American rapper Latto teams up with British-Nigerian R&B singer Odeal and Afrobeats superstar Wizkid on “Anxious,” a standout cross-cultural collaboration from her 2026 album Big Mama.
Released on May 29, 2026, the track appears as the 14th song on the project and marks one of Latto’s most notable ventures into Afrobeats-influenced soundscapes. The collaboration blends hip-hop intensity with smooth Afro-R&B and Afrobeats rhythms, creating a global fusion record aimed at both mainstream and international audiences.
On “Anxious,” Latto delivers sharp, confident rap verses, while Odeal adds silky melodic hooks that enhance the song’s emotional texture. Wizkid completes the record with his signature laid-back cadence and rhythmic delivery, bringing a distinct Afrobeats identity to the collaboration.
The production merges hip-hop drums with Afro-inspired percussion and atmospheric layers, resulting in a balanced sound that allows each artist’s style to stand out while still working cohesively as a single record.
Heavily teased through studio clips and social media previews, “Anxious” generated significant anticipation ahead of release, drawing attention from both Afrobeats and hip-hop audiences worldwide.
With its cross-continental lineup and genre-blending approach, “Anxious” stands as one of the key international moments on Big Mama, highlighting Latto’s expanding global reach and the continued influence of Afrobeats on mainstream music.
