Abuja-based Nigerian Afro-fusion artist FirstKlaz stays true to his Northern roots on “Salama,” a new single built around peace of mind and staying clear of unwanted trouble.
Monstersoundz handled production this time, a shift from Jazzworx, who produced his earlier record “Tsammani.” So “FirstKlaz Salama” arrives with a different sonic hand behind the boards, even as FirstKlaz keeps the same regional identity that’s defined his catalogue so far. The title itself, which translates to “peace” or “safety,” gives the record a grounded message before a single bar plays.
FirstKlaz has built momentum through a string of collaborations lately, including “Formular 1” with PsychoYP and “KUPE” alongside Khaid and OG Abbah. But “Salama” pulls the spotlight back fully onto him, no guest verse sharing the space this time. That solo return feels intentional, giving listeners a clearer read on where his artistry sits right now.
The Afro-fusion tag fits loosely across his output, blending regional dialect with wider Nigerian pop sensibilities. “Salama” continues that thread, positioning FirstKlaz as one of the more distinct voices coming out of Northern Nigeria’s growing music scene.
