Rybeena’s breakout song, Id. Me is a hustler’s anthem reflecting the struggles of young men chasing success in a society that offers little. In an interview with Apple Music Africa Now Radio, he revealed it’s his most emotional track, highlighting the inner-city reality of youths turning to fraud for financial breakthroughs.
His album Virtuoso showcases his versatility, blending Fuji, Highlife, Afrobeats, and Dancehall. Tracks like Ivory Coastsample Olu Maintain’s Yahooze, while New Taker advises hustlers to pace themselves. He infuses Spanish influences in Despacito and delivers Yoruba drum-heavy beats in Amapiapala.
Featuring street-hop stars like Tee Dollar and TI Blaze, Rybeena explores themes of hustle, fast life, and success.
His mastery of Yoruba and genre-blending skills make Virtuoso a compelling listen, though expanding beyond street narratives could unlock even greater mainstream success.
