UAX Releases Love & Hustle Deluxe — A Sonic Portrait of Lagos, Love, and the Hustle

Lagos-born, Canada based artist UAX has released Love & Hustle Deluxe, the extended version of his breakthrough project, offering a deeper, more expansive take on the sound and stories that launched him as one of the most exciting voices in Nigeria’s new wave.

With new features, sounds, and layers of vulnerability, Love & Hustle Deluxe builds on the spirit of the original capturing the raw energy of Lagos, the beauty of love, and the ever-present grind. Through this deluxe edition, UAX continues to blend R&B, House, Afrobeats, and personal reflection into a cohesive sonic identity.

“Love & Hustle was about survival and self-definition. The deluxe is about what happens when you let people in emotionally, creatively, and culturally,” says UAX. “It’s louder, softer, riskier, and more honest.”

Track Highlights:

• Koselomi Remix (feat. Ice Prince): A reimagining of the standout love track, this version pairs UAX’s emotional precision with Ice Prince’s legendary rap lines. A strong contender for a new lovers’ anthem.
• Certain (feat. Winny): A brand-new collaboration with rising star Winny, known for her raw vocal delivery and alt-leaning soul. This track is smoky, sensual, and sharp. The two artists trade verses in a simmering confession of desire.
• Beyond: A deeply personal cut where UAX speaks on his artistry and the respects it demands. The production is sparse and deliberate, putting storytelling front and center. It speaks to the heart of UAX. 
• Koselomi House Mix (feat. Kevin Lndn): An entrancing reinterpretation tailored for dance floors and twilight sets, Kevin Lndn infuses the track with afrohouse grooves, an unexpected but seamless blend that introduces UAX to global nightlife audiences.
• Wonderline: A dreamy, synth-laced standout that feels like the perfect soundtrack to a coming-of-age film. With shimmering production and nostalgic undertones, Wonderline evokes the spirit of self-discovery and fleeting summer highs. It’s the kind of track that stays with you long after the beat fades.
• Lagos 2 Crazy: A standout from the original album, this fan-favorite returns to the spotlight not with a remix, but with fresh energy and renewed intention. Anchored by a new three-part visual series and a raw, previously unreleased demo, the track is being reintroduced as the anthem it always was: a frenetic, heartfelt tribute to the beauty and madness of Lagos. UAX isn’t revising the song, he’s reminding us why it mattered in the first place.

Love & Hustle Deluxe is an honest, expansive body of work that affirms UAX as a bold new storyteller. With guest appearances that stretch across generations and sounds, the deluxe reflects both where UAX is coming from and where he’s headed.
