Zeh Nation head Portable speaks about internet fraud with “Kose Yahoo,” a street-pop track created by Oga Klef Beatz.
The Yoruba phrase essentially translates to “don’t do Yahoo,” with Yahoo being Nigerian slang for cybercrime. The music tells you what it’s about in the first line. Portable cautions that internet fraud is dangerous and that gaining quick money is an illusion. He pleads with the youths to choose honest means of livelihood. And that’s important from an artist renowned for loud, uncensored street tracks because a lot of his listeners know what it means to be under pressure to get that fast money.
Oga Klef Beatz aka Ogaklef Beat created a fast-paced, hard-hitting street beat around him. The enthusiasm suits Portable’s lively delivery and keeps the lesson from sounding like a sermon. The sound is still loud and entertaining, with the warning hidden in the chant-like hook. Fans have already pushed it to trending lists, which implies that listeners like the idea of a street hymn with a point.
