bees & Honey Unites OMAH LAY, Gyptian & BEAM on Transcontinental Groove “As We Get High”
When Nigerian sensation OMAH LAY links up with Jamaican reggae legend Gyptian and rising talent BEAM, something special happens. The music collective bees & honey has orchestrated exactly that kind of magic with their latest release, “As We Get High”—a cross-cultural sonic journey that proves great music knows no borders.
This isn’t your typical Afrobeats track. “As We Get High” is where Port Harcourt meets Kingston in the most effortless way possible. OMAH LAY brings his signature emotive delivery and melodic sensibility, while Gyptian infuses the record with that unmistakable reggae-dancehall flavor that’s made him a Caribbean icon. BEAM rounds out the trio with his versatile vocal approach, helping to tie the diverse influences into one cohesive, laid-back anthem. The production leans into atmospheric textures and a relaxed groove that lets each artist’s distinctive style breathe while creating something entirely fresh.
What makes this collaboration particularly significant is how it reflects the evolving relationship between African and Caribbean music. These genres have always shared DNA, but tracks like “As We Get High” show how modern artists are actively bridging the gap, creating hybrid sounds that speak to a global audience. For OMAH LAY, this adds another dimension to an already impressive discography, while bees & honey continues to prove their ear for curating meaningful collaborations that transcend geographical boundaries.
“As We Get High” is available now across all major streaming platforms, ready to soundtrack your next vibe session.
