Bad Boy Timz is set to keep the airwaves ablaze with his brand new single, “Say Wetin”;a spirited and captivating soundscape that celebrates rhetoric, fun rhythm, and Afropop exuberance, from his forthcoming project ‘Wa Jo Pa’. “Say Wetin” is an irresistible call-and-response anthem that turns everyday lingo into a dance-ready track.
Rooted in the colorful tapestry of Nigerian Pidgin English, the phrase “SAY WETIN” (meaning "what did you say?" in English) and Bad Boy Timz spins it into a cultural motif layered over pulsating Afropop beats as he is no stranger to crafting cultural moments. This track celebrates the rhythmic intelligence of everyday Nigerian speech, flipping the phrase into a euphoric shout that transcends borders. This isn’t just another record but a conversation starter, a street chant, and a vibrant showcase of Nigeria’s new wave of sonic boldness.
A genre-bending journey across the Afro-soundscape, the track blends Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and elements of Amapiano, laced with street-hop percussions and tropical synth stabs. Built around a groove-heavy kick pattern and rich, rubbery basslines, giving the track a deeply African soul while sounding globally fluent. “Say Wetin” is both rich and minimalistic, layered but never cluttered.
“Say Wetin” brings a fun and bouncy mood, loaded with playful charisma and magnetic melodies. It’s the kind of song that blends the festive chaos of a Lagos street party with the slick edge of a club anthem. Bad Boy Timz’s lyrics are flirtatious and sharp, switching between clever punchlines and breezy hooks that highlight his gift for phrasing and timing. His vocal performance blends singing with rhythmic intonation, offering a hybrid of singing and chanting that captures the essence of Afro-street pop. The chorus is instantly catchy, designed to echo in the minds of listeners long after the music stops.
