West London riser’s Flash Provoke and BDE team up for rhythmic new single ‘Lean On Me’.
Following on from his summer sizzler ‘Synergy’ Flash Provoke returns to the sphere with ‘Lean On Me’ a track that sees the lyricist go back to back with fellow West Londoner BDE. Embracing their West African heritage, the record is a seamless blend of Afrobeats and smooth but sultry rap lyrics. To accompany the vibrant single, the visuals for ‘Lean On Me’ resemble the seamless exchange of energy and wordplay between the two musicians.
Flash Provoke speaking on the track “Lean on Me encapsulates a playful approach towards the topic of romance and love, both artists expressing their appreciation to their significant other in a raunchy but sincere manner.”
Family, religion, and self-expression are topics very close to Flash Provoke and can be easily heard through his music. Influenced by the likes of Burna Boy, Fela Kuti and Duncan Mighty, the West London musician continues to tap into the sweet sound of the diaspora.
Flash Provoke is transitioning into the artist he has always desired to be as one of London’s rising artists, embracing both his Nigerian roots and London base. Receiving support from ONES TO WATCH, NEW WAVE MAGAZINE, CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HER (We Plug Good Music), and CULTURE CUSTODIAN, more determined than ever, this year Flash Provoke has proved he is in a league of his own creating music that reflects the variety of African sounds that he knows and loves.
Flash Provoke has shown nothing but consistency in 2023 with his authentic sound and is set to continue his growth as his career flourishes. Alongside BDE ‘Lean On Me’ is an effortless collaboration that everyone needs to tap into.
