ABANGSAPAU most recently released the music video for ‘Boyhood’, his latest single featuring singer-songwriter Charlie Lim. Released on January 28, it was his second single with Def Jam Southeast Asia since signing with the label in 2021, and saw the rapper telling a story about the struggles of growing up.

Ghanian-Singaporean R&B singer KEYANA has been working on her debut album, which is due to be released sometime later this year. Back in October 2021, she released the first single from the upcoming LP, the reflective and intimate ‘Afterglow’, which was recorded with Grammy-nominated producer JT Gagarin, whose past collaborations include SZA, 6LACK, and Jhene Aiko.

British multi-instrumentalist ROMderful and “more international and regional names” also make an appearance on the as-yet-untitled album.
