Masterkraft brings Nananii and Tiphyz together on his new single “Don’t Leave Me (Banging)”, a dance floor record. The groove moves fast and never really slows down.
Masterkraft handles the production himself, and the beat does most of the talking here. Melodies stick quickly, while the percussion keeps energy high throughout. Nananii and Tiphyz trade their parts with confidence and ride the rhythm instead of fighting it.
The track also sits on his album Light, where it appears alongside “Julie” and “Unruly”. That project places him firmly within the Afrobeats space he has helped shape for years. Besides producing, he is also a disc jockey, band director, pianist, and songwriter.
Born Sunday Ginikachukwu Nweke in Ajegunle, Lagos, he has spent years behind the boards for some of the biggest voices in Nigerian music. Pairing him with two rising acts gives this one a different kind of pull, yet the beat still carries everything.
For a producer with this much history, a record like this is familiar ground. Still, it shows how Afrobeats keeps absorbing new voices into its rhythm.
