“Yo Izy, Are You Kidding Me?” We’d say IzyBeats’s tagline exactly sums up this drop. For the occasion, he chose a very important guest list: Manuel Turizo and Stefflon Don. And there’s definitely no need for presentations. But if there was, here are some numbers for you all.
NAME: Manuel Turizo Zapata
NATIONALITY: Colombian
DATE OF BIRTH: 4/12/2000
INFO: Best New Latin Artist (2018), nominated twice for the Latin Grammys (Best Urban Song and Best Urban Interpretation for ‘Pa’ Olvidarte’) and more than 1 billion streams for ‘La Bachata’.
NAME: Stephanie Allen aka Stefflon Don
NATIONALITY: British
DATE OF BIRTH: 12/14/1991
INFO: Best Female (MOBO Awards 2017), Best New Artist (NME Awards 2018), XXL Freshman Class (2018).
‘Tu’ has the dancehall and Latino vibes mixed with some rare African-Caribbean sounds. Released just a few days ago, we will probably hear this banger more and more this summer.
It’s the whole package, one of those things you already know is gonna be big – maybe even worldwide. It’s also smart to have a collab that puts together many different listeners. We’re all just waiting for the next hit to dance to. Especially if we’re talking about Manuel Turizo, who has recently reached a huge success despite the young age.
‘Tu’ comes with the right melody and, most importantly, a chorus which is easy to remember and sticks in the head. There’s not much more to say. The song is good, as well as the production, and there’s a serious attempt to reach the top of the global charts. Business as usual for these three names.
