Recently updated and stacked at 25 carefully selected tracks, the playlist opens with Trez-M’s “COMMOTION” placed confidently at track #1 — a clear editorial cue that this record sets the temperature for everything that follows.

Who Is Trez-M?

Trez-M is the professional stage name of a Nigerian Afro-R&B/Afro-Beat artist steadily building momentum across digital platforms. While his full legal name is not publicly disclosed on DSP profiles or official metadata, his artistic identity is clearly defined through his sound — controlled, groove-driven, and emotionally aware.

Rather than leaning into excess or volume, Trez-M represents a new class of African artists focused on feel, pacing, and replay value. His work reflects intention: music designed to move listeners without overwhelming them, and to stay relevant beyond first play.

Over the past few years, Trez-M has released music consistently, allowing his audience to grow with him rather than chase trends. That steady approach culminates in “COMMOTION,” a record that positions him as a natural fit for mood-based editorial spaces like In the Mood.

Why Trez-M Is the Face of In the Mood

Trez-M’s appeal lies in his ability to move the room while keeping the vibe intact. His sound lives on the modern Afro spectrum — rhythmic and percussive at its core, but softened by melodic restraint that keeps it endlessly replayable.

“COMMOTION” captures this balance perfectly. On Hafrikplay, the song is framed as Afro-R&B, while across other platforms it comfortably falls under Afro-Beat / Afrosounds. That fluid classification speaks volumes: Trez-M’s music travels easily between groove, pop structure, and R&B emotion without losing identity.

This versatility makes him ideal as the face of In the Mood. He doesn’t interrupt the listening experience — he anchors it.

The Trez-M Sound: Afro-Beat Pulse, R&B Feeling, Pop Clarity

It’s easy to label Trez-M simply as “Afrobeats,” but the details reveal more nuance. His records consistently carry:

Afro-Beat bounce tempo and rhythm built for movement

R&B lean  smooth phrasing and melodic choices, especially evident on “COMMOTION”

Modern Afro Sounds flexibility music that fits naturally into Afrobeats, Afropop, chill, and mood-driven playlists

This balance explains his growing editorial appeal. Trez-M understands restraint  and restraint is what keeps a playlist cohesive.

A Quick Look at the Run So Far

Trez-M’s catalogue reflects intentional growth rather than saturation. Key releases include “Too Bad” (2023), “Something” (2024), the “Hold Me Down | John Cena” two-pack (2024), leading into “COMMOTION” (2025).

This release pattern aligns with what listeners reward: consistency, familiarity, and evolution without losing sonic identity. His sound evolves, but it remains recognizable — a critical trait for long-term relevance.

How to Listen to In the Mood

Start at the top and let it run. The sequencing matters. Opening with “COMMOTION” makes it immediately clear that this playlist isn’t sleepy — it’s smooth with intent.

Because In the Mood gently explores multiple lanes Afro-pop, alt-leaning records, reflective cuts, and rhythm-forward tracks — it’s designed to feel like one continuous vibe, not a random collection of songs.

Final Word

In the Mood is Hafrikplay doing what strong editorial should always do: curate a feeling, not just a list. And with Trez-M at the front, it becomes a snapshot of a specific kind of African pop future — danceable, melodic, emotionally aware, and built for replay.
