Nigerian Singer Tomi Thomas Recruits Buju Banton For ‘Hurricane’ Music Video: Watch

Nigerian singer Tomi Thomas has teamed up with Dancehall legend Buju Banton on a new track titled Hurricane.  Shot between Jamaica and Nigeria, the @daliadias-directed visuals premiered on Banton’s birthday on July 15.

Model and dancer Isabella Ayomobi (@isabellaayomobi) stands in as nature’s fury in the sexy visuals that begin with a booming and familiar Buju intro and a powerful beat highlighting Tomi’s vocal range.

“The music from within will always transcend time and space,” Thomas said of the track.

“Like a hurricane again (hurricane again) // She coming like a hurricane again // Say lord // Hurricane again // She coming like a hurricane again,” Tomi sings on the chorus, while we get a glimpse of 1992’s Batty Rider Buju as he spits:

“And all when mi act like she nuh deh pon mi side
She gimmie good loving and gimmie good ride
Mi seh nothing couldn’t measure
And nothing cyan hide Pum Pum shorts reveal your backside
When mi see you walk round and mi cyan hide mi pride
Come ya baby gimmie nothing but sweet loving
Yuh think I’ll hurt you mek yuh feel like yuh deh inna heaven
A true yuh beauty Yuh such a cutie
Haffi parade that a your point of duty
Wine baby wine rotate mek it shake
Go deh Buju Banton just give it to them straight
Now”

“Thomas is leading the way on the African music scene with a modern representation of sound artistry,” according to a release. Earlier this year, he released the song Again, and the music video garnered over half a million views within the first month of release.

Tomi launched his solo career after years in the popular musical group Loud On Sound (LOS). In releasing his debut album, the single Ready Or Not reached #1 on the Soundcity Nigeria’s Top 10 Chart.
