Nigerian Afrobeats star Shallipopi, born Crown Uzama, has released his latest single Na So via Plutomania Records and Since ’93. Widely known as the “Pluto Presido,” Shallipopi continues to solidify his place as one of Nigeria’s most exciting artists with a track that seamlessly fuses street-hop swagger and Afrobeats rhythms. Following the success of his smash hit Laho, Na So arrives as a street-certified anthem destined for playlists and airwaves.
A Street-Hop Anthem with Viral Hooks
Na So is a high-energy tune that showcases Shallipopi’s trademark style — witty lyricism, playful delivery, and an uncanny ability to turn street slang into viral hooks. Produced by Producer X, the record blends amapiano-inspired log drums with raw street sounds, creating a pulsating beat that mirrors the artist’s unapologetic energy. The hook “Na so, na so” is instantly addictive, delivered in a chant-like fashion that blends English, Pidgin, and Bini.
With lyrics like “Anytime me I shoot my shot, I swear me I never miss / I get too many many bills on my neck, make dem let me breathe,” Shallipopi embodies his confident persona while reflecting the hustle and resilience that define his artistry.
Edo Roots and Mainstream Appeal
The track celebrates Shallipopi’s Benin City heritage while maintaining broad appeal. Much like his earlier chart-topping hits Elon Musk and Ex-Convict, Na So reflects his ability to merge local street culture with global Afrobeats energy. It’s both a tribute to his Edo roots and a bold declaration of his growing influence in Nigeria’s dynamic music scene.
Fans and Anticipation for What’s Next
The teaser for Na So, initially shared on SoundCloud, built significant hype, and since release, fans have hailed it as another cultural win for Shallipopi. With its viral hook and celebratory tone, the single is already making waves on social media. As anticipation builds for his upcoming 2025 album, Na So sets the tone, showcasing Shallipopi’s unique charisma and his role in elevating the Edo sound on a global scale.
