Shallipopi, The Pluto Presido, is back and serving hits on the house with his new single, "Free Service! A crash course in vibe, swagger, and cool Nigerian music sensation, "It's a full-course meal, " they say. Coming right off the momentum of his sophomore album, Shakespopi, Shallipopi validates another time why he is one of the most refreshing voices in the game.
Recorded with his trusty hitmaker Producer X, "Free Service" is a masterclass in Shallipopi's signature sound, infectious rhythms, playful but astute lyrics, and that elusive Pluto energy. With street-hop-laced while seamlessly blending Afro-fusion and a quasi-shimmery bounce that makes it near impossible to get one's seat, "Free Service" is testimony to the staying power of the second.
Shallipopi's lyrics combine a tale of confidence, flex, and finesse while keeping the delivery as witty and relatable as possible. His fluid amalgam of English and Pidgin keeps the song grounded, giving it an international reach while anchoring it to his Nigerian origin. Whether it's the insidious supple flow or the cheeky undertones, "Free Service" is the kind of track that you'll have stuck in your head after a single listen.
With his burgeoning influence in the Afrobeats scene, Shallipopi is curating a movement. If "Free Service" is anything to go by, he's not done blessing fans with paired bangers.
