Nigerian Grammy award-winning global star Burna Boy has collaborated with Travis Scott to launch his eagerly awaited eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, with today’s release of the new single, ‘Tatata’.
The track blends vibrant Brazilian funk rhythms with Nigerian Pidgin English and a pop-rap style.
In ‘Tatata’, Burna Boy references Equatorial Guinea public official Baltasar Engonga, who recently made headlines over a scandal involving a large collection of sex tapes.
American rapper Travis Scott features on the song, delivering a confident rap verse that complements Burna Boy’s message with bold lyrics.
‘Tatata’ follows the release of Burna Boy’s reggae single ‘Sweet Love’, which continues to build anticipation for the album.
Earlier singles include the upbeat ‘Bundle By Bundle’, which has garnered over 24 million Spotify streams and 8.5 million video views.
Recently, Burna Boy collaborated with French-Haitian singer Joé Dwèt Filé on a remix of the viral track ‘4 Kampé’, blending Afrobeats and Haitian Kompa in a cross-cultural hit climbing global charts.
Last month, Burna Boy became the first African artist to feature on the cover of Billboard France, coinciding with his historic sold-out concert at Stade de France.
