Establishing the mood with an emotive soundscape and cerebral ad libs, T9 da prince opens Let’s Go, featuring Ya Minko, Franck T, and Fuhhrare with a dimensional energy and optimistic prose as we are taken on a journey that taps into the lived experience of each of the collaborators.
We learn that Let’s Go was influenced by the diverse backgrounds of each of the artists. The sonic landscape is a fusion of Afrobeats and Latin hip-hop. Speaking on the collaborative release, T9 da prince tells us how each creator added a unique element to the opus, inspiring each other to manifest a cohesive and dynamic piece of global artistry.
As for the intention behind the tack, he says, “The song’s core message of triumph against all odds, symbolizing victory in various aspects of life.” We love the multi-lingual energy that transpires, and the empowering vibes. The flow from each artist is nothing short of epic, with uniqueness brought to life by each performance. The track is also laced with hypnotic hooks – perfect for an inspiring montage in a sports based Netflix series, like the new show, Olympo.
The creative process behind Let’s Go is also pretty interesting. It turns out that T9 and Ya Minko discovered a Brazilian funk beat, and instantly connected its high-octane vibe. They embraced their curiosity and started work on the track. Franck T was subsequently brought on board, and came through with his French-African flavour. Meanwhile, Fuhhrare cements the track’s authenticity with his undeniable Brazilian essence!
Lyrically, it’s a victory song, described by T9 as “triumphant”. It’s about overcoming self-doubt and adversity, and manifesting one’s dreams – a soundtrack for personal evolution and collective celebration. It was produced at The Hollow Studios in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Naturally, we will be adding Let’s Go to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists when it drops on Spotify. In the meantime, we continue to explore the wider discography of T9 da prince and his collaborators, and anticipate future releases from all!
