The “Koma Roll” Remix is a high-energy Afropop anthem that stands as one of the most significant collaborations in the early 2010s Nigerian music scene. Following the success of the original track featuring Vector, Tillaman assembled an “all-star” lineup of the era’s heavyweights to deliver a club-ready spectacle. The track blends infectious percussion with diverse lyrical styles, ranging from Phyno’s signature Igbo rap to Burna Boy’s early dancehall-infused melodies.
