Omah Lay Links Up With bees & honey, BEAM & Gyptian for Sultry New Single “As We Get High”
When you merge Nigeria’s melancholic melody king with dancehall legends and a creative collective that thrives on boundary-pushing sounds, magic happens. Omah Lay has teamed up with bees & honey, Jamaican-American star BEAM, and reggae heavyweight Gyptian for their new collaborative effort, As We Get High—and the result is a genre-blurring masterpiece that proves Afrobeats’ global reach is unstoppable.
The track glides on a hypnotic fusion of moody Afro-R&B textures, ambient dancehall rhythms, and bass lines deep enough to rattle your chest. It’s the kind of song that demands low lighting and good company, built for intimate late-night vibes whether you’re posted on a tropical beach or tucked in a downtown lounge. Omah Lay opens with his signature haunting falsetto—that ethereal, lovestruck delivery that’s earned him the “King of Afro-depression” crown. BEAM slides in with sharp, contemporary flows that inject kinetic energy, while Gyptian closes the cipher with his unmistakable raspy vocals, adding a layer of reggae authenticity that ties everything together seamlessly.
What makes As We Get High special isn’t just the star power—it’s how effortlessly these distinct voices from Lagos, Kingston, and Miami blend into one cohesive sonic universe. The lyrics explore themes of escape, romance, and finding tranquility amid life’s turbulence, making it an anthem for anyone seeking peace in the chaos. This isn’t just a collaboration; it’s a cultural exchange wrapped in infectious melodies and heavy basslines, proving once again that Afro-fusion is a universal language.
