About This Track
Asake and Travis Scott trade verses over a production from Mike Dean and Sarz that sits somewhere between trap and Afrobeats, all propulsive rhythm and minimal melodic furniture. The hook is simple and repetitive, a boast delivered in unison: "Oh men, I'm active." It's a claim that needs no elaboration. Asake's half leans into Yoruba vernacular and street vernacular in equal measure, moving between declarations of presence and material success with the ease of someone for whom both are assumed. Scott arrives in the second half with his own flex, the American rapper's drawl landing differently against the Lagos-inflected production. The song doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is: a straightforward assertion of status, wealth, and the lifestyle that follows. There's no narrative, no emotional arc, just two voices confirming what they believe to be obvious fact.
"Active" is a single by Asake, released 6th August 2024. Full lyrics are available below.
