Phenom and Dremo Combine Forces for Balenciaga
At its core, Balenciaga uses the luxury brand as a metaphor for status, exclusivity, and the high-stakes game of survival in the industry. But the flexing is just the surface. The real heart of the song is the craftsmanship. Phenom opens with a flow that instantly reminds listeners why he was once hailed as one of Nigerian rap’s brightest prospects. His verse is layered with metaphors, coded wordplay, and clever internal rhymes that reward repeat listens.
Dremo steps in with equal intensity. His verse drips with swagger — confident, cocky, and full of quotable bars that could easily double as Instagram captions. His cadence is aggressive yet controlled, and he matches Phenom punch for punch. Their chemistry is undeniable, giving the track the energy of an elite rap cypher captured in its rawest form.
The production is intentionally minimal: booming 808s, a dark piano loop, and little else. The beat doesn’t compete — it creates space. It’s a canvas designed for bars, not background noise.
Balenciaga is not chasing radio or playlists. It’s a statement piece — a reminder that rap, in its purest form, is still alive in Nigeria. It taps into the fashion-obsessed culture of today’s youth but flips it, using the trendiness as an entry point to deliver gritty lyricism and technical mastery.
For Phenom and Dremo, this is more than a collaboration; it’s a re-assertion of dominance. A reminder that when it comes to flow, cadence, delivery, and pen game, they remain at the top of the food chain. Balenciaga is a heavy-hitting, head-nodding testament to the fact that bars still matter — and these two came armed.
