The song is a memorial to martyrs of the October 20th, 2020 massacres at Lekki Toll Gate by the Nigerian security forces (Ozumba Mbadiwe is the name of the expressway that leads to the toll gate). That’s why it looks simple. Reekado is saying you will find him on the way (long drive) to the memorial 🙏🏾 These are names of the fallen 4:15 on the yellow electronic boards.
The name of the drive "Mbadiwe" in Igbo actually means that the country/town/city people are angry. it coincides with the mood of the ppl during SARS protest.
First verse is that he has been busy like the highway Ozumba Mbadiwe ( it's always busy). 2nd verse is a homage to those who died on that road October 20 2020 demonstrating against police brutality.
Ozumba Mbadiwe is a road in Lagos 🇳🇬and the tollgate they drove through was a focal point for the #ENDSARS protest in 2020. This song is an absolute banger 🔥👌and a classic for sure. And for a non-Nigerian, you got the pronunciation right ✅. Very impressive 👏🏿👍🏾
You got the pronunciation right first time. Impressive. I loved the song the first time I heard it. It starts out as a cool breezy cruising song with lyrics stating the artiste credentials and chill attitude and all of a sudden bursts into biting social commentary on the murder of scores of innocent protesting Nigerians at the Lekki toll gate on October 20 2020. The sublime irony is that at one end of the long street is a military barracks and at the other is the massacre ground at the tollgate. Great concepts. Great Song.
I accidentally bumped into your channel and I literally have no regrets. Your voice is fire. Your choice of words I mean the whole analytical process is smooth! Please react to Reekado Banks - Lupita Nyong'o.. It’s literally from the same EP as this song and it’s fire too
No not at all… he’s not being really active lately maybe he was down with something we do not know but we’re so happy he’s back now… he’s a good artiste

My Nigeria artist never disappoints. Reekado understood the assignment. Lovely song.

The Amapiano base sounds are gotten from padding log drums on two different octaves. They are basically log drums 🪘

Listen to Reekado Bank's Rora... that song's a madness

By the way pronunciation of ‘Ozumba Mbadiwe’ is spot on .. Well done 👍 ’

your analysis and breakdown of the sound is awesome!
The name of the amapiano bass sound is Log Drum… it’s a stock preset on FL studio. But also, the samples can be used in any DAW
The beat is fire 🔥🔥
Reekado hit that cord with this beautiful blend ... bitter sweet considering the theme ... beautiful piece.
You are a talented analyst and it baffles me the way you breakdown the song as always. You got the pronunciation correctly. Well done.
You pronounced it well ozumba mbadiwe
The beat was made by P prime💖💖💖💖

He sent shots at burnaboy in the song "if you think say you be giant you be giant for your pocket"
It's not to Burna though. Its obviously about the government.
The mention of Giant was referring to Nigeria ( Giant of Africa)
Stop making things up. This is about Nigeria 🇳🇬 claiming to be the Giant of Africa!
@@sylviasworld9397 to burna boy.
@@chukwumaolisehemekaouwarre3236 No it's not. Reekado is not an immature artists to even do that, especially on this song and the subject matter.
Reduce the talking and pausing please
