Nigerian producer and DJ Sarz collaborated with international dubstep sensation Skrillex and Nigerian singer/songwriter Crayon to drop an exciting new single called "Yo Fam!". The electrifying track is what Afrobeats and dancefloor smash hits are made of and is another indicator that international artists are making a big dent on the global music scene.
"Yo Fam!" is the debut single from Sarz's eagerly awaited album, scheduled for release next year. This single is also important because it marks Sarz's cross-over from a producer to an artist. The single carries elements of afro-fusion and a blend of several other genres. Crayon's rhythmic vocals seamlessly complement Sarz's captivating production, while Skrillex's contribution ties the irresistible dance elements of the song together.
