International Emo-Afrobeats crooner & record producer CKay dishes out a vivid money-minded tune tagged “RABA” off his “Banger Boy” album.
Afrobeats fans desire a snappy street-pop vibe to soundtrack their daily grind. This feel-good song is right on time. CKay has made a name for himself in worldwide urban music with his ambient sounds and hooks with lots of falsetto. So he uses the spot to celebrate his financial success and his never-ending search for money.
The producer sets a mid-tempo scene with warm acoustic guitar plucks, snappy percussion shakers and deep basslines. The speed is good from the very first drop, with a solid Afro-pop percussion loop. But the set-up allows him plenty of room to breathe; his expressive voice has space to run.
CKay delivers the record with confidence, switching between his signature falsetto runs and alluring melodic chants. He hovers atop the laid-back groove, spinning approachable refrains and incisive lines from verse one. There is just so much flair to his delivery that his delivery immediately sets a pleasant and enthusiastic tone.
The poem is about making money, enjoying the rewards of your labor and taking care of your loved ones with financial independence. He raps around the city about keeping his focus on the bag and fending off the distractions of jealous looks. With simple narration and catchy refrains he converts the everyday grind into a joyous celebration.
Great flow to this CD, great listen. And the gleaming production matches his expressive vocal energy just nicely. So the melody leaves an impression that lingers.
