Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm
When Afrobeats meets UK rap excellence, the result sounds something like “Poison (Panya).” Mavo has recruited British rap heavyweight AJ Tracey for a standout collaboration from his latest album Business, and the cultural collision produces pure fire. Released July 24, 2026, this track represents everything exciting about modern African music’s global expansion.
The beauty of “Poison (Panya)” lies in how seamlessly both artists navigate each other’s sonic territories. Mavo opens with his characteristic melodic flow, laying down smooth Afrobeats foundations before AJ Tracey slides in with the kind of sharp lyricism that made him a UK favorite. The production pulses with infectious energy, proving that when artists from different worlds genuinely vibe together, the chemistry is undeniable. This isn’t a forced crossover—it’s a natural conversation between two music scenes that share more DNA than people realize.
What makes this collaboration particularly noteworthy is how it showcases Mavo’s artistic vision beyond borders. He’s not diluting his sound to chase international appeal; he’s confidently bringing collaborators into his world. “Poison (Panya)” works equally well in Lagos clubs and London venues, a testament to Afrobeats’ evolving position as a global sound rather than a regional one. The track demands repeated plays and will undoubtedly dominate playlists across continents.
