Whykay Showcases Audacious Versatility in ‘ More of Me’
If versatility had a voice, it would sound a lot like Whykay’s. The self-proclaimed Miss Versatile steps boldly into the spotlight with her new project, More of Me—a brief but boisterous four-track EP that proves she’s not here to play safe or be boxed into one genre. The rapper, singer, songwriter, and content creator showcases her full artistic range in this impressive offering, gliding between trap, afrobeat, and poetic rap with ease and confidence.
Track 1: Heavy Duty (1:47)
Opening with a thumping trap beat and crisp production, Heavy Duty is pure lyrical flex. Whykay goes full braggadocious mode, establishing her presence as a force to be reckoned with. She raps with conviction, stamping her name in bold on the Nigerian hip-hop scene.
Favorite line:
“City on my back heavy duty / Got to run the cheque / Tell them I’m next / My name on the flex”
A bar that sticks like a hook and echoes the song’s title.
Track 2: Jibiti (2:13)
Switching gears, Whykay taps into her Afrobeat bag with Jibiti. A smooth saxophone intro and a bassline that gives Ojuelegba vibes set the tone for a reflective and cautionary track. Mostly delivered in Yoruba, this one is a “shine your eye” anthem — a warning about betrayal, pretenders, and staying grounded.
Favorite line:
“Stay on the low before dem put you below.”
It’s melodic, thoughtful, and highly relatable.
Track 3: Sensations (2:17)
Back to rapping, but with a romantic, poetic twist. Sensations sees Whykay trading bars while Djinee (of Ego fame) delivers a soothing chorus that elevates the track’s sensuality. This is arguably the standout moment on the EP, blending emotional vulnerability with lyrical sharpness.
Favorite chorus line:
“I like your flirtation / You send me all vibration / Soak me in your sensation.”
It’s a vibe-heavy experience that lingers.
Track 4: No Bang (2:48)
Closing the EP with energy, No Bang is a fast-paced, no-nonsense jam where Whykay demands authenticity from a love interest. She calls out fake lifestyles and empty boasts, and her delivery is as spicy as the lines she drops.
Killer line: “Big mouth no action / You dey cap die / See tantrums / Flex for the ‘Gram / But your pocket dry.”
One of the brightest qualities of More of Me is its sonic diversity. Each track carries its own identity, and yet, together, they form a cohesive statement of who Whykay is: multi-dimensional, expressive, and fearless. It’s like welcoming guests and offering them your finest meals — everything is served hot, fresh, and rich in flavor.
From the production to the vocals, lyrics to delivery, More of Me is a commendable effort that introduces Whykay not just as an artiste, but as an experience. This is only the beginning — and there’s clearly more to come.
