Buju’s journey to the top is a glorious watch, one of the very few in the industry that is climaxing exactly the way his audience envisioned. From being a social media freestyle savant to Burna Boy’s protégé, the singer has a lot to be grateful for. And, as his journey so far culminates into a debut project slated for a later release, he links his past, present, and future on Testimony, a single that joins the vocalist in Buju that quickly became an internet sensation over four years ago and the singer with an ear for what makes the mainstream tick these days.
Over dense drums and tempered keys produced by Blaisbeatz, Buju showers his muse with praise that rhymes, alluding to his knack for poetry-inspired lyricism and an effect that not only sways but sticks. Length-wise, there’s not much to Testimony’s lyrics, but Buju makes up for this sparseness by working Blaisebeatz’s instrumental in that signature head bobbing manner now associated with his brand.
