Hailing from Ghana, SBL WORLD showcases his reflective yet uplifting afrobeat styling with ‘BadMan’, a track that – although fully contemporary and drenched in electronic tones – fully encompasses tradition with bouncy Ghanaian rhythms and an evocative, anthemic lyricism, the perfect match for SBL WOLRLD’s sharp delivery and charming character.
Self-produced by the artist himself, ‘BadMan’ is a rather short offering, clocking in at just above the two-minute mark. That doesn’t impact the staggering amount of gravitas and African flair the record is able to offer, highlighting SBL WORLD’s nuanced and reflecting artistry, always treated with fierce boldness and the willingness to innovate.
Gearing up for an upcoming EP, ‘Star of David’, the talented creative delves deeper into the inspiration behind ‘BadMan’: “It throws light on the struggles of a man thriving to make it out of the ghetto”.
