Kenyan dancehall singer Badscar is back with a new release ‘Lockdown’ which sets the pace as he continues to dominate in the ever-evolving East African dancehall scene.
“This is more than just a club banger, it is a statement declaring that I am here to reign supreme,” he says.
The track, teased as the first in a series of electrifying releases, blends sharp social commentary with the artist’s signature bravado.
Known for his lyrical agility, Badscar describes ‘Lockdown’ as a bold experiment in vocal delivery.
“It’s about proving I can switch flows while staying true to myself,” he says.
A veteran in a genre where trends shifts quickly, his ability to stay ahead of the curve is no accident. “I don’t copy-paste. You either innovate or get left behind,” he says.
His refusal to jump on fleeting fads has cemented his reputation as a dancehall purist with an unshakable edge.
But “Lockdown” isn’t just about flexing lyrical prowess. Beneath the rhythms he subtly critiques Kenya’s socio-political climate.
“Oppression by leaders can’t go unchecked,” he notes, hinting at more politically charged releases on the horizon. “My music is not just about vibes, I plan to use it a s a tool for change.”
The track also sets the stage for high-profile collaborations, with Badscar teaming up with industry heavyweights Versatile and Zamzam.
“Fans should expect nothing less than madness,” he says, embracing his larger-than-life “Big Poppa” persona.
