subsidiary, Temple Music (TMPL) and foremost American showbiz company, Roc
Nation.

of good music with the singer’s previous release of two hot tunes,
Shokolokobangoshe and Gbadun (Your Lovin). The new tunes have been getting
generous airplay across Nigeria.
In Lokoja, Jeff Akoh’s vocal dexterity is matched with the
experience of household names in music production including Oscar, Cobhams
Asuquo and Tee-Y Mix. The talented Temple Music singer also worked with
UK-based group, Team Salut, Rhyme Bamz, Benie Macaulay, and Pekeys,.

with several exciting music genres like R&B, Reggae, Pop, Afropop,
Afrobeats and House.
The singer reveals, “For me, Lokoja has been a rewarding
journey coming from Project Fame West Africa. I must recognize Ultima Limited
for laying the foundation. The title says it all. Lokoja is a confluence where
several rivers meet. Likewise, my album is the product of different influences
and genres that music lovers will appreciate. Please don’t take my word for
it.”
Also speaking, Mark Redguard, Head of Entertainment, TMC,
noted that Lokoja is more than just an album but is also a bold statement.
