On this new track, Badi mixes his committed and caustic lyrics with contemporary Afrobeat rhythms and an avant-garde electro-house sound, L'Ancestral Soul, produced by the talented Boddhi Satva.
Badi personifies the influence of the African diaspora in today's pop culture by choosing to draw inspiration from the public figure of Virgil Abloh, iconic Ghanaian-American designer and artistic director of a French haute couture house.
Badi and Boddhi Satva chose to shoot the video clip at the Bushman Café, an emblematic establishment in the Ivorian capital, and during La Sunday, an infamous party in Abidjan, under the gaze of the photographer From Abidjan with styling by Young Nouchi.
Virgil Abloh is the first ever release on Batakari, a brand new collaborative imprint from Boddhi Satva and BBE Music founder Peter Adarkwah.

Lyrics :
FR
Tu es africain depuis Wakanda - Moi depuis Soundiata Keita
Plus Zulu Chaka que T’challa - Va dire à Zemmour je m’appelle Ndeka
Tout ce qui brille n’est pas wolo (or) - Valeur de l’homme n’est pas euro
Je ne suis pas à la mode mais j’ai du style - Je te le dis en toute modestie
Je suis Off-White comme Virgil Abloh
L.V comme Virgil Abloh
Africain comme Virgil Abloh
Parti de rien Virgil Abloh
Refrain :
Virgil Abloh (x8)
T’es nappy mais t’as rien dans la tête - Je préfère un bab qui porte des dread
Je suis l’africain du futur - Ils se réapproprient notre culture
Les blancs se mettent de l’auto-bronzant - Les noirs, produits éclaircissants
Tu sabres le champagne sans eau courante - Dernier smartphone sans le courant
Je suis Off-White comme Virgil Abloh
L.V comme Virgil Abloh
Africain comme Virgil Abloh
Parti de rien Virgil Abloh
Refrain :
Virgil Abloh (x8)

You’re African since Wakanda - I’ve been since Soundiata Keita
More Zulu Chaka than T’challa - Go say to Zemmour my name’s Ndeka
Everything that shines isn’t wolo (gold) - Value of man is not Euro
I ain’t trendy but I got style - I say this in all modesty
I’m Off-White like Virgil Abloh
L.V. (Louis Vuitton) like Virgil Abloh
African like Virgil Abloh
Self-starter like Virgil Abloh
Refrain :
Virgil Abloh (x8)
You’re nappy but got nothing between your ears - I prefer a hippie with dread locks
I’m the African of the future - They're re-appropriating our culture
White people get self-tanning - Black people, brightening products
You out the champagne without running water - Latest smartphone without current
I’m Off-White like Virgil Abloh
L.V. (Louis Vuitton) like Virgil Abloh
African like Virgil Abloh
Self-starter like Virgil Abloh
Refrain :
Virgil Abloh (x8)
