FOLA, Bella Shmurda and Zlatan team up for ‘it’s over’

Nigerian street-pop is serving up another heavyweight collaboration, and this one hits different. Rising talent FOLA has recruited two of the genre’s most electrifying voices—Bella Shmurda and Zlatan—for a powerhouse single called it’s over, and it’s exactly the kind of triumphant energy we need right now.

What makes this track work so well is how seamlessly three different artistic voices blend into one cohesive statement. Producers Shallythechampion and Sbthaproducer craft an Afro-fusion backdrop that’s both punchy and spacious, layering crisp percussion and brass elements over a rhythm that rolls with serious momentum. FOLA opens things up with a melodic hook that balances vulnerability with confidence, before Bella Shmurda brings his signature reflective street wisdom to the mix. Then Zlatan swoops in with rapid-fire Yoruba bars and those unmistakable ad-libs that have become his calling card, cementing the track’s street credibility.

At its core, it’s over is a celebration—a collective exhale after weathering the storm. The lyrics read like a declaration to everyone who ever doubted them: the struggle is finished, the wins are stacking up, and there’s no looking back. The chemistry between these three artists feels natural rather than forced, which is rare in an era where collaborations can sometimes feel like mere playlist strategy. Instead, this feels like three artists who genuinely understand each other’s lanes coming together to create something that resonates both in the streets and on streaming platforms.

With it’s over, FOLA, Bella Shmurda, and Zlatan aren’t just making music—they’re stamping their authority on the culture and reminding us why Nigerian street-pop continues to dominate.
