Track-By-Track: Famous PLuto Walks Us Through ‘Street Therapist’

We caught up with the rapper and singer to break down each track on his debut album.

A few years before Famous PLuto arrived on the scene, his big brothers, Shallipopi and Zerrydl, had already familiarised the Afropop world with their electric Plutomania sound that had dancefloors pulsating across the country. This distinct sonic identity, characterised by its infectious energy and street-savvy lyricism, paved the way for many, including the youngest of the Uzamas, Famous PLuto, to carve out their own niche within the thriving ecosystem of the Street-Pop sound.

Famous Pluto established himself as a key figure in this unique movement following his official debut in early 2025 with the single “Na Scra.” After building significant online momentum through multiple viral freestyles, the track’s immediate commercial success secured his position in the mainstream alongside his brothers. His rapid ascent was further marked by a standout feature on the “1 Work Remix” by Zhus Djo and the release of his five-track EP, ‘Uzama The 3rd,’ which featured  highlights like “Ewo” and the Jeriq-assisted “Osusu.

Now, a little over a year since his first single, his official debut album ‘Street Therapist’ is here. The 11-track project was supported by two pre-released singles, “Jembe” and “14DRoad,” both of which feature Mavo and Zlatan, respectively. The new releases include highlights like “Choose Me,” “Praise and Worship,” “Satisfied (18+)” and a guest list that features names like Zaylevelten, Brazy and Muyeez. I chose Street Therapist because of the kind of music I make,’ he tells  NATIVE Mag, explaining his reasons for deciding on his album title. ‘It’s like I’m passing advice through my songs for the street.’ 

Ahead of the album release, we caught up with the rapper and singer to break down each track on his debut. 

“Intro”

I did the intro to the project after I came back from a meeting where they were telling me how successful I had become. So I decided to brag about myself on this opening track. The song was produced by JAZZMAN Beats. 

 

“Satisfied (18+)”

On this song, I was basically talking about how I don’t think I can be in love because I love hooks. I decided to put the 18+ in the title on purpose to indicate this. The session where I recorded this is my favourite recording session during the process of making this project. Everything came so easily. 

 

“Group Chat” ft Muyeez

This song is probably the fourth song I made with Muyeez. Muyeez and I have recorded quite a number of songs together, but I wasn’t satisfied with those songs because it wasn’t really my vibe. So I played this Amapiano beat for him one day, and he started vibing to it and did the chorus. Three days later, I added my verses to the song, and that’s how we made “Group Chat.

 

“Lakute”

Lakute is my friend’s name. I made this song for him back in 2023, and it went viral on TikTok. It had over 100k videos on the app. Since the freestyle went viral, people have been asking me to drop the song officially, and so I decided to add it to this project. The chorus is pretty much the same from 2023, but I added two extra verses to this version on the project. 

 

“Choose Me” ft Zaylevelten

The first time I came across Zay, his sound seemed very unique, and I knew it was something I could jump on. I texted him, and I was like, ‘Omo, we need to make a song together.’ I sent him like three beats, but he wasn’t satisfied with them, so he decided to produce the beat for “Choose Me.We recorded two songs, but we decided to go with this one eventually. 

 

“Praise and Worship” ft Brazy

The first time I heard the beat for this song, my head was screaming ‘Brazy, Brazy, Brazy.’ She seemed like the perfect fit for the beat. I listen to Brazy a lot. I like “Attends” and “Take Your Vibe and Go” with Kah-lo. I recorded my verse first and sent it to her, and she sent in her verse asap. 

 

“For Days”

“For Days” is the story of my mum and I years ago when we were suffering in Benin. I was basically narrating that whole experience in this song. 

 

“Work”

This was inspired by Rihanna’s “Work. I changed the lyrics of the hook to ‘Monkey dey hustle, Baboon dey cash out, e no fit work.’ 

 

“Jembe” ft Mavo

I recorded this in September 2025 when I had just returned from my first European tour. I was headed to 808’s party, and Mavo hit me up, saying we needed to record that day. I wasn’t even planning to record that day, but we ended up recording the song very close to the party. That’s why I was saying ‘Make we party next door, say, E dey burst.’ There was literally a party next door. 

 

“14DRoad” ft Zlatan

I met Zanku backstage at Mavo’s show, and I told him about the song. I had teased the song on TikTok, and it was already going crazy, so I told him I would love him to hop on the song. He asked me to send it over, and he sent a verse back. That’s how I gauge what my fans want sometimes. I just tease these songs online, and if it gets a good reception, I’ll decide if I want to release them officially. 

 

“Yeyeye”

I was talking about my ex on this.
