It is every musician’s dream for their music to be well-received by listeners and by so doing, establish a connection between them whereby the listener becomes a fan of the artiste, giving their full support whenever is required.

Hanu Jay and DMW star Mayorkun have collaborated for ‘Insane‘, the first single off Hanu Jay’s forthcoming EP “Wow, {Can I Blow Your Mind}“. The mid-tempo production made by Sally features affectionate verses from both artists, who croon lines like “the way you dancing, the way you smiling girl, it’s bursting my brain Hallelujah, I’m saved girl, you driving me insane.”

Hanu Jay has been coming for a while. Since 2018, the prolific musician has released songs cut from everyday Nigerian life, evoking the pleasures of a public moment shared with friends and some alcohol. Last year, Hanu Jay scored his break by appearing alongside DJ Consequence on “Uber‘, a creeping record that became a standout from “Vibes From the Future“, earning an unforgettable video and consolidating Hanu Jay’s position as a talent to be looked out for.
