The Nigerian soundscape just gained a new anthem in Drela’s “Jekomo.”
A seamless mix of melodic storytelling and rugged street vibes makes “Jekomo” a track that commands attention anywhere it plays.
“Jekomo,” which translates from Yoruba to “let them know,” carries its meaning in both sound and spirit. Drela brings smooth confidence, weaving his lines with an Afrobeats bounce that makes his verses glide. His delivery leans melodic, almost conversational, but sharp enough to draw you into the song’s coded narratives.
On the other side, Durella — long celebrated as the “King of the Streets” — provides the grit. His performance adds raw intensity, that lived-in street energy that grounds the track and balances Drela’s lighter touch. Together, their styles spark against each other in a way that feels intentional, highlighting the chemistry CashBoy Records is betting on.
Production-wise, the beat thrives on rhythm and movement. It blends Afrobeats percussion with a dancehall kick and a street-ready pulse. The hook is direct and sticky, almost engineered for call-and-response moments, while the chorus lands like an anthem — something that listeners can chant along to, whether on the dance floor or in neighborhood gatherings.
“Jekomo” isn’t just a single; it’s a statement. For Drela, it shows growth and a willingness to collaborate with legends to solidify his place in the scene. For Durella, it’s a reminder of the raw fire that made him one of the most distinctive voices of his generation. Together, they’ve crafted a track that’s celebratory, defiant, and unapologetically street.
This record has the energy to travel — from Lagos nightlife to streaming playlists worldwide — and it feels like the kind of release that not only entertains but also positions Drela as an artist with serious intent.
