His new single "Higher Ground" comes from the project SON NOVA which is the brainchild of two industry heavy weights ONE SON and DJ CASSANOVA. The song features Nigerian artist Olawale who was the winner of project fame in Nigeria. 

"Higher Ground" bridges the gap combing Hip Hop with Afrobeat done before but not quite like this.
