Following the buzz created by the artwork posted on both 2Baba and MI Abaga’s social media handles, the musical giants have released a single titled Babylon. The new single and surprise comes after over four years the duo last collaborated on the hit, Nobody (2013) and Human Being (2015).
The single which is already available for purchase on iTunes was co-written by 2Baba and M.I, and produced by M.I Abaga. As expected from the music virtuosos, the song is an amazing rendition with the perfect rhythm to keep listeners gyrating.
The rhythm does not just dominate the song; the lyrics, also, explores different facets of vices in the society and leaves off a resounding note of encouragement to its listeners.

The creative use of metaphors such as Babylon and Zion create the right imagery to express the message of the song. Babylon represents the vices that the common enemy tries to lure people into, but the singers emphasized the need to look on to Zion, a place of respite for perseverance.
