Mista Silva Turns Up The Heat in His Video For "Murda"

Did … did someone say fire?

Look, alright. We know it's cold outside. Still, that doesn't mean it's impossible to feel some warmth, an imagined dream of golden sun rays falling down from the sky and on to your head.

Presenting, then: Mista Silva's "Murder". Given that Mista Silva is pioneering figure in the UK afrobeats scene (and was nominated for his third MOBO this year), it's perhaps understandable that his latest track stretches toward the top level of a thermometer. That said, no one knew it was going to be this much fire.

Produced by Fanatix, "Murda" is an infectious, sweating banger that encapsulates why afrobeats has been popping off. "Back with the heat like sunburn", Silva raps on the intro, "kill everything that's standard". If you missed him perform at our Noisey Lagos party a week or two ago, you're in luck because the video for "Murda" is premiering via our YouTube below. Watch on and feel the heat flood back into your bones.
