As Nigerian songs continue to saturate streaming services worldwide, it’s becoming a very common scenario for artistes to drop remixes to hits that have barely fanned out from the mainstream. Joining the queue of artistes tweaking the shelf-life of their singles is Nigeria’s very own street-pop sensation, Bella Shmurda, who took things further south tapping Hip Hop maverick Nasty C on the remix of his acclaimed record dubbed, Philo.
After dropping the TikTok sensation Ara (Gen Gen Tin) as an appetiser, Bella Shmurda is keeping the momentum going with this Philo remix. The remix is a perfect blend of Bella Shmurda’s energetic vocals and Nasty C’s witty lyricism, making it a must-listen for all music lovers.
The remix boasts intricate guitar work, inviting bass lines, and breezy melodies that perfectly summarise the track’s theme. The song is a love song that speaks to the emotions of young love and how it can make a person feel, and Bella Shmurda and Nasty C capture these emotions perfectly.
Shmurda’s album, Hypertension, has been making waves in the music industry since its release, last year, consolidating the efforts he debuted with on High Tension Vol 1 & 2. It’s safe to see the ascension of this pop enigma, whose fuji-toned vocals and witty lyricism has continued to keep his notoriety rife across the streets.
Philo Remix is available across streaming services.
