“Afrobeat Freestyle,” a dynamic offering from Burna Boy’s early albums featured on “Best of Burn Series, Vol. 1”, vibrates with raw energy and musical pride, which was released in 2011. Lyrically, Burna stakes out his space in the scene. He sounds the call of a rising voice ready to break through.
The tone isn’t polished ambition. It’s a declaration, grounded in culture and rooted in everyday experiences. The song blends Afrobeat rhythms with dance-forward instrumentation typical of the era, and though the production is straightforward, it succeeds in spotlighting Burna’s presence and confidence.
