the fast-rising Hunnyboy has tapped the “Afrobeats Badman,” Kelvyn Boy, for the irresistible release of “Ghetto Girl.” Dropping in early February 2026, the track serves as a heartfelt tribute to the beauty and resilience found in the trenches, marking a significant milestone in Hunnyboy’s journey toward the mainstream.
The song is a lush, mid-tempo Afropop record that leans heavily into Highlife-inspired rhythms. While much of the 2026 landscape has been dominated by aggressive drill beats, “Ghetto Girl” chooses a more romantic and appreciative path. The lyrics tackle the theme of authentic love, with both artists celebrating a partner who remains loyal and grounded despite the challenges of humble beginnings. It is a smooth, vibrant piece that reflects their roles as champions of the “ordinary” girl, speaking directly to those who value character over material glitter.
Musically, the track features a bright, melodic guitar progression and a steady, rhythmic pulse that allows both vocalists to shine. Hunnyboy’s delivery is soulful and earnest, providing the perfect foundation for Kelvyn Boy to slide in with his signature smooth transitions and world-class vocal textures. By releasing this collaboration, Hunnyboy has effectively signaled his 2026 intentions—proving that he has the range to hold his own alongside the industry’s elite while staying true to his roots.
