Killertunes collaborates with riding trailblazer BZ on awesome new single "Shy" which features Not3s

Publish date: 2024-06-19

Released earlier this month, Killertunes has collaborated with the rising talent BZ for their new single, titled “Shy”, which features Not3s. Several sessions took place at London’s Platoon7’s studio, to create this song. This is the official first single from Killertunes’ forthcoming sophomore album “KillaXtra 2”. It follows up Killertunes’ feature on the remix to InDiscov’s single “Excuse” alongside Sunchris and Naelz; it follows up BZ’s collaboration with DreamHou$e on the single “A Virada”; and it also became a double drop for Not3s as he also released the single “so far gone” in a collaboration with Mayorkun.

Killertunes, real name Otaniyen-Uwa Daniel, is an award-winning producer and songwriter who has been part of some of the biggest continental hits and has become a celebrated artist in Africa. His ability to bring Afrobeats to the forefront has led to him collaborating with the likes of Wizkid, Olamide, Mr Eazi, and Tiwa Savage. He moved to Lagos in 2014 to pursue a career in music and it led to him working with Timaya in 2016 and then to him signing a management deal with DJ Spinall. He soon emerged as an artist in his own right, going on to drop the hit “Light Up” which was a collaboration with Sha Sha, Walshy Fire, and the global DJ star, Like Mike. He is rising quickly with hundreds of thousands of streams to his name; he’ll soon become the Afrobeats producer with a globally viral hit!

As for BZ, he is a native South London rapper who already has an addictive track to his name. “2 G’s” has quickly become his most-streamed single on Spotify, at just over 2.1 million streams, and was featured in the Netflix TV series, Top Boy. His ability to mix his rapping skills with Afrobeats is making him someone to watch as the quickly rising genre pairs well with the likes of hip-hop. His viral track also put him in front of some of the top people in the industry, so we better all watch this space as BZ brings fire to every track he releases.

Then there’s the super talented, Not3s, whose real name is Lukman Olanrewaju Odunaike, he is a huge Afrobeats artist and went worldwide with his collaborations with Mabel on the singles “My Lover” and “Fine Line”. With millions of streams to his name, he continues to prove to the world that he is one of the leading Afrobeats artists around at the moment. He first broke on to the music scene as a teenager and soon made an impact in the UK, going on to chart in 2017 with the likes of “Addison Lee (Peng Ting Called Madison)” and “Aladdin” as well as his collaboration with Mostack, titled “99 + 1”, and let’s not forget the awesome feature on Steel Banglez’s song “Bad” alongside Yungen, MoStack, and Mr Eazi. His ability to take his Nigerian roots and create a modern pop sound that is targeted towards the British music scene flawlessly showcases his talent. His highest charting tracks on the UK official singles chart are his songs with Mabel, but it’s his feature on AJ Tracey’s single “Butterflies”, which charted at number 19, has surpassed his Mabel collaborations in terms of Spotify streams, going on to earn a massive 115.7 million streams. He continues to make a huge impact within the music industry, and we’re eager to watch how his career continues to progress.

Written by Lukman Olanrewaju Odunaike and Otaniyen-Uwa Daniel, whilst it has been produced by Killertunes, “Shy” is an addictive, rhythmic Afrobeats track that is determined to get stuck in your head – that chorus is fire! Fuelled with emotion and feeling, these artists know exactly how to get a track over to their listeners. We feel the lyrics as they mention earning money and living their life and how others from the past can try to drag them back or ask for handouts, they then surround those lyrics with lyrics about women and how they want a confident woman on their side but someone who is also loyal – they don’t have time for timewasters. Creative from the lyrics to the production, “Shy” is an unstoppable track. We’re totally excited to hear Killertunes’ full upcoming second studio album, “KillaXtra 2”.
