Kellyyung Unveils Genre-Blending EP “Love Hate Lust”

Nigerian Afro-fusion artist Kellyyung is set to drop his most personal project yet, Love Hate Lust, on October 25, 2025 — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most emotionally raw releases of the year. The EP isn’t just music; it’s a full-blown exploration of what it means to be human — the thrill, the pain, and the chaos of love, hate, and lust, all wrapped in a lush blend of Afrobeats, R&B, and trap-inspired rhythms.

Born Morrison Dale in Udu, Delta State, Kellyyung’s story is one of perseverance and pure heart. From crafting playful melodies as a child to recording with Peruzzi back in 2019, his journey has been far from linear — filled with financial struggles, creative breakthroughs, and an unrelenting passion that’s clearly paid off. Love Hate Lust feels like a turning point for him — a project that doesn’t just tell his story, but mirrors the universal struggle between vulnerability and strength.

Each track hits differently. From the gritty bounce of “Alaye”, packed with heavy bass and street attitude, to the moody, ethereal “Maya”, where Kellyyung lets his introspection shine, the EP captures emotional extremes without losing groove. There’s even a standout collaboration with Maxi Kabiesi of Chocomilo fame, adding extra energy to the mix. With production from Henry Keys, Boucci Beats, Elvis Beatz, and Suka Sounds, every song feels like its own universe — meticulously layered but emotionally raw.

A standout moment in the project’s creation came from a rainy-night freestyle on a balcony, which later evolved into the heartfelt track “Again”. It’s these organic touches that make Love Hate Lust feel alive — a reflection of real experiences rather than a polished facade.

More than anything, Kellyyung’s EP embodies the duality of emotion — how love can hurt, lust can heal, and hate can sometimes spark growth. It’s a project that encourages you to dance, feel, and reflect all at once — a rare balance in today’s scene.
