Man, Tems is literally on fire right now in the AfroBeats scene. To me she’s so powerful. Her style, lyrics, the beat. It’s almost year inducing to me. Probably my most listened to artist of the last 6 months. This song is just unreal to me.
If I was the ganja, the ganja
You bring the lighter, the lighter
Roll me in Rizzla, in Rizzla
Set me on fire, fire

I stuck this in my que recently. Damned kids had some show on that threw up a cover of smells like teen spirit so it reminded me of this one. Plus, I've been in a mood lately. This year blows fucking ass, and this seems to fit the mood, so I've rolled it through several times.
Whatever you may think of the sylistic choices or the song writ large, it is an inspired performance.
A long those lines, I have to give props to the team at Marvel for putting it in Black Widow. Now The show will probably catch some hate given the box it has to try to entertain it's way out of, but it is a pretty big swing to put the song in, and to me it really worked.
