Following his recent collaboration on “NUK3” with Luci4 and Lazer Dim 700, Aotearoa producer 9lives has joined forces with British rapper Lancey Foux for a new track called “ABU DHABI.” This latest song combines Afrobeats, drill, and electronic music, showcasing 9lives’ innovative production style. “This track is for those who appreciate true innovation,” the producer stated. “Collaborating with Lancey was a no-brainer as he’s at the forefront of evolving music and culture. It’s amazing to work with someone I’ve admired for so long, bringing everything full circle.”
The song is accompanied by a dynamic music video where Foux raps energetically among vibrant and colorful scenes. His lyrics play vividly, “Took her from the party, she was clutching my car key,” he rhymes. “Sat her in a Ferrari, now she’s drenched, like a tsunami/Cleaned her up, took her shopping at Bulgari.”
“ABU DHABI” is the latest in a string of successful collaborations for 9lives, who has previously worked with artists such as Trippie Redd and Lil Nas X. He is also recognized for popularizing the “sigilkore” genre in North America through tracks like “I LOVE YOU HOE” with Odetari and “GO (Xtayalive 2).”
