London-based Nigerian Cruise Lord releases “Your Papa,” a statement that combines the raw pulse of Afrobeats with the arrogance of hip-hop and the hypnotic pulse of house to create a record that is defiant and still danceable. From the first beat, you can feel the tension between groove, grit, and explosion. The percussion pounds with authority, the rap verses quickly cut through governing, while multi talented star rapper DECOSUAVE’s feature intensifies the record’s menacing vibe with effortless energy.

This isn’t your typical feel-good Afrobeats single. “Your Papa” is a forthright confrontation; an unfiltered response, one aimed at privilege, preconceived corruption, and the pompousness of inherited power. The delivery and fervor feel like a clear call to individuals who have experienced being overlooked, unheard, and underestimated. But amid seeming reckless lyricism and eradication, the track never loses its bounce. “Your Papa” is an extraordinary protest song that simultaneously belongs on the street and the dance floor.
Cruise Lord leans into truth with rhythm as his weapon. “Your Papa” is rebellious, magnetic, and unapologetically loud. This is a song that causes you to move, think, and maybe even question your place in it. Fearless fusion of purpose and party.
