As December settles in and the festive heat rises, Shallipopi and Wizkid have teamed up to deliver a Detty December essential, “Like That (Bomboclatt),” a standout track from Shallipopi’s newly released album AURACLE.
The collaboration instantly lit up timelines, playlists, and Lagos nightlife, marking the song as one of the season’s biggest early contenders.
Built on a foundation of amapiano-driven log drums, sleek percussion, and breezy Afropop melodies, “Like That” strikes a balance between street grit and superstar finesse. Shallipopi brings his quirky, street-wise swagger, while Wizkid smoothens the edges with his effortless melodic glide — the kind of chemistry that guarantees replay value. Critics and fans alike have pegged it as a crossover bop engineered for clubs, house parties, and Detty December rooftop nights.
But beyond this viral duet, the week has delivered a rich wave of fresh releases across the Black music scene. From alternative Afro-R&B to percussion-heavy street-pop, artists continue to evolve the soundscape heading into 2025. Platforms like NotjustOk, Music In Africa, and Style Rave highlight a surge in genre-blending — where amapiano merges with highlife, trap fuses with Afro-soul, and dancehall finds new expression in Afrobeats frameworks.
