“Osiso Osiso,” featuring the contemporary high-life duo The Cavemen, is a standout track from Flavour’s 2023 album, “African Royalty”. The title translates to “quickly” or “fast” in Igbo. Lyrically, the song emphasises the urgency of life and seizing opportunities, with a focus on hustling and making a living because time is money. This mid-tempo track blends traditional high-life rhythms with a modern, soulful vibe.
[Chorus: Flavour]
I no get time to check time
Ọsịịsọ ọsịịsọ (no time)
Delay is dangerous
