Nigerian singer-songwriter Teni has released her collaboration with American rapper Gunna on the new single Speed, after she shared a lively preview on social media that instantly lit up the internet. The collaboration marks another defining moment in the continuous musical exchange between Africa and North America, particularly the United States, with both artists pushing creative boundaries. The track is to be a high-octane fusion of Afrobeats and Trap, exhibiting the best of both worlds.
Teni brings her signature charisma, delivering verses that celebrate success, self-confidence, and the fast-paced journey to the top, while Gunna’s smooth verse adds a layer of international flair, complementing Teni’s energy and bridging the gap between Atlanta and Lagos. The instrumental is fast-paced and vibrant, leaning heavily on vibrant percussions and thumping basslines, hinting at a cross-genre hit designed for the dance floors.
Known for her energetic personality and genre-bending creativity, Teni continues to contribute to pushing Afrobeats into new territories, and Gunna’s smooth, melodic trap flow makes this partnership one to watch. The collaboration creates a dynamic exchange, a meeting of two worlds united by rhythm and ambition. With both artists bringing their unique styles to the table, Speed is shaping up to be one of the exciting international collaborations of the year.
