P. Priime at the Helm: Asake & Tiakola’s Badman Gangsta and Tyla & Wizkid’s DYNAMITE Prove His Global Production Power
Nigerian super-producer P. Priime is on a remarkable run, and this week, he’s behind not just one, but two of the most anticipated cross-continental collaborations in Afrobeats and global pop.
First up is Badman Gangsta, the high-octane new single from Asake and Tiakola. It’s a fiery blend of Afrofusion and French trap sensibilities, with P. Priime’s signature percussion-heavy beat driving the entire experience. The production is rich, bold, and unrelenting — a sonic playground where Asake’s rugged Yoruba-infused flow meets Tiakola’s silky, melodic French vocals.
Asake, known for his streetwise charisma and genre-blending innovation, delivers with authority, while Tiakola, one of the most exciting voices in Francophone music, brings balance with his effortless melodies and fluid tone. Together, they craft a bilingual street anthem with international appeal — the kind of record that hits hard in Lagos, Paris, and everywhere in between. And it’s P. Priime’s layered, rolling beat makes the chemistry explosive.
But that’s just the beginning of P. Priime’s weekend takeover.
Later tonight, fans will be treated to another blockbuster moment: the release of DYNAMITE, a highly anticipated collaboration between South African pop breakout Tyla and Nigerian global superstar Wizkid. Once again, P. Priime is the mastermind behind the beat.
DYNAMITE is expected to fuse R&B smoothness, Afrobeats rhythm, and Tyla’s signature amapiano undertones, giving both artists the perfect canvas to showcase their distinctive voices and international star power. With Wizkid’s track record of subtlety and style, and Tyla’s momentum as one of Africa’s fastest-rising pop exports, the track promises to be both sultry and sophisticated, and with P. Priime producing, expectations are sky-high.
A Global Sound Architect
P. Priime’s fingerprints are all over the sound of this new generation. Known for his work with Burna Boy, Fireboy DML, Olamide, and now with stars across the continent and beyond, the young producer has established himself as a genre-fluid powerhouse. What makes him stand out is not just his technical skill, but his ability to translate emotion into rhythm, seamlessly blending log drums, synth layers, afro-percussion, and soulful melodies.
With Badman Gangsta and DYNAMITE arriving within hours of each other, P. Priime is showcasing the full spectrum of his production range — from hard-hitting street anthems to global pop elegance. He’s not just making beats; he’s curating moments, shaping the direction of modern African music, and pushing its sound across borders and language barriers.
Final Word
This moment marks another major step in the evolution of African music on the world stage. With producers like P. Priime leading the charge, and artists like Asake, Tiakola, Tyla, and Wizkid carrying the torch, the future sounds undeniably African — and undeniably global.
Stay tuned. This weekend is sounding like a P. Priime masterclass.
