Iceprince, “Titilailai” ft. internationally acclaimed & multi-talented jazz artist and producer FemTones, who has worked with the likes of Amy Winehouse, George Benson and The Roots; "Baby" which she dedicated to her husband...

  Speaking of the video, Lami said, "i'm so naughty for delaying the release of this video till now. Truth is TeamLami really wanted to do a lot in a certain space of time. My focus has been on recording and making sure the album makes sense.”

“I had fun shooting with K9 ­ ­– as you can see, he's as unwell as I am so we had jokes for days! Please enjoy my silly side. Till the next release, be yourself and know God loves ya!”
