Ghanaian hip-hop superstar and Black Avenue Muzik vocalist D-Black teams up with versatile rap virtuoso and sound engineer E.L on a smooth rhythm-filled joint tune dubbed “Customer”.
This energetic offering comes at a time when West African hip-hop fans, Afro-fusion devotees and party animals are in search of catchy lifestyle songs that fuse executive swag with tight lyrical chops. Both singers are stalwarts of contemporary Ghanaian music, setting the tone for the urban music scene with multiple club smashes and distinguishing cross-genre experiments. The word “Customer” on the reunion immediately creates a creative chemistry, mixing D-Black’s seasoned business-minded charm with E.L’s easy flow and top-tier pen game to create a high-energy song built for automobile sound systems, VIP lounges and weekend turn-up rotations.
The sound architect crafts a bouncing mid-tempo environment driven by hammering kick drums, snappy hi-hat rolls and a rolling, fluid bassline. The beat is underpinned by warm synth loops and bright percussion shakers and subtle melodic plucks that swirl constantly, giving the piece an enticing bounce without overloading the layout. Meanwhile, the roomy audio engineering gives adequate room to breathe throughout the mix, making sure every ragged inflexion, witty punchline and melodic run smashes through the speakers with stunning clarity.
D-Black runs the tune with his trademark rich baritone, disciplined cadence and bossed-up street swagger. He navigates the bouncing pace with seasoned ease, dropping smooth, relatable rhymes celebrating financial ascent, luxury living, and commanding respect in every area he enters. E.L gets into the groove to ramp up the tempo on all fronts, bringing his signature vocal tone, funny lyricism and an enticing sing-along chorus right out the gate. His switch between aggressive rap lines and melodious inflections is so seamless it’s the perfect dynamic counterpoint to D-Black’s grounded flow.
The songwriting of “Customer” is focused largely on financial elevation, the fruits of hard-earned success, mutual desire and treating romance and life as top-tier business transactions where only the greatest standards apply. With amusing metaphors and smart Akan-English wordplay and an unforgettable tune, the two artists transform a high-spirited studio link-up into a worldwide, feel-good song for dreamers, ballers and grinders on the move everyplace.
It all fits together smoothly throughout this cut for a comprehensive, immensely pleasant listen. Throughout the full length, the clean beat-driven production works to match their collective vocal charisma line after line.
