Efi Cruise’s latest offering BLUE COLLAR melds sonic elements into a hypnotic cocktail of afrobeats, jazz, and soul.

The self-proclaimed Bayside Boy crafts a groove-laden soundscape where his scat-singing technique—typically reserved for bebop corridors—finds fresh territory within Afrobeats’ interlocking beat patterns.

“Many tings we don see for this life/Through the strife,” Cruise confesses in the opening, his voice riding atop syncopated percussion with effortless finesse.

The track’s production operates at the intersection of minimalism and complexity, with calculated gaps that heighten the impact of each instrumental accent.

What distinguishes BLUE COLLAR is its deceptive depth. While marketed as a tribute to working-class heroes, the lyrical narrative weaves through interpersonal dynamics: “You know say man a do the rap style music/It’s a real sensual music.”

This duality creates an intriguing tension beneath the track’s smooth exterior.

Cruise’s “Southern Afro-Jazz” manifesto materialises fully here—the highlife piano chords, funk-inspired bass, and jazz inflections coalesce into something distinctly his own.

The hook “I like to sing/She like to dance oh” becomes increasingly hypnotic with each repetition, embedding itself in neural pathways through calculated simplicity.

For weekend listening or late-night vibes, BLUE COLLAR delivers sonic comfort while showcasing Efi Cruise’s genre-bending innovation.

Ahhhh

Hm hm hm hm 

Many tings we don see for this life
Through the strife 
Don’t be moving like a psycho
Cause me no like no fabu 
You already know I really like you 
We was on the couch 
And you was me about you 
Said you like to keep it simple 
Eating on your Pringles 
Doing the shit that you choose 

Can’t be moving funny oh
You know when there’s something to loose 
But I like your body oh
Make we no come dey confuse 

Cause I 
Would keep the fight 
And we’d try 
To see this light 

Get to know me
The one and only 
For doing it slowly 
And big vibes only 

We go fly oh 
Me no lie oh 
Eh eh nayo

She don dey run oh 
Start to floss 
Body dey turn oh 

We go fly oh 
Me no lie oh 
Eh eh nayo

You know say man a do the rap style music 
It’s a real sensual music 
Take it and use it 
Just how you choose eh 

Make them give allowance make e fornicate

You know say man a do the rap style music 
It’s a real sensual music 
Please take it and use it 
And you better not loose it

She don dey run oh 
Start to floss 
Body dey turn oh

He want to jump

She don dey run oh 
Start to floss 
Body dey turn oh
