Zanku Records boss Zlatan has returned to assert his dominance over the street-pop scene with the release of his high-octane new track, ITALAWA. Coming off his joint success with ODUMODUBLVCK on MOTION SICKNESS, the native rap powerhouse steps back into the solo spotlight with a frantic, dancefloor-ready anthem.
Co-produced by PuffyBeatz and Chech, ITALAWA leans on an intense, elevated tempo that blends heavy, distorted Amapiano log drums alongside raw Yoruba street percussion. The relentless, high-impact backdrop provides the ideal foundation for Zlatan to layer his energetic chants, signature ad-libs, and rapid-fire punchlines designed to launch new dance crazes.
The title ITALAWA – a Yoruba street expression translating to “we are outside” – serves as an assertion of power, resilience, and street supremacy. Throughout the record, Zlatan pairs witty local idioms with themes of financial success and survival, dismissing critics while championing the daily grind. His charismatic performance delivers an infectious energy that reinforces his enduring role as a key voice in Lagos street culture.
