Meanwhile, David Meli adds his tantalizing touch to the record through the enchanting hook powered by his silky voice which has the potential to reel listeners in, and take them on a chill summer drive.
Speaking on the single and the creative process of composing it, the British Nigerian rapper says, “'Hypnotized' is a summertime feel-good song and having already done a song with Meli which was never released, soon as I laid out the verses, I knew who I wanted on the hook. I sent it off to Meli in the afternoon and he sent me back the hook by night on the same day. After giving it a listen, I realized we had just created a dope summertime record.”
