Keep up to date with the latest from Adebayo Dawodu:
Ilajide’s latest single, “SLIDE,” is a masterclass in turning introspection into a party anthem. Built around a funk-drenched Kleeer sample, the Detroit artist channels the energy of hip-hop’s golden era while delivering a message of spiritual growth and self-accountability. His flow is razor-sharp yet effortlessly smooth, weaving through the beat with a cadence that pays homage to legends like Big Daddy Kane. But this isn’t just a nostalgia trip—Ilajide’s signature futuristic production elevates “SLIDE” into a space where retro grooves meet modern sensibilities. The result is a track that grabs your attention with its rhythm and holds it with its depth.
What sets “SLIDE” apart is its duality. It’s a track that can command the dancefloor while simultaneously making you think. Ilajide’s lyrics reflect his personal journey of shedding old habits and embracing positivity, with lines like, “Spirit gettin’ clean but I’m kinda late wit it.” The hook—“Just Slide”—is both an invitation to let loose and a gentle nudge to move toward something greater. Whether you’re here for the funk, the bars, or the introspection, “SLIDE” delivers. As the lead single from his upcoming album Pocket Jams 2, this track sets the tone for what promises to be a bold, boundary-pushing project. Ilajide isn’t just making music—he’s crafting experiences that resonate long after the final beat drops.
