The last few months has seen a lot of rap move towards heavier and introspective themes. Major players such as Olamide and Reminisce have taken on topics of drug abuse and marital promiscuity with “Science Student” and “Pon Mi Le” respectively, while dominant trap music scene in South Africa reflects a pseudo-violent and troubled lifestyle of the youth in those parts. But Kidakuz’s latest release, “Last Last” featuring Dremo gives a slight realignment towards fun rap.

Over the laid-back piano-led beat, KidaKudz channels the lightweight buzz of “Sipping on That Henny”. Flipping rap’s brash tone on its head, he brags in the least outlandish tone saying “Yeah I Love My Life, Mi O Le Complain” before threatening his love interest with enough affection to make her overdose.

Dremo takes the last verse on “Last Last”, and though his lyrics are more offensive, his delivery is joyful as he switches between singing and animated rap. He raps about suffering and smiling; a popular sentiment in Nigeria’s often problematic society. But he gives context for the smiling promising “Last Last Everybody Go Dey Alright”.

The chemistry between KidaKudz and Dremo, and their positive message over the dance-inclined mid-tempo beat is primed to turn bad days around and give good days that extra spice.
