Superstar Davido and his Jamaican counterpart, Popcaan, have dished out a new tune for the season, titled “Risky”. This track is apparently off of his forthcoming album, “A Good Time”, which is set for release before the year runs out.
“Risky” is actually a repackaged version of his hilarious freestyle on Shade 45 earlier on in the year, which was made fun of across social media.
As Davido tweeted; “What you all laughed at!! You will dance to!!”
The afrofusion-meets-dancehall beat work is masterfully produced by DMW’s in-house beatmaker Speroach Beatz. It is also accompanied by a music video shot in London and Directed by Meji Alabi. The music video appears to be a nod to the popular Netflix series “Top Boy”, as it takes place in a similar East London housing estate setting, where an undercover informant is watching their every move.
The video opens with a tense diner scene where Popcaan and Davido go to exchange some words (much like a popular scene in Top Boy season 3 between main characters Jamie and Dushane). But while the characters in Top Boy battle over drug territory, it seems Popcaan and Davido are in a tiff over a girl, who turns out to be an informant.
“A Good Time” album is set to include other singles like “Fall,” “Assurance,” and “Blow My Mind.” It is scheduled for release on November 22 via Davido Worldwide Entertainment/Sony UK/RCA.
