Fuse ODG – Papi ft. Sarkodie & Righteous

Track 9 on Spirit Of New Africa II is “Papi” featuring Sarkodie & Righteous, and it’s the EP’s smoothest flex.

What the track is about:
“Papi” is flirtatious, confident, and all about vibe. Fuse leads with melodic vocals about attraction and presence, Sarkodie comes in with his slick, calculated rap verses, and Righteous adds another layer of Ghanaian charisma. The title “Papi” sets the tone — smooth, playful, and self-assured without crossing into arrogance. It’s a love/attraction record, but the real story is the chemistry between the three artists.

Production & Vibe:
The beat is mid-tempo Afrobeats with soft percussion, warm guitar licks, and a laid-back groove. It’s designed for late nights and easy replay. The production gives each artist space to breathe, so it feels balanced rather than crowded. You can hear the Accra influence in the bounce and the cadence.

Why it matters on the EP:
After the heavy cultural and motivational tracks earlier, “Papi” brings the project back to personal connection and fun. It shows the range of Spirit Of New Africa II — you can go from “My Village Is Burning” to this and it still feels cohesive because it’s all rooted in Ghanaian identity and sound. It also gives the EP a crossover moment with two of Ghana’s most recognizable voices.

Standout energy:
This is the date-night, cruise-through-town, “turn it up for the vibe” track. The Sarkodie feature alone makes it a highlight for fans.
