Nigerian street-pop phenom Shallipopi has started a cross-continental blaze with his latest single, “HIM,” featuring American rapper Gunna. The track is a swagger-drenched Afrobeats-trap hybrid that immediately asserts dominance and magnetic charisma in the global music space.
The 4-minute track showcases Shallipopi’s global maneuver move, blending his signature Benin City slang-laced flows with Gunna’s silky, melodic menace over hazy synths and trap snares that evoke late-night triumphs.
A Fusion of Street Energy and Polished Swagger
“HIM” seamlessly blends the raw energy of Nigerian hip-hop with the polished swagger of Atlanta trap.
- Shallipopi brings his signature energetic flow, delivering verses in a mix of Pidgin and English that reflects his rapid rise and relentless hustle.
- Gunna’s smooth and effortless trap cadence adds a layer of international polish, bridging sounds and scenes without missing a beat.
The dynamic track was produced by a quartet of beatmakers: Cole YoursTruly, Geno, Progrexx, and Budee.
The new release serves as a follow-up to Shallipopi’s previous single, Na So, and further demonstrates the increasing frequency of cross-Atlantic partnerships in modern hip-hop and Afrobeats, solidifying the Nigerian star’s meteoric rise.
