Samini Ft Manifest – Bomaye

Samini and M.anifest bring reggae and rap together on Bomaye, a powerful record from Samini’s ORIGIN8A album that borrows its title from the famous chant that greeted Muhammad Ali in Kinshasa. The dancehall pioneer and the Madina lyricist share a song about strength, resistance and the fighter’s spirit, and the official video gives it a cinematic home.

Samini’s commanding delivery and M.anifest’s literate, carefully built verse blend over a production that mixes reggae, hip-hop and Afro-fusion. The official video and a lyrics video are on Samini’s channel.

What Bomaye is about

“Bomaye” means “kill him” in Lingala, the chant of the Kinshasa crowd at the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974, and the song uses it as a metaphor for facing down giants. Samini sings about the battles of a long career, M.anifest raps about the fight for respect and artistic integrity and the chorus turns the chant into a call to keep swinging. It is one of the most ambitious records on the album.

About M.anifest

His 2026 collaborations include “On Ten” with O’Kenneth, “No More Sleep” with Kwesi Arthur and “Road Rage” with Black Sherif, all on GhanaSongs.com.

The meeting of two minds on Bomaye

Samini and M.anifest come from different corners of Ghanaian music, one rooted in reggae and dancehall, the other in hip-hop, and Bomaye shows how well those worlds can meet. M.anifest’s verse is dense with references and ideas, the kind of writing that rewards a second and third listen, while Samini gives the song its rallying cry.

The Muhammad Ali reference gives the record a sense of history, and it suits two artistes who have both spent long careers fighting for respect on their own terms. On ORIGIN8A, it is one of the songs that best captures the album’s mix of pride and defiance.
