Nigerian Afro-fusion artist Laime returns with a powerful new single titled “Fire,” featuring acclaimed collaborators Odumodublvck and Hotkeed. Produced by Thrillmax, “Fire” blends the vibrant energy of Afrobeats with a sharp hip-hop edge, creating a bold sonic experience that reflects Laime’s signature sound and ongoing artistic evolution.

The track opens with a subtle guitar riff layered over a heavy Afrobeats instrumental. Odumodublvck sets the tone with smooth harmonies that seamlessly ease into the rhythm. Hotkeed follows with a dynamic verse that glides over log drums, delivering a feel-good tempo and standout lines like, “No, put your feet for my show e no go fit size you.” Laime’s vocal control and tone bring the record together, as he rides the beat with effortless clarity and presence.

This single builds on Laime’s rising momentum, including past releases like “Where Dem Dey” (featuring Odumodublvck, produced by Thrillmax) (culturecustodian.com). That track received widespread press coverage, including from The Guardian Nigeria (guardian.ng), and has been visualized and streamed across major platforms.
