10 Most Chaotic Afrobeats Songs

Share

OZEBA — Rema

OZEBA is one of the songs on Rema’s “HEIS” album, and it means “to enter trouble.” This song’s on the same energy level with “God of Elijah, send down fire.”

Unripe Pawpaw — Zlatan

Good luck to anyone who can find out what Zlatan meant by “unripe pawpaw” in this song that has nothing to do with fruits, but throwing legwork all day.

Kolomental — Faze

Before music listeners called Rema’s “HEIS” album the music for mad people, Faze declared listeners should dance like crazy people to his Kolomental jam. You may need to check yourself for “kolomental” if you’re feeling this song too much.

Fokasibe — DJ Zeez

We wonder what kind of headspace DJ Zeez was in when he turned the statement that literally means “Your head has scattered” into a compliment for being a trendy person. We call it “Sability” now tho.

Ladi — Phyno & Olamide featuring Lil Kesh

It was a dark time when Olamide, Phyno and Lil Kesh made a song against cunnilingus. Thank God they weren’t speaking for the real eaters. Hopefully they see the light now.

Run Mad — Terry G

Terry G has only one message in this lousy, hyper-fast song: “Catch me if you can.” But he found a creative way to deliver it: “You can only run, run, run / Run, run, run pass Terry G when you run mad.” Except you’re “losing it,” you have no reason to tussle this bragging rights with the Akpako Master.

Free Madness (Part 1) — Terry G

Don’t bother to find any train of thought in Terry G’s Free Madness, else you’ll get lost. It’s a mixture of every random and unplanned ideas that popped up in his head. Little wonder he called it “free madness” instead of a “freestyle.”

ZaZoo Zeh — Portable featuring Olamide & Poco Lee

Since this song pushed Portable to the mainstream, no other Nigerian artist has been as restless as him.

Banger — Skuki

This isn’t an end-of-the-year song or an anthem about throwing Christmas lights. The “banger” Skuki wants to launch is the thing between their legs. Scary and shameless.
