Lagos-born, Dubai-based artist AK7G steps forward with “NEW CAT,” a spirited new single and official music video, both out now following their October 2, 2026 release.
Building on his previous offering, “The Money,” AK7G combines Afro-house, electronic influences and jazzy saxophone in a record centred on ambition and making an entrance. Moving between English, Naija Pidgin and Yoruba, he keeps his Nigerian identity firmly within the song’s international club direction. Expressions including “kaluba,” meaning money, “shey you fit,” meaning “can you,” and “I no dey snogodo,” meaning “I don’t dull,” give its determined outlook a mischievous touch. The recurring title becomes his declaration of arrival, introducing someone ready to pursue success on his own terms.
The official music video develops that attitude through choreography, performance scenes and live saxophone moments. Fashion plays an equally important role, extending the track’s upbeat character into a visual presentation that puts movement and personal style alongside the music. Together, the song and accompanying imagery offer a clear introduction to the creative identity he is developing.
There is an appealing sense of purpose behind “NEW CAT”: it treats aspiration as something to celebrate rather than simply announce. The meeting of jazz-inflected instrumentation and club-focused electronics gives AK7G’s direction a distinctive foundation, while his playful use of language adds character to its confident premise. It is an inviting approach to African dance music, looking outward without leaving its cultural personality behind.
That outlook reflects an artist whose background spans entertainment, events and nightlife. Working across Amapiano, 3-Step, Afro-house and Afro-electronic music, AK7G is developing a wider creative presence that includes fashion, lifestyle, visual storytelling and live experiences. His ambitions reach across Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the African diaspora, with an emphasis on exploring new sounds rather than remaining within regional expectations.
Issued through AK5G ENTERTAINMENT, “NEW CAT” can be heard on Apple Music and Spotify. Further updates are available through AK7G’s Instagram and his official website, as the new single adds another release to the artist’s growing catalog.
