Characteristic of what they're already known for, this song is totally out of this world. The song features two members of the clique: Kinsu & Nolly. The song is a perfect blend of reggae and hip hop that'll appeal to lovers of both genres.  CIA is sure you've never heard it this good before.

few others, he started writing his own songs and lacing lyrics to beats. Jhiedy has a powerful voice and a stage presence that is equally large.

4. Emmanuel Hero - Nara Ekele

6. Femi Okunuga - Emi Orun (Holy Spirit)

Femi Okunuga, is not just an Artiste, but also a Producer, a backup singer who has worked with Great Gospel Ministers as Funke Akinokun, Bukola Bekes, Femi Micah, Efe Nathan, House of Psalms, Deiko; a Mixing Engineer, a Music Director of RCCG Dominion Cathedral LP12, a member of RCCG Praise Team and a Minister of God.

"Emi Orun" is a song that was inspired by "Emi Orun" HIMSELF. In Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." On the day of Pentecost, while the disciples gathered in the upper room, a mighty rushing wind filled the room and tongues of fire rested upon them and they were filled with the Holy Spirit as they spoke in other tongues.  "Emi Orun" is a plea to God to refill us with the Holy Spirit. Most of the tragedies, crisis, calamity and disasters we are facing in this world are because most people have lost that fellowship with God. "Emi Orun" is asking God to rekindle the Holy Spirit in us.

The Song is produced by one of Nigeria's finest Producers "CreativeMyind" @juwonjayjay, mixed by Oluwadamilare Akinyede and Femi Okunuga at AlphaJunes Studio and Mastered by Grammy Award Winning Mastering Engineers of Abbey Roads Mastering Studio, United Kingdom.
