Rohees glides with Grace on “SEXY MAMA”, a vintage love letter to sance and desire: “Oh girl, you fine, your body banging… your body ta le nu, your body spicy.”

From the very first lines of Rohees’ latest release, “SEXY MAMA”, the tone is set, bold, rhythmic, and irresistibly smooth. It’s a track soaked in playful seduction, where Rohees’ signature chilled delivery meets a groove so intoxicating, it’s hard not to move.

The lyrics dance as much as the beat does “Body like candy… you thief my heart, you make me kolo, it’s not allowed” capturing a balance of vintage romanticism and modern streetwise swagger.

This isn’t your regular club jam, even if it plays like one. There’s a quiet genius in how Rohees arranges his sound: layered vocals, mellow percussions, and instrumentation that draws from the golden age of Afrobeats while remaining defiantly current. The production is textured, minimalist enough to let his voice shine, yet dynamic enough to grab you by the waist and pull you to the dance floor.

Yet while “SEXY MAMA” shows Rohees at his confident best, there’s room for growth. The songwriting, though catchy and vibe-rich, occasionally leans too heavily on familiar tropes.

A deeper narrative or lyrical twist could elevate future releases beyond just sonic pleasure into more emotionally resonant territory. Rohees has proven he can deliver mood and melody, now, listeners will be watching to see if he can evolve that into storytelling mastery.

There’s a lot of Olamide DNA here not in style, but in trajectory. Like Baddo in his early years, Rohees understands that real resonance comes from blending the streets with soul. “Sexy mama, the way you whine your sexy bumbum…” could easily be tossed off as cheeky fluff. But when Rohees says it, there’s intention. There’s a wink. There’s a groove. And most importantly, there’s class.

Unlike today’s fast-consumption hits, “SEXY MAMA” doesn’t just bang it lingers. It’s a vintage wine in a world of soda pop. With references to “Omo to ma jo jo jo, Omo to ti jah jah jah,” Rohees weaves cultural touchstones with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what lane he’s in: cool, mature, and unbothered.

This track is yet another step in what’s shaping up to be one of the most quietly impactful musical trajectories in Nigeria today. Rohees isn’t chasing co-signs or viral dances, he’s building a discography that will age well.

And just like Olamide and Wizkid in their prime, he’s beginning to look like a generational voice on his terms. If “SEXY MAMA” is anything to go by, then Rohees isn’t just riding the wave. He’s crafting his own tide.
