listen to ‘Alé’ and decide for yourself.

New Video: YFS - Gbaskidibo ft. Moelogo

‘Gbaskidibo’ is the newest release from UK Afrobeats duo YFS (Esdee and Havoc). 

The boys took it to central London to shoot the music video where they shut things down at a recent takeover at the renowned club - Cokobar. Rising AfroPop/R&B star Moelogo blesses the hook of the catchy track, that was premiered by Hip TV and Cool FM in Nigeria.

Made up of rapper/actor Havoc, who will recognize from his cameo appearance in the music video for Davido's ‘Skelewu’, and Esdee, who grew to prominence supporting Wizkid on his 2012 UK tour, fast-rising duo YFS are definitely ones to watch this year, with relevant co-signs coming from the likes of Iyanya, Ice Prince and Skales just to name a few.

With cameo appearances from 2Kriss and Ezi Emela among a few others, watch and enjoy the jam packed video to YFS' highly-anticipated single ‘Gbaskidibo’.

New Music: YFS and 2Kriss - ‘Baddo’ + ‘Tonto’

After a brief hiatus from the game following their 2012 single ‘Clique’, 2Kriss and YFS - the crowned Princes of Afrobeats - are back with two massive new collaborative singles ‘Baddo’ and ‘Tonto’ that will blow you away!

Both produced by 2Kriss, ‘Baddo’ is a gloriously bass-heavy tune with quickfire witty lyrics and infectious flows from 2Kriss and YFS, backed by thumping drums and synthy grand piano arrangements while ‘Tonto’ as you will have guessed is a playful and light-hearted ode to Nigerian Superstar actress Tonto Dikeh.

All aged between 18 and 21, Moses and Raphael, who together are 2Kriss and Esdee and Havoc, who make up YFS, have both achieved large strides in their own rights within AfroPop and Afrobeats music circles and at such young ages too.

Having produced for the likes of Iyanya, Olamide and EMI recording artist Amplify Dot and collaborated with Wizkid and Ice Prince among others, 2Kriss continue to remain one of the most sought after production names across Nigeria and the UK.

YFS on the other hand have already been co-signed by several industry heavyweights including Iyanya, Skales and Ice Prince to mention a few while also working with the likes of Wizkid and Maleek Berry, having supported Wizkid on his UK tour last year.

With the explosive A-side ‘Baddo’ already being requested by club and radio DJs and with Tonto Dikeh herself already a professed massive fan of bonus B-Side ‘Tonto’ already, 2Kriss and YFS are about to have a sensational next few months and it all starts now - listen to ‘Baddo’ and ‘Tonto’ below!

New Music: YFS - Versace (Remix)

"Versace, Versace! Medusa head on me like I'm illuminati!"

From Drake to Meek Mill all remixing Migos' track ‘Versace’, and now up and coming UK rappers - YFS have also remixed the hit song.

Esdee and Hakeem joined forces to make their own remix, which they released last night. YFS will also be performing at the Davido UK Tour this September in London.

Does this remix sit with Drake and Meek Mill's one? Hmm.. Decide for yourself..

New Video: YFS - Clique

"Clique" by Kanye West, Big Sean of G.O.O.D. Music and rapper Jay Z is one of the most popular and biggest hip hop songs out right now.

With a brand new remix for our ears, upcoming young London based, Afrobeat artists Esdee, Havoc, Maniac, 2Kriss and Ur Fresh Rich of "YFS" (Young, Free & Single) have done their own spin on the Hit-Boy produced anthem.

Obviously they're not new faces in the UK Afrobeat scene, as they've hit the stage at big events held at the Hammersmith HMV Apollo, O2 Academy and others just to name a few.

See why nobody is "fresher" than their Clique in their new viral video directed by AB Fresh.
