Bella Shmurda and Fola Deliver Confident Anthem “Dangbana Riddim”
Bella Shmurda and Fola have reunited for another electrifying collaboration, “Dangbana Riddim,” a mid-tempo Afrobeat track that celebrates the journey of hustling for success and the hard-earned recognition that follows. Building on their previous successes, this new release exudes confidence and acknowledges the struggles that paved the way.
“Dangbana Riddim” is a powerful ode to the grind, capturing the mindset of a young hustler driven to overcome poverty and provide for loved ones, especially “mummy.” The track’s lyrics, including lines like “Tell me what to do, na to make this dollar” and “Ki mummy shati wapa, ko dejora,” reveal a deep sense of purpose rooted in love and responsibility. The recurring phrase “Omo ologo” (child of glory) adds a layer of pride and self-assurance, reinforcing the song’s celebratory tone.
Musically, “Dangbana Riddim” features a compelling blend of mid-tempo Afrobeat grooves, rhythmic percussion, subtle highlife guitars, and dancehall-inspired vocal cadences. This unique fusion creates a sound that is both bouncy and grounded, making it perfect for both introspective listening and energetic dance floor moments.
This collaboration showcases the artists’ ability to craft a track that is both relatable and celebratory, resonating with listeners who understand the dedication and resilience required to achieve their dreams.
