Ayo Maff and Zinoleesky have joined forces for a brand-new street-pop single titled “Malaria.” Released through Oceanstreet Creative and EMPIRE, the track turns the idea of love into an infectious metaphor, with the catchy hook: “Love na malaria, and e go catch you one day.”

Built on a smooth midtempo bounce, “Malaria” highlights the contrasting styles of both artists. Ayo Maff delivers deeper, baritone-leaning verses, while Zinoleesky brings his signature melodic touch to the chorus, creating an engaging vocal balance throughout the record.

The collaboration brings together two artists who have continued to make their mark in Nigeria’s evolving street-pop scene. Ayo Maff gained wider attention following his breakout collaboration with Fireboy DML on “Dealer” and has since continued his run with projects including Maffian and his growing “Prince of the Street” identity.

Zinoleesky, meanwhile, has built a strong reputation for his melodic delivery and memorable hooks, becoming a sought-after voice on collaborations across the Nigerian music scene.

With its recurring “love and malaria” concept, infectious chorus and complementary performances, “Malaria” adds another exciting release to both artists’ growing catalogues and is set to connect with fans of contemporary Afrobeats and street-pop.

THANKS FOR YOU TIME!!!
