With hits like “Akpako” and “Free Madness,” Terry G has built a reputation for his eclectic and provocative style, blending elements of Afrobeats, dancehall, and street-hop.
Despite both artists being known for their bold and eccentric approaches to music, Terry G believes his longevity and continued relevance set him apart from Portable.
The two artists have collaborated in the past, with Portable featuring Terry G on his song “Ogbafia” and both appearing on C Prince’s “Koba.”
