You can hear Burna Boy and Stormzy reuniting on record for ‘Real Life’ below.
As well as Stormzy, Burna Boy’s new album also features collaborations with Coldplay‘s Chris Martin, Youssou N’Dour, Sauti Sol and Naughty By Nature.
Speaking to NME in his recent Big Read interview, Burna Boy spoke about recruiting Martin to sing the hook on ‘Monsters You Made’.
“I had the two verses and an empty space for the hook, but in my mind I was like: ‘Bro, if I don’t get Coldplay on this one then I’m just gonna release it with no hook’,” he remembered.
“I don’t know the English words to put this in, or the politically correct words to use for this, but [Martin’s] one of the only people that could bring that balance and still relate.”
