Nakupenda

Song by Bella Shmurda, Pa Salieu, Not3s, L.A.X

3 mins • 2022

Nakupenda” (“I love you” in Swahili) is a heavy-duty international collaboration that bridges the Nigerian Afrobeats sound with the UK Grime/Rap scene. With the addition of Pa Salieu, the track takes on an even harder, street-focused energy. Pa Salieu’s raw delivery and distinctive voice blend with the smoother vocals of Not3s and the Afrobeats flow of L.A.X. The song is a rich, energetic mixture of different styles, all expressing themes of attraction, the lavish life, and the hustle that got them there.

[BackRoad Gee:]
Back to the sender, we fight fire with fire
Outside ain't safe, baby, dem [?] liars
As I walk through the valley of the treacherous street
[?]
Back to the sender, what's the agenda?

[Bella Shmurda:]

[Not3s:]
Girl you want dah D

But they never try one
Popcaan unruly
Come here selfishly

They know clout
Forseen and you knew me
Girl you want dah D
They just wanna scream me
But they never try one
Popcaan unruly
Come here selfishly

They know clout
Forseen and you knew me
