London, UK based British Nigerian Rap & R&B sensation Brandz drops his latest track WALLAH, produced by Jwestbeats
A year on from the success of his debut solo EP ‘Energies Are Real‘, which was bolstered by the NBA2K22-supported lead single ‘Roll The Dice’, and following his breakthrough ‘25/8‘ collaborative project with Zion Foster that has amassed over 160 million streams and sold over half a million units worldwide, with its viral lead single ‘Intro’ going silver in the UK, fast-rising British Nigerian Rap and R&B sensation Brandz is back with an exciting new single titled ‘Wallahi’ to close out 2021 and announce his sophomore solo project ‘SNS’ that arrives in January next year.
Produced by Jwestbeats (Yung Bleu, Roy Woods, NoCap) and co-written by Brandz and burgeoning British Iranian singer, songwriter, and producer ShayanSings, ‘Wallahi’ is an infectious melodic rap offering with lush R&B and Afroswing sensibilities that sees Brandz waxing lyrical about loving someone and wanting to be sure that they love you as well. Driven by his captivating vocals, catchy melodic flow, and relatable lyrics, held together by a glorious drum and synth-heavy soundscape, and featuring a clever sample of the viral Nimco Happy hit ‘Isii Nafta’, ‘Wallahi’ makes for an enthralling listen from start to finish.
Speaking about the inspiration for his new single ‘Wallahi’, Brandz says,
“The song is inspired by a real-life experience, I fell in love with a Somalian Muslim girl and ‘Wallahi’ is all about how she had me feeling. ‘Wallahi’ means a sacred vow to God, and the song is about me verifying my love for this special lady at the time and asking her to make a vow that she loved me as well. I wrote the song with ShayanSings and we wanted to pay homage to the Somali community, so it was only right that we gave a nod to Nimco Happy’s viral hit ‘Isii Nafta’ as well”.
Emerging onto the UK music scene as part of the award-winning British duo Tizzy x Brandz that gave us cult classics such as ‘All Ways’, ‘Escobar’ and ‘Careless’, Brandz has gone on to become a force to be reckoned with as a solo rising star, with nearly two million monthly listeners on Spotify, and support from the likes of BBC 1Xtra, GRM Daily, TRENCH, Earmilk, Spotify, MTV UK, and Notion, among others. Over the past 12 months, the North London native has been working on his highly anticipated ‘SNS’ project as well as his debut album with the likes of four-time GRAMMY® Award winner Larrance Dopson (1500 Or Nothin) and DJ Khalil (Nipsey Hussle, A$AP Ferg), among others.
