Asake Releases Electrifying “BADMAN GANGSTA” Featuring French Rapper Tiakola
Nigerian serial hitmaker Asake has once again delivered an impressive anthem, “BADMAN GANGSTA,” an electrifying collaboration that sees him team up with acclaimed French rapper Tiakola. The track is a vibrant fusion of Afrobeat rhythms and street-smart lyricism, set to captivate audiences globally.
“BADMAN GANGSTA” serves as a powerful reintroduction of Asake as a true “Naija boy” (omo Naija), while simultaneously spotlighting Tiakola’s rich Congolese roots. Asake delivers his verses with his trademark Yoruba swagger, crafting melodic hooks that weave effortlessly through the beat’s gritty foundation. Complementing this, Tiakola contributes a verse packed with swift French bars, infusing an unexpected yet remarkably seamless international flair into the track.
One of the standout elements of “BADMAN GANGSTA” is its clever incorporation of a sample from Amerie’s iconic 2005 hit, “1 Thing,” adding a nostalgic yet fresh dimension to the sound. The collaboration is further enriched by its linguistic blend, seamlessly incorporating Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, and French, creating a fluid and captivating sonic fusion that transcends cultural boundaries.
The track’s undeniable energy is brought to life by the stellar production duo AoD and P.Priime. Their exceptional production work provides a dynamic backdrop for Asake and Tiakola, lifting the track with a nostalgic flair while expertly fusing the brooding energy of trap with an authentic street vibe.
“BADMAN GANGSTA” follows Asake’s earlier release “WHY LOVE” and his notable feature on J Hus’s hit “Gold,” further solidifying his consistent output and growing influence in the global music scene. This new anthem is poised to become another fan favorite, showcasing Asake’s versatility and his ability to create cross-cultural hits.
