Patoranking just dropped a scorcher. His latest single, “No Jonze,” is out now via Amari Musiq and it feels like both a throwback and a wake-up call.
Running a lean 2:37, “No Jonze” is produced by DeeYasso, and it fuses the gritty ’90s Galala rhythm (Ajegunle underground dancehall energy) with modern Afrobeats sheen. From the first bounce, the track drags you into Lagos street heat: raw drums, deep bass, a hook you’ll hum on repeat.
Lyrically, “No Jonze” is Patoranking’s roadmap for staying sharp. The slang “no go dey Jonze” translates to “don’t act foolish”, a blunt but needed reminder in a sea of half-steppin’ energy. He weaves in lines about frenemies, money moves, and not losing yourself in flex culture. His voice, sandpaper smooth but commanding, makes even warnings sound sexy.
This single also sets the tone for his next studio album (his fifth), serving as the lead single that hints at what’s to come. For longtime fans, “No Jonze” is proof that Patoranking still walks between dancehall fire and Afrobeats fire. For new listeners, it’s a bold introduction, swagger with substance.
