about

Following the release of his critically acclaimed album 199X last year, Suté Iwar returns with a new single titled ‘alright ok’, his first under London and Johannesburg based label Outer South.

As a rapper, singer, song-writer, and producer hailing from Nigeria, Suté Iwar has a deep knowledge and passion for music which comes across very well in his songs. He has worked on developing his distinctive sound, by learning various instruments and going to specialised music schools, allowed his to release his first mixtape at the young age of 15. Since dropping his first mixtape Jeli in 2014, he’s garnered support from the likes of Earmilk, PGM Club, Native, Culture Custodian and RADAR Africa.

‘alright, ok’ follows an afro-fusion formula, by taking typical African elements but blending it with an R&B, soul and a lo-fi vibe. The song describes an image of two people being in love, but still facing challenges. The song presents themes of uncertainty and reassurance – something we can all surely relate to! His personality shines through the song with adlibs and bits of the instrumental you can only catch if you’re really paying attention.

As spring starts to appear, this song fits extremely well with radio play and on a range of playlists, both in Nigeria and overseas.

2022 will see Suté release his next full length project, titled ULTRALIGHT, via Outer South.

lyrics

Did it fast did it slow
Same guy with that jelí flow
Mama said look what you done
Think about how far you’ve come
Fear god but don’t fear no one

I gotta get up and over
I gotta get myself to you
And before the nights over
I’ll make up a song just for you
I feel as we get closer
You feel it too tell me the truth
See my mind don’t lose focus
Just know that I’m focused on you

Monsters trying to steal my light
Watch out no it really can’t work out
Really got nothing I should worry bout’
My karma feels so legit
But look at this
I took a risk doesn’t get better than this
I’m flying but it’s alright
More life when I let it flow
Your bad vibes can’t affect my temple Mental special
Whoa

I gotta get up and over
I gotta get myself to you
And before the nights over
I’ll make up a song just for you
I feel as we get closer
You feel it too tell me the truth
See my mind don’t lose focus
Just know that I’m focused on you (2x)
