Omah Lay joins bees & honey, BEAM & Gyptian for ‘As We Get High’

Omah Lay Crosses Borders on bees & honey’s “As We Get High” Featuring BEAM & Gyptian

Nigerian sensation Omah Lay continues his global expansion with a sultry new collaboration that proves Afrobeats has no boundaries. The rising star links up with creative collective bees & honey, Jamaican-American artist BEAM, and reggae-dancehall legend Gyptian for “As We Get High,” a smoky fusion track that melts together Lagos, Kingston, and Miami into one intoxicating vibe.

The production choices here are deliberate and sophisticated. Rather than competing for space, the artists float through a hazy soundscape built on ambient dancehall riddims and deep, rolling sub-bass that demands to be played through proper speakers. Omah Lay—often dubbed the “King of Afro-depression”—leads with his signature melancholic falsetto, setting a contemplative mood before BEAM adds contemporary hip-hop-infused dancehall energy to the mix. Gyptian’s weathered, soulful delivery rounds out the trio, bringing veteran gravitas to balance the younger voices. The result is a late-night anthem that feels equally at home in a beachside session or an after-hours club set.

Thematically, “As We Get High” explores escapism and intimate connection, offering listeners a sonic refuge from everyday chaos. It’s the kind of slow-burning track that rewards repeated listens, with each artist’s regional influence adding new layers to the overall atmosphere. The collaboration showcases how Afro-fusion continues to evolve through genuine cross-cultural exchange rather than forced genre-blending.

This release further cements Omah Lay’s position as one of Afrobeats’ most versatile voices, comfortable moving between pure Afrobeats, R&B, and now this tropical hybrid sound. When artists from different corners of the diaspora can create something this cohesive, it proves the global Afrobeats movement is thriving.
