Bad Boy Timz Unleashes Electrifying New EP WA JO PA
An 8-Track Celebration of Life, Culture, and Pure Vibes
Nigerian Afropop hitmaker Bad Boy Timz (real name Olorunyomi Oloruntimilehin) kicks off 2025 with his highly anticipated new project, WA JO PA—an 8-track EP that fuses street swagger with infectious melodies, delivering a sonic experience that is both fresh and fiery.
Following the momentum of his 2023 debut album No Bad Boy, No Party—which featured industry giants like Olamide and Zlatan—this new release marks a significant evolution in Timz’s artistry. A proud Bells University computer engineering graduate, Timz has once again channeled his deep musical instincts to craft a project that celebrates energy, freedom, and culture.
WA JO PA, which translates to “Dance Till You Burst” in Yoruba, lives up to its name with high-tempo tracks and genre-blending bangers. From the vibrant grooves of “Say Wetin”—a bold celebration of Nigerian Pidgin English—to the genre-fusing “Later”, the EP is a testament to Timz’s versatility.
Highlights include:
-
“Big Engine” – A dancefloor magnet with “infectious Asewo vibes,” spotlighting confident, beautiful women.
-
“Yo-Yo” – A high-energy standout praised for its relentless vibe and bounce.
-
Production credits – Primarily helmed by Reward Beatz (tracks 1, 2, 4, and 7), who brings a dynamic and polished soundscape to the project.
In a bold move, Bad Boy Timz goes completely solo on this EP—no features, just raw, unfiltered Timz. The result is a cohesive, no-skip body of work that showcases his vocal range, songwriting skills, and growth since breaking out with his 2020 smash hit “MJ.”
WA JO PA is also a statement of independence, reflecting Timz’s journey through label challenges and eventual rise with his own imprint, Shock Absorbers, in partnership with EMPIRE. With past hits like Loading, Move, and Big Money, Timz continues to define what it means to blend Afrobeats heat with street credibility.
🎧 Listen to “Big Engine” now and prepare to vibe through the rest of the EP—it’s a soundtrack built for dancefloors, playlists, and parties from Lagos to London.
