Following the success of the reimagined versions of afrobeats classics Photocopy (which featured Vector and 9ice), and Olufunmi (which featured Fireboy DML, Odumodublvck, BOJ, and Joeboy), legendary Nigerian producer ID Cabasa is back with another exciting reinvention. This time, he breathes new life into Bere Mi, enlisting the dynamic talents of Zlatan and TI Blaze. The track seamlessly blends nostalgia with contemporary afrobeats, offering a fresh yet familiar sonic experience for both long-time fans and a new generation of listeners.
Originally released under Cabasa’s Coded Tunes imprint, Bere Mi was a staple in the Nigerian music scene, capturing the essence of love, longing, and deep emotions. The new version, infused with Zlatan’s energetic delivery and TI Blaze’s streetwise melodies, transforms the song into an anthem that speaks to the modern afrobeats audience while retaining its soulful roots.
Zlatan, known for his signature street-hop style and infectious ad-libs, brings a vibrant and rhythmic energy to the track, giving it an undeniable bounce. Meanwhile, TI Blaze, with his introspective and melodious approach, adds depth to the song, making it resonate with those who appreciate heartfelt lyricism. Their synergy, under the expert production of ID Cabasa, results in a track that feels both timeless and contemporary.
ID Cabasa has long been revered for his ability to shape Nigeria’s music landscape, having worked with icons such as 9ice, Olamide, and Wizkid. His recent trend of reimagining classic songs not only celebrates Nigeria’s rich musical history but also reintroduces these timeless records to a younger, global audience. With the rework of Olufunmi still making waves, Bere Mi continues this movement, proving that great music transcends generations.
With Zlatan and TI Blaze on board, Bere Mi is set to become a street anthem, bridging the gap between old-school lovers of Nigerian R&B and today’s afrobeats enthusiasts. The track’s infectious beat, powerful lyrics, and masterful production showcase why ID Cabasa remains one of the most influential producers in the industry.
As fans embrace this reimagined classic, the question remains: Which song will ID Cabasa reinvent next? Whatever it is, one thing is certain—he has mastered the art of blending nostalgia with modern innovation, and the industry is all the better for it.
