Zaza Fest, released on 10 January 2025, shows Monaky’s neat balance of soft rhythm and sharp storytelling. With features from Lil Kesh and Jeriq, the EP carries a fuller sound that mixes calm delivery with street-ready flavour.
The songs explore ambition, steady growth, and the everyday push that shapes young people across Nigeria. Monaky keeps the messages clear, letting the production guide the mood without noise. “Run” remains one of the highlights. Its calm rhythm and reflective style capture the heart of Zaza Fest, making it a memorable closing piece for listeners.
As a full project, Zaza Fest feels complete. The flow is smooth, the themes connect, and the sound stays fresh from start to finish. It is Monaky’s most grounded work so far.
