Nigerian artist Shallipopi keeps his run of odd titles and playful slang going as he drops “UP (Transovania)” for listeners.
The track sits as the second cut on his three-song EP “WayWard,” which runs about nine minutes in total. The other songs on the project are “.com” and “OGO.” Since 93, a division of Sony Music UK, handles the release, while Professor X and Tudor Munroe are credited with production.
On “UP (Transovania),” the lyrics lean on rocket ships and going higher. Wealth, enjoyment, and street confidence come up too, so it lands as a party record with a cartoon sci-fi coat. Chants hold it together, and lines about going “up, up, and away” repeat until they stick. He keeps his usual conversational flow, and slang plus wordplay take the place of a strict rap structure. It is short, silly, and built for repeat plays.
Shallipopi, born Crown Uzama, broke through with “Elon Musk” in 2023. Since then, the Pluto Presido has built a name on odd titles and playful slang, and this middle cut fits that habit without straining for a serious statement.
