Fuge V - Okosisi (Listen & Download). @Fuge5 Published by @Lanredavies

Nigerian-Canadian recording artist Fuge 5 is back with another banger! "Okosisi", which takes its name from an Igbo title meaning "Great Tree" usually reserved for outstanding people, is a mixture of hip-hop, afrobeat and highlife that will be sure to heat up dance-floors across Nigeria this Christmas season and beyond. The track is co-produced by Humphreylee and Mr.

Mazi who also sings the *hook of Igbo proverbs and plays a keyboard solo that is reminiscent of Fela Kuti. They took palm-wine music and upgraded it to champagne music. The highlight of the song still remains Fuge-5 who effortlessly wraps his braggadocios rhymes around the bouncy beat while playing all of the percussion instruments LIVE on the track from the "ogene" to the bongo drums. 

By the time the second verse is over, the song has now turned into a jam session with Mr. Mazi and Fuge-5 having fun in the studio ad-libbing and improvising over the beat. This is not just a Fuge-5 song, it is a Fuge-5 show. Binie! Get up!

Okosisi 

The chrous translated from Igbo:

Izu ka mma na nneji 

Ojemba enwe iro

Nwoke tocha o chewe ibe ya

O na chom okwu onye muru ya?

I ma na o bu okosisi

Onye isi a na hu edu onye isi

Ahia oma na ere onwe ya

Fuge 5 buru ya gawa

It is better to make plans with your kinfolk

But a traveller has no boundaries

When a man is done growing, he waits for his mates to catch up

Is he looking for trouble? Who gave birth to him?

Do you know that he is the great one

A leader cannot be led by another leader

Something good sells itself 

Fuge 5, carry am dey go
