Ari PenSmith is a British-Nigerian songwriter/producer that has written or produced for top Afrobeats artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido and Tiwa Savage. Him and P2J (another British-Nigerian producer/songwriter) are one of the driving forces in this new era of Afrobeats.
@@ziabenjaminmusic Nope! Pidgin English came before Jamaican Patois and Vex is NOT a Jamaican term. Vex originates from late Middle English "vexen" < Old French "vexer" < Latin "vexāre" to shake, jolt, harass, annoy, frequentative of "vehere" to carry, convey. Same way Pikin in Pidgin English and Pickney in patois originates from Portuguese words like "pequeno" and "pequeninho." Blessings and love! 💪🏾🇳🇬😂
Im so worried someone is gonna discover this song and make this blow up that much that we will listen to this song on the radio or on tiktok, and we will get tired of it. I can’t describe how much I love this song.
Me no lie, me no lie Got lost in her eyes Found something I like, yeah Weren't even my type Me no lie, me no lie We had drinks all night Put my phone on silent And I don't know why No, I couldn't leave her Shoulda said, "bye, Felicia" Must have been the tequila I wish you had amnesia Come, come, what I did can't be undone Kiss her cheeks, baby, run, run Don't give my love to no one (no one) Bad bella when she get (when she get) You gon' try, try so you not forget (forget) No, no forgiveness, oh, ah, ah To the left, to the left (to the left) Wanna take a real lie reset (ah) She said, "no domino effect, " oh, ah, ah And I say no vex, oh (no vex, oh) No vex, oh, ah No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh) No, baby, don't vex, oh, ah And I say no vex, oh No vex, oh, ah No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh) Don't vex, oh, ah I just wanna get behind you on the dance floor Then I take her back to that, back to the dance club Handsome, always call me handsome, then I hand grab Throw tantrum if you leave me, that's it Lord, no lie, when I ride on a beat I just try to supply when the beat good Think you don't even care about your man though Rap good, but I think I'm an asshole Fuck me good then I fuck so long That the moon and the sun switch position, a sinkhole And I roll it over, I call it a pick roll I'm on top, I don't mind if we switch roles Next morning when we leave, you can switch clothes Pissed off, you ain't get my number when I hit you Real nice with the words but I'm mean with that nice stroke And I kinda bite though, alright, ho? Bad bella when she get (get, get) You gon' try, try so you not forget (don't forget, oh, ah) No, no forgiveness, oh, ah, ah To the left, to the left (to the left) Wanna take a real lie reset (oh) She said, "no domino effect, " oh, ah, ah And I say no vex, oh (no vex, oh) No vex, oh, ah No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh) No, baby, don't vex, oh, ah And I say no vex, oh No vex, oh, ah No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh) Don't vex, oh, ah
It’s not “bad Bella when...” it’s “bad belle wey...”. It’s Nigerian slang for holding a grudge. That’s why the song is called “no vex”....basically saying “don’t be mad”
The production on this is sooo on point. The vocals hit an incredible pocket and are just compliments to the overall composition, such that listening to this song never gets old. Every part works seamlessly and the end result is a auditory master piece! Definitely not vex!
I love music.. I don't usually hear a particular song repeatedly.. But this song.. I keep listening again and again.. So addictive.. Kaytranada is my new favorite artist keep going.. Kay.. 😊
forever love this masterpiece. the feels and the vibes are immaculate!! the one song I will always have on repeat it’s one of my favourites, a true hidden gem for me and I love it sm.
I want someone to do a cover of this amazing song. With an african kora, tablas from india, polyphonic group of voices, and the sample in the back. A multicultural cover as the original. I think that's one of the best songs I've ever heard.
literally love this song sm, can’t explain how obsessed I was with it since I first listened.. still am. will forever be on repeat it’s too underrated for me, the vibes are immaculate ! kaytranada and gold link are amazing i'm obsessed. this was my secret song… but overall it’s a masterpiece. 🔥🔥🫶🏼😩
WHO IS STILL PRESENT TO LISTEN TO THIS BANGER IN 2024?
This song is being repeated repeatedly!!!! That bassssssssssss
it sounds a little bit off-key to me though 😕
great album anyway
mothersuperior100 fr
@johnny lasagna yes I do
Marceloooo
Still bomb.
This gives me Afro Beats vibes 💃🏽
Emilia Carr same! I think they’re even speaking pidgin english too

no diaspora wars please...sheesh just enjoy the song
Ik Fwégo! ”Bad belleh wey she get”
No doubt, this song is heavily afro-beat and Nigerian pidgin influenced!
One problem with this song.
It ends!
wow no ur wrong this song is perfect, disagree. you deserve dislike
@@DaFlavourFace He means that the song ending is bad not that the song is bad
Very refreshing comment, I have never read any of this kind
y’all in the comments r weird😭
JUST LOOP IT BROTHA!!
This song is so addictive! It just gets better after each listen...
EXACTLY!
This song needs a video already
I’ll settle for a virtual performance.
No sideorite..
