Chiney Kiki and Jupitar celebrate Black History Month with new song “One Lyf” – LISTEN

Chiney Kiki, US-based musician of both Ghanaian and Jamaican descent has recorded her first Major collabo with Jupitar.

The song is an inspirational urban Afrobeats song. Both artistes did awesome with resonating lyrics and melodies.
Chiney Kiki gives credit to Abeiku Santana on who’s show she met Jupitar during a live band session on Okay FM.
The song’s motivation came from hearing the beat from ’tulapro’ hook came first, at first mumbling “mi a live my life today cuz I get no oda, work hard as much as play, set goals and achieve one afta di oda” simply was meant to be a hustlers anthem, encouraging to work hard for what you want, kick back and watch your seeds grow — Chiney Kiki explains.

Though it’s not her first collabo, she however admits that it’s her first released collaboration with a/an (Ghanaian) musician.
