The original version of "Talibans" Writing about the song at the time, The FADER's Brandon Callender said "the Saint Kitts and Nevis dancehall artist oscillates between sinking into the song’s deep groove and spotlighting his resonant vibrato. His vocal control makes me think of how artists like NoCap switch from tough-talking raps to full-blown yelps seemingly without warning." Messia's No Love project dropped in January.

Burna Boy's latest album, Love, Damini, was released last summer. It featured "Last Last," voted The FADER's No.1 song of 2022. More recently he shared "Sittin’ On Top Of The World" featuring 21 Savage.
