Nigerian artist 8figurez has returned a vibrant new single "Tease Me", featuring South African singer-songwriter Manix Chow. The track, which blends Afrobeat cadences with the infectious pulse of Amapiano, marks a refreshing creative shift for the rising rapper as he reintroduces himself following a brief hiatus.
On "Tease Me", 8figurez leans into a slow, punchy rap flows that mirror the evolving sound of Nigeria’s new-school hip-hop scene. His lines are delivered with deliberate precision, giving listeners a distinctly unhurried flow that contrasts the rapid-fire rap style traditionally associated with the scene. This measured approach, layered over a buoyant, dance-ready instrumental, creates a catchy fusion that bridges grit with club-friendly energy.
Manix Chow’s contribution adds further dynamics to the single. Known for his smooth vocal delivery and songwriting finesse, the South African artist complements 8figurez’s cadence with melodic fluidity, enriching the song’s international appeal. Their collaboration reflects the growing creative exchange between Nigeria and South Africa, two countries at the forefront of Africa’s global music takeover.
The music video further amplifies the record’s vibrancy, capturing the synergy between both artists while highlighting the lively aesthetic that defines the Afrobeat and Amapiano crossover sound.
With its engaging rhythms, intentional delivery, and cross-border collaboration, "Tease Me" sets the stage for what may be a new chapter in 8figurez’s career.
