JOSHUA DENILA Unveils A Journey of Self-Discovery With New Afrobeat EP No Money, No Honey

In a world where music often serves as a mirror to the soul, JOSHUA DENILA delivers a heartfelt narrative with his debut EP, No Money, No Honey, released on September 1st, 2025. This afrobeat-infused project is more than just a collection of songs, it’s a vibrant testament to breaking free, finding strength, and embracing authenticity.

No Money, No Honey captures a pivotal moment in JOSHUA DENILA’s life, where a life-altering decision to leave a co-dependent relationship sparked a creative awakening. The EP’s candid title reflects the realization that true artistic freedom stems from self-reliance, not romantic ties. Each track weaves a chapter of this journey, from the aching vulnerability of Empty Pockets to the triumphant self-love of My Own Honey. The lyrics, unfiltered and deeply personal, resonate with anyone who’s ever faced tough choices to reclaim their independence. Far from a bitter breakup record, No Money, No Honey is an anthem of empowerment, celebrating the courage to prioritize a more authentic life.

JOSHUA DENILA’s music has always been a sanctuary for processing life’s highs and lows. Starting as a way to articulate emotions he struggled to express in words, his afrobeat storytelling blends intimate acoustic vibes with subtle electronic flourishes. The result is a sound that feels both personal and expansive, inviting listeners into his world. Before this EP, JOSHUA DENILA released a handful of standalone singles, early sketches of his evolving artistry. No Money, No Honey marks his first polished project, a milestone that showcases his growth as a musician and storyteller.

Using his real name, JOSHUA DENILA, the artist keeps it authentic, letting his music reflect the honesty of his experiences. The overwhelming response to No Money, No Honey has been a career-defining moment, with fans sharing how its relatable narratives have soundtracked their own journeys of self-discovery. This connection with listeners has made every late-night writing session and moment of vulnerability worth it.

Tech Founder Joseph Hogan Turns Down HostAfrica’s Offer to Keep HoganHost Independent

Joseph Effiok Hogan, the tech entrepreneur behind HoganHost, has declined an acquisition offer from HostAfrica, choosing instead to keep his fast-rising company independent as it pursues its vision of becoming Africa’s leading hosting provider.
