The Mayor of Lagos, Mayorkun serves up a love song, “Nakupenda”, produced by Fresh VDM and Junior Taurus.
Mayorkun describes the song “Nakupenda” which means ‘I Love You’;
This song is an East African jam, and I spoke Swahili in it. I worked with Napji, who also produced ‘FEM’ for Davido. He actually helped me with the Swahili…I don’t know how he knows it!
I had to call a South African producer to touch it up when we were done. It had a very Afropop sound, and I needed the log drums.
The song “Nakupenda” was taken from Mayorkun’s sophomore album, ‘Back In Office‘ released a few days ago.
Quotable Lyrics;
Nakupenda Yes yes yes
Nakupenda Yes yes yes
Nakupenda Yes yes yes
Nakupenda Yes yes yes
Naweza kufa
Naweza kulia
Naweza kupiga kelele
(Me I no mind, me I no mind)
