Bling TV & Media has just given us a new song to obsess over, and if you haven't heard it yet, you're missing out. Two weeks ago, Hanna teamed up with Negus to release their track, 'Astenkeko' (አስጠንቅቆ), and it's quickly becoming a standout in the current music scene.

 
'Astenkeko' brings a fresh, crisp energy that blends Ethiopian hip-hop and R&B in a really compelling way. Hanna's vocal performance is captivating, and when Negus drops his verse, the track gets that extra layer of grit and rhythm. It genuinely feels like a new wave of Ethiopian music polished, confident, and ready for a global audience.

 
The production, courtesy of Bling Records, is top-notch. It's clean, modern, and perfectly sets the stage for the artists to shine. The song's title, which translates roughly to "Warning" or "Caution," hints at a powerful message, and the artists deliver a performance that lives up to that intensity.

 
If you’re looking to refresh your playlist, this is the one to hit. It’s a great example of the high-quality music video production and talent coming out of Bling TV & Media's focus on showcasing Ethiopian artists.
