Influenced by Burna Boy, Dave, Wizkid, Popcaan. Jay Kobb, a magnetic force from South London with deep Ghanaian roots, is forging a unique path in the Afroswing scene. His distinctive rap-sung delivery, honed through years of freestyling and community performances, effortlessly blends the infectious rhythms of Afrobeats with the gritty edges of UK drill, delivering sun-drenched anthems from his home in Peckham. His powerful vocals, often accompanied by his own rhythmic percussion, channel the melodic storytelling of Burna Boy and the lyrical dexterity of Dave.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Pavement Praise, we turn the concrete gold
Whole block singing stories that they never told

[Verse 1]
This new wrist-piece glinting off the condensation
But the foundation's built on years of demolition
Used to pray for heaters in the winter, no exaggeration
Now the floor is heated, different level elevation

[Chorus]
Pavement Praise, we turn the concrete gold
Whole block singing stories that they never told

[Verse 2]
Still take the 36 bus just to feel the vibration
See the old Rye Lane shops under new renovation
The aunties see me, say "E b like say you don make am"
But this heavy chain is just a reinforced anchor, yeah

[Bridge]
And the old heads on the corner, they nod a little different now
Like the blueprint we were sketching finally figured itself out

[Chorus]
Pavement Praise, we turn the concrete gold
Whole block singing stories that they never told

[Outro]
From the kerbstone up. Oya.
