The track “Rude Gyal”, a collaboration between Reminisce and Burna Boy featured on the album Alaga Ibile, represents a convergence of indigenous rap and emerging Afro-fusion sounds. The song constructs a narrative around female empowerment and desirability, utilizing the “rude gyal” archetype to explore attraction to strength and confidence.
Burna Boy takes over the chorus, the energy shifts to pure melody, capturing the intoxicating pull of someone who knows exactly who they are and what they want. It’s a track that feels like a cool night out in Lagos, blending the street grit with a sophisticated, global sound.
