Last Friday, Berlin-based Kenyan alt pop enigma KABEAUSHÉ dropped the quirkily titled "KABEAUSHÉ PRESENTS: IGGY SWAGGERING UNGRATEFUL INCESSANT LITTLE PEEEAAAAAAA", an 11-track album.

Dropped before 2025's last festive haze, "Free Time", a 5-track EP by Afro fusion artist @tungiwithaG, caught our attention.
