Perched at the pinnacle of African music, Phyno and Burna Boy have carved out a formidable legacy over a decade-long journey in the industry. Their latest collaboration, a remix of Phyno’s track, Do I, showcases their indifference to criticism and doubt. The duo’s nonchalant attitude is encapsulated in the song’s memorable hook: “Do I look like I give a f*ck.” This line, delivered with a blend of defiance and swagger, becomes a mantra, repeated with conviction by both Phyno and Burna Boy throughout the track.
The original version of the track, Do I, made its debut back in September, quickly capturing the attention of fans. However, Phyno, never one to rest on his laurels, decided to elevate the track even further. In a strategic move, he enlisted the skills of Burna Boy, who is currently reigning as the biggest Afrobeats artist globally.
Burna Boy has a reputation for delivering electrifying performances, especially when featured on tracks. True to form, he opens the remix with his distinctive style, asserting his presence right from the start. His approach is both a personal signature and a strategic move, setting the tone for the track. The lyrics “touch down oso ga eme, they know that I’m not one of them, odogwu looking like a million bucks, lean like a religious song,” flow effortlessly from him, melding perfectly with Phyno’s engaging and dynamic verses. Burna Boy’s lines on the song are a fiery mix of charisma and confidence, enhancing the track’s overall appeal.
