Ckay debuts with ‘Nkechi Turn up’

Chocolate City’s newest signing, Ckay, is out with his first official single, ‘Nkechi Turn Up.’ The singer and producer was officially unveiled by Chocolate City in August, and has been working since then. But he had earlier been a core member of the CBN Movement prior to signing for the label and had earlier released some songs under his ‘Photocopy Series’.
Just 21-year-old, he already has production credits to songs like ‘Give Them,’ by Koker; ‘Miracle,’ by Dice Ailes and Lil Kesh, Ice Prince and Korede Bello’s ‘Chike’, Oritsefemi and Skales’ ‘Zangarewa’ among others.
With ‘Nkechi Turn Up,’ Ckay is set to be a force to be reckoned with, as the song has been quickly described as a “hustler’s anthem.”
He explained, “The mid-tempo song is a good track about the celebration of success in the market place, after much hard work and the grace of God. It is a song to entertain and encourage. The sound is street, but the vibe is universal. ‘Nkechi Turn Up is basically Afro-pop and it is greatly inspired by highlife, with tinges of the up and coming Alkayida sound. I intends to keep making songs that go between western and local sounds.”
‘Nkechi Turn Up’ was produced by Tempo and Ckay himself, while the video, which was directed by Theophilus King, would be released pretty soon.
