Nigerian Breakout Star @ckay_yo Drops New Single "By Your Side" Featuring @blxckie___

Nigerian singer-songwriter CKay, presents his hot new single titled ‘BY YOUR SIDE’. CKay is no stranger to making amazing music and both songs are a fitting follow up to the global chart topping ‘love nwantiti’ and his 2021 EP ‘Boyfriend’. Since that EP release, CKay has gone on to become one of the biggest stars in the world, boasting #1’s across the globe including a Global Shazam #1 with ‘love nwantiti’.

Last week saw CKay hit over 1 billion career streams, whilst he now boasts over 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

‘BY YOUR SIDE’ features South African rapper Blxckie and produced by Tumisho, whose current single ‘Sax Dance’ has gained popularity on TikTok. This banger has strong Amapiano influences that CKay seamlessly bodies and stamps with his emo -afro beats signature. Blxckie contributes his effortless flow on the track in both Zulu and English, providing the song with an additional take on the romantic situation. ‘BY YOUR SIDE’ was influenced by CKay having to make a decision between two girls. Although the situation was a bit messy, he ended making the right decision.

Recorded in both Nigeria and South Africa, both songs embody African music with a sound that travels across borders.
