Shallipopi went back to his roots in “Iyo,” see how well he incorporates the local Benin dialect and blends it with English. The type of style of music the artist achieves on this track is so unique, only a few artists can actually recreate something like this.
The incorporation of his native dialect in this song shows the artist is proud of his roots and not ashamed to put his identity out there to the world.

Money coming (iyo)
Steady balling (iyo)
Now they dey call me (iyo)
