AKA releases two new songs ahead of album release
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
AKA just dropped two brand new songs, 'Beyonce' and 'Amen' featuring L-Tido.
AKA is gearing up for the release of his new album, 'Touch My Blood', and he already has his fans excited ahead of its June 15 debut.
The rapper released two new songs off the album on Thursday. One song is called 'Beyonce', which is allegedly about his ex-girlfriend Bonang Matheba, who is also known as Queen B.
Some of the song's lyrics include, "How you gonna be my fiancé living like Rihanna thinking you Beyonce", and "When I left my baby mama I thought you would be my soulmate".
AKA released 'Amen' featuring L-Tido, shortly after premiering 'Beyonce'. Both songs are available on iTunes and Spotify.
The 'Congratulate' hitmaker also shared an image of the album's full tracklist. The offering's back cover art features an image of his daughter Kairo staring at a mirror.
AKA's fans can't stop raving about his new music. Here's what some of them had to say:
AKA - #Beyonce 🔥🔥😭

AKA seemed overwhelmed by all the love and showed off his humble side.
"Thank You. A lot of people tweeting me calling me a genius. While I appreciate it ... I’d be ignorant & arrogant to think that this gift comes from me. God is a genius. Not me," he tweeted.
