International rap sensation and award-winning Ghanaian music icon M.anifest has just dropped “Puff Puff,” an uplifting anthem for these wild times. This multi-genre track, crafted by Budo, blends jazz, afrobeat, and hip-hop with a sprinkle of highlife. It’s a collaboration featuring Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and the innovative Nigerian highlife fusion band, The Cavemen.
Some parts of this track were recorded in Lagos with The Cavemen, while the finishing touches happened in L.A., where Flea added a mesmerizing trumpet solo. This song is like a musical melting pot, merging three distinct worlds. M.anifest delves into life’s constant hustle and the grit needed to keep going. Meanwhile, The Cavemen’s entrancing hook echoes the message: keep pushing, no matter what.
