Asake has teamed up with French rapper and singer Tiakola for a new banger, Badman Gangsta, and its exactly what youd expect from two artists who understand how to turn confidence into a sound.
The track is a bold celebration of street credibility, ambition, and living life on your own terms. Asake, in his usual laid-back but commanding delivery, raps about success, blessings, and hustling smartstacking paper, play nicely, Leo Messi. Tiakola slides in with smooth French verses, blending ambition and romance as he raps about the grind and late-night uncertainties between Makala and Marbella.
Theres also a romantic, flirtatious layer to the song. Asake sings to a woman who loves his badman energy, while Tiakola drops lines that echo the same sentimentElle aime les vrais gangstas, ceux qui sont pas instables (She loves real gangstas, the ones who arent unstable).
With its Afrobeats rhythm laced with Tiakolas melodic French flow, Badman Gangsta feels like the kind of track that will dominate both Lagos clubs and Parisian parties
