About the breakthrough song Top Boy
Top Boy is an Afrobeat music that talks about how I feel ,who I am and also what I stand for.
“Working on this single was live changing” — I met real people who came through for me in the production of this gem.
“The plan was to talk about myself And I how feel”.
The song embodies the English and Yoruba language with a slight addition of pidgin. This identities the African and Nigeria culture.
