Phyno and ArrDee join forces for cross-cultural anthem ‘Time of My Life'.
Nigerian rap icon Phyno teams up with UK rap star ArrDee for their electrifying new single ‘Time of My Life’. The collaboration blends Phyno’s native Southern Nigerian rap style with ArrDee’s playful UK flow, creating a cross-cultural celebration of success, confidence, and living in the moment. Produced by JaySynths, who has worked with the likes of Burna Boy and CKay, the track is a fusion of dance-worthy Afrobeats and heavy-hitting rap, resulting in a global anthem.
Phyno, renowned for infusing his Igbo heritage into his music, continues to push boundaries on this track while staying true to his roots. Speaking about the collaboration, Phyno said, “This is all about celebrating success, enjoying life, and staying true to where you come from.” His bars, delivered in a mix of Igbo and English, seamlessly flow into ArrDee’s high-energy wordplay, with the British rapper even sprinkling Igbo phrases into his verses. “It was mad fun jumping on this track with Phyno. Bringing two different cultures together is what makes music powerful,” ArrDee shared.
The accompanying music video, set to drop soon, is expected to showcase the duo enjoying life’s highs, surrounded by luxury and vibrant visuals, reinforcing the song’s carefree and celebratory vibe.
‘Time of My Life’ also sets the stage for Phyno’s upcoming fifth studio album Full Time Job, and the track serves as a bold reminder of Phyno’s global ambitions. With over a decade of dominance in the African rap scene, Phyno’s continued evolution promises to elevate him even further. “This is just a preview of what’s to come,” Phyno says, “I’m ready to take this sound worldwide.”
As Phyno readies his next chapter, ‘Time of My Life’ marks a significant moment, showcasing his talent for blending genres and transcending borders.
