Active (Review)

Lyrics

Asake didn’t come to play and he is letting us know it through his latest single Active, that features American Rapper Travis Scott. Taking a break from the more laid-back vibes that characterize much of the project, Asake introduces us to this club banger that showcases just how versatile he can be. From the first beat, it’s clear that "Active" is designed to get you moving. The production is a dynamic collaboration between Nigerian hitmaker Sarz and Travis Scott’s go-to producer Mike Dean. The beat itself is a masterpiece of audio manipulation, layered with heavy bass, synths, and atmospheric elements that create a sense of controlled chaos with Travis Scott's influence unmistakable throughout. This influence extends to the visuals, which are visually surreal featuring kinetic effects that mirror the track’s title. Asake delivers his verses with his signature energy, seamlessly blending English and Pidgin to create a vibe that’s authentically Nigerian yet universally appealing while Travis Scott drops premium bars that are both sharp and laid-back, complementing Asake’s style perfectly. Their chemistry is undeniable, making "Active" a collaboration that we didn’t know we needed but are thrilled to have. Get more reviews only on Mdundo.
