“Extra pressure baby when you whine and pose/ you killing the boy of course,” have been lyrics that light up the Kenyan club scene this second half of the year.
They are off Bensoul’s track Extra Pressure, in which he features Bien Aime Baraza for a cocktail of powerful vocals and audacious lyricism.
The track has been undoubtedly successful, rising to number 2 on YouTube’s Trending for Music within a week of its release, and receiving over 1.7 million streams on Spotify since.
Now, the artistes have released the highly anticipated video for the track.
Fans are treated to colourful scenes, expressive fashion and even appearances by popular TikTok sensations like Nasieku and Ajib Gathoni.
The video is set around pristinely decorated glass, with visuals including a choreographed dance scene, and even a band of little men playing instruments.
“Extra Pressure featuring Bien is the oldest song in my new album. We wrote the song three years ago,” Bensoul told Nairobi News last month.
He added: It was meant to be on Bien’s album (Alusa Why are You Topless), but his team rejected it because there were so many things he had planned for his first album (as a solo artiste) and they felt Extra Pressure didn’t fit in. So when they rejected it, I told Bien, please give me back my song.”
The track is off Bensoul’s 2024 second studio album The Party & The After Party.
