Jagonzy Teams With Tapolin And Escobaby To Serve Us Classy Hip Hop On “Times And SZNs” EP
Speechnation Records has released its first body of work for 2024. The oeuvre dubbed “Times and SZNs” is a five track Hiphop Extended Play. The project as headlined by seasoned entertainer, Jagonzy features promising artistes, Tapolin and Escobaby.
“Times and SZNs” is a project that highlights the importance of feelings and emotions. Painting a picture of how, when, and why we should extend ourselves grace to handle and overcome the many emotions and feelings of life.
Times & SZNs utilizes artistry to appeal to listeners’ emotions, across all cultures.
Reverencing the importance of staying alive and the reasons why it makes outmost sense to live, the EP further encourages the positivities of keeping on.
Through the well thought-out lyrics, “Times And SZNs” wishes to change the narrative that hoarding ‘bad energies’ inwardly is supreme.
“When you invest in your emotional health, it helps you to make the days count.
As a new leaf unfolds, a new chapter brings forth greatness and it is time to pick up those stones and turn them into precious jewels.
In everything there is a season and a time for every aspect of life”, “Time and SZNs” teaches.
The collection of songs is like a maze course that has every song connecting to the other. The combo of chill, calm, collected and hard hitting hip hop makes the EP a mixture of bliss and limestones giving peace and encouraging listeners to surge on.

- Page 1
This is page 1, a new leaf and a new chapter. This is the phase of positivity, self motivation, and self reflection. What we couldn’t accomplish last year; 2024 has to be that year by all means. A year to grow, heal, plan, and prepare for the better days.
- Healing
You cannot transition in to the next phase without healing from the past, forgiving, and having a clear heart and mind. Without investing in the inner work, it’s gonna be hard to achieve greater heights.
- No New Friends
As we rewrite page 1 and heal. This year, we pause and make no new friends. We have seen the bad ones from afar, this year we are tightening all nuts and bolts. We are keeping our circle close knit and intentional. Only keeping those who’ve seen and supported the process of building from scratch and have continued to remain solid are locked in.
- Manifestation
In the course of everything that’s brought us to where we are: feelings, thoughts, and our beliefs all bring us closer to our physical reality. We have leaned into manifestation and kept our eyes on what’s ahead of us. Greatness and determination from all pages, phases, seasons, and times of our lives have brought us this far.
- Revelation
Every beginning has an end. But on this journey of finding our revelation, we are moving to a different dimension. Revealing and communicating with our inner thoughts. In the book of revelation what describes us? It describes that if we do the work required to take care of ourselves with intentionality, love for self and neighbor; we are setting ourselves up for paradise.
It is the hope that every day you are putting in the work to create mental, emotional, and physical paradise for yourself to enjoy this Times & SZNS.

Pioneering the Afro-gospel music genre in Ghana, Joseph Matthew is breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes in the music industry.
In a recent interview with Metro TV, the talented artist boldly shared his thoughts on the rigid expectations placed on Gospel musicians in terms of dressing and style. He argued that it’s limiting and demeaning to condemn artists who don’t fit the traditional mold, simply because of their appearance or sound.
Using his own experience as an example, Joseph Matthew revealed that some gatekeepers in the industry have rejected him due to his dreadlocks and unconventional sound, which deviates from the typical Gospel music norm. He emphasized that what truly matters is the message of hope and redemption, not the messenger’s appearance or style.
Joseph Matthew’s courageous stance is a breath of fresh air in an industry often bound by tradition. He’s paving the way for a new generation of Gospel artistes to express themselves authentically, without fear of judgment or rejection.
Joseph Matthew also hinted in the interview that he has a virtual concert and an album up to come.
Watch the interview from below.
In the meantime, be sure to check out his latest single, “Promise Land,” a soul-stirring anthem that embodies the essence of Afro-gospel music.

Big Rain: The Afrobeats Artiste on a Mission to Spread Love and Positivity Through His Catchy Tunes
As a rising star in the Afrobeats scene, Big Rain is spreading love and positivity through his music, leaving a lasting impact on fans and critics alike.
Christened Paul Raymond Osemudiame, Big Rain was born on June 12th, 1995, in the vibrant city of Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. His early life was filled with the sweet sounds of jazz, reggae, and gospel music, courtesy of his music-loving parents, who encouraged his passion for music. He spent hours listening to the likes of Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson, studying their craft and learning from their legacies.
Big Rain’s musical journey began in the church choir, where he honed his vocal skills and developed a deep appreciation for the power of music to uplift and inspire. As he grew older, he began writing his own songs, pouring his heart and soul into every lyric and melody.
After exploring the world of business, Big Rain returned to his first love, music, in 2023, and the result was nothing short of magic. His debut project, “Lifestyle,” released on November 12th, 2023, was a resounding success, garnering impressive numbers and earning him a loyal fan base. The song’s catchy beat and inspiring lyrics resonated with listeners from all walks of life, cementing Big Rain’s place as a rising star in the Afrobeats scene.
Since then, he has released five more songs, each one a testament to his creative genius and dedication to his craft. His music is a fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and pop, with lyrics that speak to the human experience, love, and self-empowerment. With his unique sound and style, Big Rain is poised to take the music industry by storm.
Inspired by the legendary likes of Fela Kuti, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley, Ray Jay believes that music should be a powerful tool for spreading love and goodwill. With this in mind, he has pioneered a sub-genre under Afrobeats, dubbed “Afrolove,” aimed at sharing love and positivity through his music. His mission is to use his platform to inspire and uplift others, promoting unity and togetherness through the universal language of music.
As we eagerly await his next release, “Sere,” dropping on May 18th, 2024, we can’t help but feel excited for what the future holds for this talented artiste.
With his passion, creativity, and dedication, Ray Jay is sure to continue making waves in the music industry and inspiring fans around the world.
