Feel the ground tremble — a king has roared into the scene.
Nigerian Afro-Psych artist PVRKSIDE released his electrifying new single “Mufasa”, now available on all major streaming platforms. It’s more than a song, it’s a bold proclamation of power, purpose, and unshakable self-belief.
“Mufasa” is lyrically charged and sonically fierce, with PVRKSIDE channeling his inner beast to announce that he’s here to take his rightful place in the music game. From the very first line, he spits with venom and vision: “Been sleeping on myself, now me I’m back for this spot / Tell these niggas make them pack and mooooove.” It’s a battle cry, a warning, and a statement of intent all wrapped in one.
The track draws deeply from PVRKSIDE’s personal journey — navigating life’s harsh realities since the age of 19. His flow is laced with raw emotion, grit, and the kind of confidence that can only come from lived experience. His self-proclaimed transformation into a “modafucking monster” isn’t just bravado, it’s a reflection of his hunger, his evolution, and his refusal to be overlooked.
The booming, hard-hitting beat underscores every bar, providing a cinematic backdrop as PVRKSIDE references his northern roots and weaponizes his pain into purpose: “Cock my gun, my clock⚔️ and dagger” and “Beasts from the North” paint a vivid picture of his strength and survival.
Yet, “Mufasa” isn’t just aggression, it carries depth. PVRKSIDE honors lost dreams and fallen heroes, including his late brother Dangyem, turning the track into both a tribute and a testimony. It’s this mix of raw ambition and emotional reflection that makes “Mufasa” hit hard and linger even harder.
With bars like “I’m putting myself on the map, me so proud of me / No limit to this game, shit is pedigree,” PVRKSIDE makes it clear, he’s not just entering the scene; he’s taking over it.
Don’t sleep on greatness. Stream “Mufasa” now and witness the rise of a lion in the jungle of Afrobeat.
