The Makanaki herself, Teni, has teamed up with the YBNL boss, Olamide, for the soulful and introspective single Zion. The track's songwriting is top quality as it brings together two of Nigeria’s most talented storytellers. Zion moves away from high-tempo club sounds, opting instead for a mid-tempo, guitar-led arrangement that allows the vocal performances to shine with emotional clarity.
The track is a spiritual and aspirational journey, with both artists reflecting on their paths to success and the protection they seek along the way. Teni’s powerful, soulful tenor provides a beautiful contrast to Olamide’s calm, poetic rap delivery. The chemistry between them is effortless, born from years of mutual respect and a shared ability to craft lyrics that resonate with both the streets and the high-society elite.
Accompanying the release is an official lyric video that emphasizes the song's deep messaging. Social media has been quick to praise the collaboration, noting that the track feels like an interesting piece of African music. Zion is a testament to the growth and versatility of two artists who continue to redefine the boundaries of Afrobeats.