I feel so bad for people who still dont know this song. Absolute Banger!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
I discovered it this week, can't believe I slept on it for this long🤧
My lil brother put me on, love it ❤
Discovered this week, what a nice song ☄️
This hook hits different during quarantine
Hloniphizwe Mthembu my room isn’t big enough to vibe in it
🤣🤣
SIM
@@megantheestallionzl3214 é yes caraio
Shiiiiiiiid...er'thang hit different now 🙄😂😂
I’m loving the Afro and Caribbean vibe on this album
vex oh and 10% dopest tracks
2 The Music
Oh no
2 The Music, Need It, Culture, Taste, Vex Oh are my top 5 (not in that order). But the whole album is a ride.
MIDSECTION WOULD LIKE A WORD
Puff Lah? Freefall?
Im so worried someone is gonna discover this song and make this blow up that much that we will listen to this song on the radio or on tiktok, and we will get tired of it.
I can’t describe how much I love this song.
Same
Please please pray it stays away from tiktok🥺
It never happens to artists under the warp label
@@giftcardgiveaway697 what’s that
Yea
Kaytranada back killin' it.
I will NEVER outgrow this SONG. This was a MASTERPIECE by KAYTRA, Eight9Fly, GOLDLINK & ARI
Same, at my wedding, fuck the traditional songs, turn this up and everybody better vibe
That's my summer jam, I already know I'll be blasting this
Aged well
This aged well
Corona said no
This record is literally PERFECT
Me no lie, me no lie
Got lost in her eyes
Found something I like, yeah
Weren't even my type
Me no lie, me no lie
We had drinks all night
Put my phone on silent
And I don't know why
No, I couldn't leave her
Shoulda said, "bye, Felicia"
Must have been the tequila
I wish you had amnesia
Come, come, what I did can't be undone
Kiss her cheeks, baby, run, run
Don't give my love to no one (no one)
Bad bella when she get (when she get)
You gon' try, try so you not forget (forget)
No, no forgiveness, oh, ah, ah
To the left, to the left (to the left)
Wanna take a real lie reset (ah)
She said, "no domino effect, " oh, ah, ah
And I say no vex, oh (no vex, oh)
No vex, oh, ah
No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
No, baby, don't vex, oh, ah
And I say no vex, oh
No vex, oh, ah
No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
Don't vex, oh, ah
I just wanna get behind you on the dance floor
Then I take her back to that, back to the dance club
Handsome, always call me handsome, then I hand grab
Throw tantrum if you leave me, that's it
Lord, no lie, when I ride on a beat
I just try to supply when the beat good
Think you don't even care about your man though
Rap good, but I think I'm an asshole
Fuck me good then I fuck so long
That the moon and the sun switch position, a sinkhole
And I roll it over, I call it a pick roll
I'm on top, I don't mind if we switch roles
Next morning when we leave, you can switch clothes
Pissed off, you ain't get my number when I hit you
Real nice with the words but I'm mean with that nice stroke
And I kinda bite though, alright, ho?
Bad bella when she get (get, get)
You gon' try, try so you not forget (don't forget, oh, ah)
No, no forgiveness, oh, ah, ah
To the left, to the left (to the left)
Wanna take a real lie reset (oh)
She said, "no domino effect, " oh, ah, ah
And I say no vex, oh (no vex, oh)
No vex, oh, ah
No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
No, baby, don't vex, oh, ah
And I say no vex, oh
No vex, oh, ah
No, baby, don't vex, oh (no vex, oh)
Don't vex, oh, ah
Thank you!
Donny Rampage Thanks 🙏🏾
This shit litty
It’s not “bad Bella when...” it’s “bad belle wey...”. It’s Nigerian slang for holding a grudge. That’s why the song is called “no vex”....basically saying “don’t be mad”
Kaytranada bless you!! 🔥👏🏻
That synth at 0:34 makes me want to hum every time I hear it
This song just gives me a feeling of nostalgia
me too
Same bro
This album is way too good for me to have one favorite, but this song is def one of them!
I'll be _vexed_ if this doesn't feature in Black Panther 2 😤💯🙅
Edit: RIP Chadwick 🕊🙏
fchsean TRUSTTTTTTT
For real
Amen!
fchsean lol Yasssss
Bro it has to
The only bad part of this song was the fact it wasn't released in the summer :(
Ofc another amazing Kaytranada project
these are fucking summer vibes vro
Kind Citizen was it tho?
Kind Citizen proof?
@Kind Citizen it was released in December 2019
How does it make it bad though? It's going to be jamming this summer regardless of release date.
The production on this is sooo on point. The vocals hit an incredible pocket and are just compliments to the overall composition, such that listening to this song never gets old. Every part works seamlessly and the end result is a auditory master piece! Definitely not vex!
Couldn't hit it more spot on
This is a BANGER!! 🗣🗣
This song is toxically stuck in my head
Same here!
Kaytranada needs to release a music video for this ❄️
this song needs an extended version ASAP
goldlink x kaytranada rly mesh like bread and butter tbh and who is singing?? like wowww

Same guy from Joke Ting with GoldLink. Both 🔥
I imagine this is what it would sound like if The Weeknd made Afro Beat music
with all due respect The Weeknd doesn't groove like this
@@acousticnext2564 he is african im shocked he hasnt done it yet
jashard wallington he’s East African, they move different in the east
Yessss
