Zlatan and Davido Unite on “Hip Hop Messiah”: A Bold Anthem of Street Power and Purpose
Nigerian hitmaker Zlatan joins forces with Afrobeats superstar Davido on his electrifying new single, “Hip Hop Messiah.”
“Hip Hop Messiah” is a collaborative anthem that fuses Zlatan’s street-hop fire with Davido’s Afrobeats mastery, creating a record that blurs genre lines while amplifying the energy of both artists.
Davido opens the track with a commanding verse and pre-chorus, injecting his signature charisma and melodic drive that instantly elevates the song. Zlatan follows with his rapid-fire delivery, weaving Yoruba, Pidgin, and English to narrate his journey with trademark confidence and grit.
Together, they craft a chant-like hook that feels built for stadiums and street corners alike — a unifying chorus that captures the spirit of resilience and pride running through Nigerian hip-hop and Afrobeats.
Produced by Chechdaproducer, “Hip Hop Messiah” stands as a colossal anthem, primed to dominate clubs, parties, and airwaves across Africa and beyond.
The single comes off Zlatan’s third studio album, “Symbol of Hope,” a 15-track collection pulsing with motivation and sonic diversity. The album features a stellar lineup including Davido, Olamide, Flavour, Victony, Mayorkun, FOLA, Qing Madi, and more — cementing Zlatan’s place as one of Nigeria’s most consistent and culturally significant voices.
