Not3s is back with a new single, “So Far Gone”, featuring Mayorkun, and we are so excited to premiere its accompanying music video here at Wonderland.
This track and video are particularly important to the U.K. artist, who travelled to Lagos to film it. As he connects strongly with his Nigerian roots, he marks a new chapter of authenticity with a sound evocative of his heritage and the future of his sound. Truly all his own, this era evolves upon over six years of a successful career, with hits “Addison Lee” and “Aladdin” topping the charts. At the forefront of the Afro-Swing movement, he has continued to impress and expand upon his artistry, refining his sound and perspective into a beautiful artistry.
The Hackney born and raised star has always paid homage to Nigeria, incorporating Yoruba slang into his lyrics, he fully embraces his heritage with “So Far Gone”. Featuring Nigerian afrobeats Mayorkun, the song was inspired by a deep connection to his ancestry and the culture he was brought up in. A feel-good track with catchy melodies, complex beats, and strong vocals, “So Far Gone” is brought even further to life with a vibrant video. With stunning headshots and Nigerian dress, the visuals star Not3s himself alongside Mayorkun. Enigmatic, atmospheric, and full of beautiful colours, it’s in a class all itself.

Push it push it, push it, push it..
Hmmm, ATG music
Going up like the World Cup
Ain’t been held much
Did it all with my own team
No one helped us
From the mud had to get up
Not no mug when I’m fed up
Got the family they stay fed
Always cooking with no apron
Did it for my city
But ain’t as far gone as Akon
Oh Cali but still I’m on one
Running it like Mayor
Make you disappear
To a island that is rare
Ain’t no fussy moves I swear
Mama Mia you don go far away
And since you have been gone
I’ve been a shell once again
When I see you I got so much to say
I know I’ve been wrong
Take me back once again
So far gone
Take me back once again
So far gone
Yeah take me back once again
My style plenty things come round
They wanna go down
But I can’t play foul
Make them hear the sound
Through the town
Win with my dogs no pound
Wish my queen was around
So far gone
Take me back once again
So far gone
Yeah take me back once again
Mama Mia you don go far away
And since you have been gone
I’ve been a shell once again
When I see you I got so much to say
I know I’ve been wrong
Take me back once again
So far gone
Take me back once again
So far gone
Take me back once again
So far gone
Take me back once again
So far gone
Yeah take me back once again
