Burna Boy Is A Model Of Success In His Celebratory ‘Way Too Big’ Video

Burna Boy continues his months-long rollout of ‘Twice As Tall’ with a triumphant new video. …

Afro-fusion star Burna Boy is a model of success in his celebratory “Way Too Big” video, which continues the promotion cycle for his 2020 album Twice As Tall. Opening with a shot of a young boy in Lagos, Nigeria encountering a statue of Burna Boy as a boxer, the video imagines an entirely different path for the African Giant, who defeats an opponent in the ring, becoming the same massive star he is now. As he sits atop a billboard in Lagos, traffic stops to take in the sight. The message is clear: No matter what his path, Burna believes he’d have been a success story.

He has exhibited that same confidence throughout his album’s rollout, from the “Real Life” video to the “Monsters You Made” video. Burna’s goal is to depict different models of leadership for African youth and speak out for a unified continent strong enough to become a major world power. He also speaks out against injustice on the album, and in the song “20:10:20,” with which he decried the Nigerian Police Force’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad and its legacy of violence and suppression.

Watch the “Way Too Big” video above.

Twice As Tall is out now on Atlantic Records. Listen to it here.

Burna Boy is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

The trapheaux gracefully glides over in new release “Marble Floors”

Trapheauxly

Trapheauxly’s latest release, “Marble Floors,” is a smooth, seductive single that combines clean, complex rap verses with melodic R&B. The song’s production, soulful vocal harmonies, and steady rhythmic pulse create a luxurious yet emotionally grounded atmosphere. All of these elements work together to create this atmosphere.

The most impressive aspect of it is the way it shifts from a catchy melodic hook to a rapid-fire delivery of the lyrics. One moment, “Marble Floors” is silky smooth, and the next, it is razor sharp. This contrast is what gives the musical its identity.

When it comes to lyrical concerns of intimacy, devotion, and elevated aesthetics, the image of marble floors appears, time and time again, as a symbol of elegance and emotional weight. Trapheauxly is a polished package that combines style, substance, and value that cannot be denied in terms of replay value.

NIHLNØTHING unleashes increased tides on new release “ocean” Power

NIHLNØTHING

NIHLNØTHING’s latest release, “Ocean” is a powerful, immersive single that defies classification as heavy music. The track sounds huge, punishing, and emotionally complex, as the title promises, drawing on post-metal, alternative metal, sludge, groove metal, metalcore, and deathcore.

A sense of depth makes “ocean” appealing. The song balances atmosphere and intensity like a violent current under calm waters. This track has towering sonic weight and textured melodic darkness, suggesting it can go from hypnotic tension to explosive release in a heartbeat.

Genre DNA enables NIHLNØTHING to create something expansive. It has sludge, groove, metalcore urgency, and a post-metal mood that’s probably more than aggression. NIHLNØTHING excels in contrasting crushing weight with atmosphere, chaos with control, and brutality with reflection. Balance distinguishes loud from powerful music.
