The journey showcases Drela’s versatility, creativity, and talent. Each track on the EP is to highlight his versatility, offering listeners different tastes that blend traditional Afrobeats rhythms with contemporary influences.” 

“This project is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a declaration of intent, a powerful statement that Drela is here to take over and elevate the AfroBeats Genre to new Heights,” the singer said.

 The “Bad Boy” EP opens with “Celebracion,” a vibrant anthem that sets the stage for the project with its celebratory energy and infectious melodies.

The song is a raw and honest exploration of love, loss, and the desire to make things right. He expresses the pain of being ignored, feeling lost and broken since she left.

“Crazy Loner” offers an introspective look at solitude and self-discovery, using haunting melodies to evoke a sense of vulnerability. 

The EP ends on a calm, reflective note with “Dance in the Rain,” an uplifting track about finding joy amidst challenges, and “Like Share & Repost,” a laid-back, satirical commentary on social media culture.
