Showbezzy has linked up with GLOBALBOY COLLIN, LAMI JNR and YOUTH GOD for a gritty sequel titled “Akata II.”
The posse cut lives on his album Lonely at the Top, and it arrives while West African street-pop fans hunt for raw, bounce-heavy choruses. Drill heads get something too, because the record leans into trench resilience and relentless ambition. It also carries a strong dose of street solidarity.
Showbezzy is a member of the 2Hype Gang, and “Akata II” puts that crew energy on full display. He enlists three heavyweights of lyricism here. Instead of chasing a soft hook, the four artists turn the studio session into an unashamed statement of supremacy.
The sound architect builds a forceful mid-tempo atmosphere underneath them. Hammering kick drums and snappy hi-hat rolls push the pace, while rolling subterranean sub-bass lines keep the low end moving. Spacious engineering leaves generous headroom in the mix, so every raspy bar and gritty punchline lands with clarity.
Showbezzy’s textured rasp runs all over the middle eight. GLOBALBOY COLLIN, LAMI JNR and YOUTH GOD then trade scorching cadences and snappy wordplay of their own.
