Iyabo music video by GuiltyBeatz ft Falz & Joey B is available 


According to emPawa Africa on YouTube,it states that "Award Winning DJ/Producer GuiltyBeatz releases the first single from his upcoming EP DIFFERENT, IYABO featuring Nigeria's FALZ and Ghana's JOEY B. The track pairs two of West Africa's brightest hip-hop talents over a bounvy,buoyant beat calibrated for global dance floors".

From the onset, there are two points to consider. Where it says, "Award Winning" ,they are probably making reference to one of the hit songs called AKWAABA which featured artists like Mr Eazi,Pappy Kojo and Patapaa. This helped GuiltyBeatz to gain recognition in the music scene and this led him to receive awards. Secondly,the fact that he is collaborating with hip-hop artists FALZ and JOEY B proves that they are breaking the boundaries of the hip hop scene yet becoming successful with this bouncy beat.

There is only one meaning behind the song Iyabo. According to tooxclusive.com,it states that,"Iyabo is a Yoruba name that belongs to female child. On this song they are looking for who impregnated Iyabo. Falz and Joey seems guilty of the offence". This shows that the music video explores one issue faced by women which is unwanted pregnancy.

The music video was released by emPawa Africa on 15 January 2020.
