Enugu-based rapper Tuff King unleashes one of his record-breaking tracks named “Waka Waka,” off his “Black Sheepizen” EP.
Produced by King David Israel and published on his own imprint Black Sheep Pen, “Waka Waka” features the unmistakable Black Sheep spirit the artist has formed his identity around. The repeated “black sheep” chant that courses through the record isn’t just a hook — it’s almost his brand hallmark at this point, appearing across his repertoire with the same brazen assurance.
The song starts out with a lot of swagger. Asking people if they feel good before getting into that repeating, addictive chant pattern.
His Afro-Beat base remains lively all through, offering enough motion on the record to work in any context. This is not some instant fluke; Tuff King has accumulated over 1.4 million total plays and 139,000 monthly listeners from Enugu alone. This is the product of constant grinding as both a rapper and executive producer.
For an artist that wears the moniker of the “black sheep” gladly – not as an insult – “Waka Waka” feels like the most unambiguous indication of who Tuff King actually is.
