rap, Laid-back West Coast bounce with swingy drums, rubbery sub-bass, and clean sine-lead hooks. Male vocals, half-sung Yoruba and pidgin cadences with call-and-response ad-libs. Verses ride a sunny, head-nod pocket; hook widens with stacked gang-style chants and octave doubles. Subtle high-pitched pads in the back, crisp claps, and a touch of tape saturation for grit.
