Zlatan keeps building on the street-inspired sound that gave him “Zanku,” “Bolanle” and “Lagos Anthem,” and his new record is “9-5 (Motion Boys).” The Afrobeats song brings Shoday and Peruzzi onto one beat with him. Each artist carries a distinct style into the mix.
Shoday, a fast-rising singer and songwriter, adds smooth vocals and catchy melodies. Peruzzi rounds out the trio. What stands out is how the three voices sit together.
Street-hop meets contemporary Afrobeats on this one. The result leans on rhythm and melody rather than heavy messaging. It is a light, upbeat listen, built for movement.
The song fits a commute, a gym session or a Friday night out. Zlatan has spent years building a catalogue around that energy. He brings the same playful approach here.
So the record works because nobody is chasing a deep statement. It simply moves. Have you heard “9-5 (Motion Boys)” yet? Tell us your verdict in the comments.
