From the hills of Bafut to the global stage, Kocee stands as one of Cameroon’s most intriguing voices. Known as “Cameroon’s Fastest Rapper,” Njang Mengu Collins is not just a musician, but a versatile artist, actor, and satirist who crafts compelling commentary through his work. After first catching attention with his rapid-fire bars and captivating storytelling, Kocee shifts gears with his latest single, “Oulala,” merging Afro-Caribbean bounce with his signature humor and incisive social critique.
“Oulala” is a vibrant fusion – part party record, part cultural roast, and entirely Kocee. The track features a lively and infectious beat designed to get feet moving, while the lyrics offer a sharp, cheeky, and refreshingly honest take on contemporary issues. Delivered in a dynamic mix of French, Pijin, and authentic street slang, Kocee fearlessly tackles everything from societal pressure to marry to male performance anxiety, addressing these topics not with pity, but with cleverly crafted punchlines.
Lines such as “Quand vas-tu te marier ? Parce que ton calendrier… T’as déjà la calvitie mon vieux” land like comedic jabs, brilliantly calling out society’s pervasive obsession with timelines, aging, and marital status. And when he quips, “On va faire l’amour ce soir mais on ne jouit pas,” it transforms intimacy into a humorous parody of mechanical performance, highlighting the absurdities of modern relationships.
With “Oulala,” Kocee expertly mirrors the absurdities of modern love and masculinity back to us, one fast verse at a time. If laughter truly is the best form of social commentary, then this track is a full-length feature. Press play, shake your hips, and prepare to be both entertained and enlightened.
“Oulala” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
