It takes a visionary to conceive a genius idea—and that’s precisely what ID Cabasa embodies with his Re-Imagined series. A trailblazer in Nigerian music production, Cabasa has taken the bold step of reworking classic hits with a new generation of chart-toppers, creating a bridge between eras with remarkable finesse.
One can only speculate on the creative process behind assembling such an eclectic and star-studded lineup. From the lyrical dexterity of Vector to the soulful tones of Fireboy DML, and the street-savvy energy of Odumodu, Bella Shmurda, and Zlatan, each artist brings a unique texture to the project. Add to that the melodic voices of Joeboy, Boj, Ajebo Hustlers, T.I. Blaze, and rising talent Ayomaff, and you get a sonic tapestry that pays homage to legends like 9ice and 2Phat while pushing the boundaries of contemporary sound.
As anticipation builds for the forthcoming album “Unfinished Business”, Cabasa has been releasing tracks from the Re-Imagined series in measured doses—each one a carefully crafted gem. The most recent drop, “Anytime (Re-Imagined),” featuring Bella Shmurda, AyoMaff, Ajebo Hustlers, and the iconic 9ice, has set social media ablaze with praise.
What truly sets this project apart is Cabasa’s curatorial genius. His ability to match voices, styles, and energies on each track speaks to a deep understanding of music as both art and chemistry.
With the full album on the horizon, one thing is certain: ID Cabasa is not just revisiting the past—he’s reshaping it for the future. Unfinished Business promises to be the triumphant culmination of a musical masterstroke.
