The Afro-fusion star opens up on his latest rap collaboration

Burna Boy and Polo G connect over pain and progress on “Want It All,” the latest single from Burna, the self-proclaimed African Giant.

“Lotta pressure on me from those obstacles I’m moving through,” raps Polo G at the end of a verse on death, vengeance, and success. The song’s video features the two artists performing in a warehouse flanked by dancers, but its most touching and impressive moment comes as Burna reflects on the influence he’s had over his hometown of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and moreover, on his father. “I get emotional when I talk about my daddy,” he sings. 

Burna Boy, who has dubbed his cross-genre musical output Afro-Fusion, is no stranger to rap collaborations. Earlier this year, he teamed up with British rapper Headie One on the similarly guitar-driven but less sentimental “Siberia.” In the past, he’s hosted Naughty by Nature, Future, YG, and J Hus on his albums. 

After a high-energy Governors Ball show in New York, Burna Boy is performing on a festival circuit of cities including Sacramento, San Francisco, and Houston, as well as in his own Space Drift Arena Tour, with stops in Los Angeles, Paris, and Stockholm. This month, Polo G is also hitting the road for his headlining Hall of Fame Tour, named for his No. 1 album from June.

Monaleo has steadily built a strong connection with listeners over the past few years. She is an MC known for sharp lyricism and a high level of energy that shows up on every record. 2026 is shaping up to be an important year for her, with growing speculation that a larger project may be coming soon. That idea feels even more likely with the arrival of her latest release, “Crossroads Freestyle.” The brief, one minute track landed on YouTube on Tuesday and has already been getting a lot of positive reactions. Once again, Monaleo leans into her confidence, delivering tight verses over a smooth, consistent beat. It is a solid release that fans will definitely want to tap into.

Quotable Lyrics from Crossroads Freestyle

Getting cake by the pound, I'm greater than britain
I'm greater than Alex on top like a attic (Uh-uh)
You pushing for Clipse I'm peeping a Malice
But fear ain't a factor I'm up for the challenge
The queen of my palace from Houston, not Dallas
