Controversial street-hop star and Zazuu singer Portable is back with a new energetic record titled “O Wise”. And this latest track arrives precisely on time for the street scene’s craving for raw Lagos energy.
The release comes at a time when fans are yearning for the real streetwise wisdom of trench figures. Portable’s career has been founded on his outspoken demeanor and viral street anthems. So he handles false buddies and street lessons in his normal crazy style on this joint.
The producer builds an extremely energetic soundscape around clattering kick beats and harsh street snares. He lays down fast Afro-fusion rhythms, and aggressive synth loops to keep the tempo moving quickly. But the percussion pattern is still well-defined so his vocal strength owns the whole rhythm.
Portable drives the tune with his signature high-octane delivery and aggressive shouting. He rides the fast paced beat with ease, using memorable Yoruba proverbs to draw your attention immediately. His voice presence is very powerful from the first drop to the last beat.
The song’s lyrics are very much about being clever, knowing who your friends really are and not being jealous. He encourages his listeners to be careful when they walk the streets, because success draws both admirers and foes. His lingo is humorous and his chants loud and he makes an anthem out of the daily challenges of the trench.
This track has it all going on to become a full street pop record. The clamorous production is step for step with his rough vocal energy. So the track still has an addictive bounce that keeps your head nodding.
You should absolutely add this sizzling tune straight to your weekend party and street exercise playlists today. Listen to “O Wise” now on Spotify or Apple Music!
