DJ Tunez and Terry Apala link up on a fresh new record called “Apala Groove.” The pairing runs deeper than a one-off studio session, because both men have built careers around the same rhythmic instincts. Here, the vocal is the story. Terry Apala does not just ride the beat, he bends it to his cadence.
His delivery carries that street-level grit fans know from his Apala fusions. The phrasing stays loose but deliberate, so every line lands with weight. DJ Tunez, signed to Wizkid’s Starboy Entertainment since 2015, keeps the production lean enough to let that voice breathe. The track sits on his upcoming “In Tunez We Trust” EP.
The DJ’s recent run includes “SOUTH GIDI” and “One Condition,” while his earlier project “Cruise Control Vol.1” showed the same ear for fusion. Terry Apala, meanwhile, remains one of the few voices tied so tightly to indigenous sounds. Demand for him has not cooled, because few artists can move between heritage and club tempo this smoothly.
Records like this remind listeners that Afrobeats still draws from older wells.
