Samad recruits Jaido P and Lil Frosh for a street-pop-leaning Afrobeats record titled “Girls.”
The collaboration puts three distinct voices on one track. Samad built the song around contemporary Nigerian street-pop elements, while the two guests add their own styles to the mix. Vocals and rap performances share space here, so the record moves between singing and bars instead of sticking to one lane.
That blend is the main pull, especially for listeners who follow the street-pop side of the scene. The guest spots also give the song a different texture from top to bottom. “Girls” sits on Samad’s project “SAMAD (Vol. 1): 4TH PRIME,” a body of work that also includes contributions from Pheelz, Boy Muller, Jaido P and Lil Frosh.
For anyone who has been waiting on Samad to lean further into the street-pop sound, this one answers that call with company. Does the record land for you? Drop your take in the comments below.
