R&B icon Keith Sweat returns with the remix of his soulful single, Working, featuring hip-hop royalty Lil Wayne and Nigerian Afrobeats star Qing Madi. This intercontinental collaboration successfully bridges classic R&B, hip-hop, and the new wave of Afro-soul.
The original track, released in September, found Sweat wrestling with the complexities of love—a delicate tug-of-war between desire and distance. Over a smooth, emotionally rich production, the song narrates the struggle of convincing a lover that you are the right fit for them. The song’s theme of persistence in love resonated deeply, driven by Qing Madi’s youthful, soulful performance that injected African warmth into Sweat’s timeless vulnerability.
Lil Wayne’s Cinematic Twist
This new high-profile twist with Lil Wayne stepping into the mix evolves the song into something grander, a fusion of eras, genres, and emotions.
Wayne’s verse brings a familiar charismatic sharpness to the narrative, turning the record into a conversation between the unrelenting pursuit of love and the swagger of experience. His cadence glides effortlessly across the groove, giving the remix a fresh, cinematic energy that feels both nostalgic and new.
The collaboration showcases the dynamic synergy between veteran artists and the new generation of Afrobeats talent, further solidifying the genre’s growing influence on global R&B and hip-hop.
