Nigerian serial hitmaker Asake has released an impressive anthem, “BADMAN GANGSTA.”
Asake teams up with French rapper Tiakola to craft an electrifying anthem infused with Afrobeat rhythms and street-smart lyricism.
The track “BADMAN GANGSTA” is a song that reintroduces Asake as a Naija boy (omo Naija) while highlighting Tiakola’s Congolese roots.
Asake delivers his verses with trademark Yoruba swagger, his melodic hooks weaving effortlessly through the beat’s gritty foundation.
Tiakola delivers a verse packed with swift French bars, infusing an unexpected yet seamless international flair into the track.
Asake and Tiakola’s track “BADMAN GANGSTA” incorporates a sample from Amerie’s 2005 iconic hit “1 Thing.”
The collaboration between Asake and Tiakola blends Nigerian pidgin, Yoruba, and French, creating a fluid and captivating sonic fusion.
“BADMAN GANGSTA” is brought to life by the stellar production duo AoD and P.Priime, who provide a backdrop for Asake and Tiakola.
AoD and P.Priime’s exceptional production lifts the track with a nostalgic flair, fusing trap’s brooding energy with a street-authentic vibe.
In addition, “BADMAN GANGSTA” follows Asake’s earlier release “WHY LOVE” and his standout feature on J Hus’s hit “Gold.”
Quotable Lyrics:
I be ọmọ Naija o
Living my life mi o ṣa o
Padi mi raba mo n wa o
Carry your wahala go far o
Baby mi go down, low down
She love badman gangsta o
Elle aime les vrais gangstas
Ceux qui sont pas instables
Love street, love money, ma life
