Bella Shmurda, also known as Fine Boy Bella has been one artiste to keep an eye on since 2019 at the least.
The hip-hop rapper and songwriter really blew up in the spotlight in 2019 after the remix of his song Vision 2020 hit the airwaves. He featured popular dancer Poco Lee and industry favorite, Olamide which led to the public instantly falling in love with his style.
Since that time, he has dropped a slew of hit songs including Cash App and has appeared on several collaborations with artistes like Dangbana Republik and Masterkraft. And has appeared in collaborative efforts like on Olamide’s Carpe Diem album.
Still riding the wave of his Next rated win at the headies awards, Bella Shmurda has released his latest Project High Tension 2.0 as a sequel to this previous ep which he dropped in 2020, High Tension. This project is a sort of bend in the road when it comes to Bella’s regular style. He is not afraid to call out some topics and at the same time, he is approaching the music from a different angle. Regular fans will feel like they have met a new artiste with the way that he weaves new ideas and lyrics over both sloe paced and fast bests to entertain and encourage his audience.
Here is a quick look at the tracks on the ep:
Out There

He understands the hardships and pressures he faced before the fame and this song is like a word of encouragement to those still in the grinding phase. He also understands that there are those who are still going through those struggles he has overcome and this song is a toast to them.

Soldier Go
This is a pretty love song from Bella Shmurda to his love interest produced by Fancy Beatz. This track is a more upbeat one than the first two.

Far Away
