Although he’s not necessarily the hottest around, Lil Kesh has stayed far away from Afropop’s nadir, by being able to finesse a hit, either alone or by wrangling himself unto big singles from other artists. For his latest single, Kesh flexes the weight of his phonebook, tapping prominent hitmaker Mayorkun, for “Nkan Be”, a propulsive song on which they both admire the beauty of their love interest.

Cribbing inspiration from the popular  ‘00s Yoruba TV show, ‘Nkan Be’, their confessional lyrics retools the show’s premise—dissecting the otherworldly—to describe their muse’s stunning physical attribute. Between its lightweight theme, Kesh and Mayorkun’s syncopated deliveries, and the clanging production from Rexxie, “Nkan Be” unfolds its true intention to dominate on the club scene.

You can listen to “Nkan Be” below.
