KokoPee returns with a follow-up single called “Tables Turn,” leaning hard into the street-inspired sound he has built around himself. The Nigerian singer, songwriter and performer also records as D Lyrical Engr, and this record carries that same direct energy.
Trevor Beats handled the production, stacking contemporary Afrobeats rhythms under heavy percussion. The beat moves, and it gives KokoPee’s writing style room to land. Nothing on the instrumental feels crowded because the percussion does most of the talking.
Lyrically, he runs through betrayal, disappointment and determination. His lines settle on people who once shared his dreams and later turned against him when things got tough. He also touches the rough patches that come with chasing success. The delivery is energetic rather than polished for its own sake, which suits a song holding this much frustration.
Anyone who has followed his lyrical approach will recognise the same habit of turning personal experience into something a listener can carry. He hides very little here, and that honesty is the point.
