‘Paper,’ a colloquial term for money in Nigeria, is one of the six tracks on the joint deluxe project by street-hop rising star TML Vibez, and DJ 4kerty. This feel-good song celebrates life’s vibrant moments, with TML Vibez enlisting Afro-pop sensation Young Jonn to enhance its appeal.
True to the spirit of street hop, “Paper” isn’t just about celebration; it’s also a bold expression of the deeply ingrained desire for financial success. Unlike many of his contemporaries who narrate tales of the street’s harsh realities, TML Vibez aims to distinguish himself, as evidenced by his recent project, by fundamentally instilling hope in the streets through an aesthetically pleasing way; with abundant colours.
Directed by one of Nigeria’s finest visual storytellers, Director K, the music video brings this colorful vision to life. He skillfully translates TML’s lyrics into a serene depiction of street luxury. The video is crisp and complemented by stylish vixens, reinforcing TML’s message in ‘Paper.’ Lyrics like “it’s written mo ma lowo” (meaning “it is written I shall be rich”) are magnified to a larger-than-life scale, making the aspiration almost tangible.
With ‘Paper,’ TML Vibez not only showcases his musical prowess but also his vision of bringing hope and vibrancy to the street-hop scene. His collaboration with DJ 4kerty and Young Jonn results in a track that is both sonically pleasing and thematically uplifting, which sets a new standard in the street-hop sphere.
‘Paper’ is available for streaming on platforms like Audiomack and Spotify. The visual expression of the track can be viewed on YouTube.
