Following The Success Of Nigerian Artist Icebeatchillz Debuted His Hit Single “Area” Featuring Beenie Man And Releases His New Single “Bad And Naughty”

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nigerian Artist/Producer IceBeatChillz (Ice) releases his new single “Bad and Naughty” featuring Wizkid’s protégé Terri. This new single follows the success of Ice’s 2020 debut single “Area” featuring Jamaican dance hall legend Beenie Man. According to The Hype Magazine, “AREA” has all the necessary ingredients to become Afro-Dancehall’s most powerful anthem of 2020.”

IceBeatChillz defines the new genre-bending sound of today. A multifaceted musician Ice is also a self-taught instrumentalist who layers up an Afro base with the sounds of different cultures. Ice’s new single “Bad and Naughty” is a perfect example of this cultural and sonic mixing incorporating a multitude of different elements to create his uniquely Afro based sound.

When asked about his second single release IceBeatChillz said, “I actually had the “Bad and Naughty” beat for several months, but I was sleeping one day and hearing this African percussive sound and flutes playing in my head with the melody, and when I woke up I went back to my old beat and started developing it. But when the story came in, Terri started out by saying “Girl it’s past 2:30 and I don maya” which is Nigerian Pidgin English for saying that you’re drunk, basically. And anything can happen, you know? (laughs) So in his drunkenness, the guy wants this girl he doesn’t know to take control and take whatever she wants. But I love to love, so most of my music will still have a romantic element in it, so when me and my team started writing, my guy went as far as falling in love with a stranger “Make it right / Hold me tight / I put my trust in you / Only for you.””

IceBeatChillz was born Emana Saintly in the small state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria, Ice began as a soccer player, whose shoulder injury (and love affair with music) prevented a professional soccer career. Instead, in 2013, despite discouragement and protests from his deeply religious community, Ice focused on developing his career as a music producer. However in order to take his first step to fully commit to his music Ice had to boarded the first bus to leave his villages of Akwa Ibom and drive 16-hours to the bustling city of Lagos to pursue his music career. After arriving in Lagos, Ice by chance stumbled into a meeting with the CEO of List Entertainment a reputable management Agency in Africa, credited for launching the careers of AfroBeat superstars like Wizkid and Diamond Platinumz. Following this chance meeting Ice was soon drafted to become one of the agency’s producers, producing under the moniker Chillings. While at the agency Ice was able to meet and connect with people and sounds from across the globe learning and picking up different influences from Asian Flutes to uniquely African percussions, Latin spices and more, culturally layering an Afro-Beats foundation, and giving birth to a fresh sound that is uniquely his own.
Following his time at List Entertainment, IceBeatChillz remained behind the scenes developing and producing Afro-Beat for emerging acts, including 2x Award Winning Afro-Fuji artist, Barry Jhay , Nigerian Alt-R&B artist Tems and more . A versatile and free soul, IceBeatChillz defies categorization and simply desires to make a powerful contribution to the world of music with fresh sounds to propel the African Music scene to new heights. And now with his new partnership with Crystal Clear Records, IceBeatChillz is putting himself front and center as an artist/producer bringing his unique sound to the forefront for the world to hear.

Crystal Clear Records (CCR) is the New Generation Cross-Over Record Label erasing musical borders and blurring cultural lines. Founded in 2019 by 3 nomadic travelers traversing far unknown places with nothing but a mysterious trust in the whimsical. The Jamaican-American duo Pamela and Krystale teamed up with Nigerian music producer and artist, Emana Saintly (IceBeatChillz) to launch Crystal Clear Records, an indie cross-over record label in New York, USA and Lagos, Nigeria.
