Mavin Records’ First Lady, Ayra Starr is back. The Afrobeats hottie surprised fans with “Rush,” her first official single following the release of her debut album, 19 and Dangerous, on August 6, 2021. It’s one of her most vulnerable, honest, and commanding records to date, where she sings about her money, the need to grind every day to preserve her status, and avoiding bad energy from her opponents. “Me no get time for the hate and the bad energy/ Got my mind on my money/ Make you dance like Poco Lee/ Steady green like broccoli/ Steady on my grind no wan hear what they wan telly me/ Kudi na my fantasy/ Dem wan dey check if my tap e no rush,” she sings over the poppy beat. “Rush” is track 13 on 19 & Dangerous (Deluxe).
