Internationalboy is back with another hit record titled “Gio Do”, the latest single off his highly anticipated forthcoming mixtape, Camp101. Backed by Lahor Music Worldwide, the talented Afrobeat star dives deep into Benin’s vibrant culture to deliver a rich track in sound and storytelling. In “Gio Do,” which translates to “Problem Child,” Internationalboy tells a story of resilience, determination, and staying true to oneself in a world of distractions. The track draws on his own experiences as someone who has passionately and stubbornly chased his dreams, refusing to follow the crowd. The message is clear: Internationalboy stays in his lane, but if tested, he’s not afraid to cause waves.
Adding to the depth of the track, Internationalboy samples the legendary Sir Victor Uwaifo’s popular song “Igodo Gio Do”, blending the timeless essence of Uwaifo’s artistry with his modern Afrobeat style. This fusion not only pays homage to one of Benin’s musical icons but also adds a layer of cultural significance to the song.
“The idea behind ‘Gio Do’ is about not going with the flow just to fit in,” says Internationalboy. “It’s about staying true to yourself, knowing your path, and understanding that if anyone steps out of line, you’re ready to handle it. That’s the ‘Problem Child’ energy.”
Lyrics and Storytelling: The lyrics reflect this fierce mindset, with lines that capture the essence of standing alone yet standing strong, offering a relatable narrative for those who have ever felt misunderstood or out of place. Internationalboy taps into this energy with raw emotion, set against the backdrop of the rhythms and culture of Benin, where strength and individuality are celebrated. “Gio Do” tells the tale of someone willing to cause real trouble if provoked, despite preferring to walk his own path.
This single isn’t just about making noise; it’s about passion, grit, and what it takes to survive in a world that often tries to box you in.
