Stepping into the dark, lyrical arena of the “WYFL Riddim,” the “Wudini” himself, Obibini, has unleashed a chilling masterclass in wordplay titled “Scary Deity.” Released in early February 2026, this track serves as a stark reminder of why Obibini remains one of the most feared lyricists in African hip-hop, trading the typical dancehall flair for a haunting, rap-focused assault.
Over the heavy, brooding production by DJ Mac and CrashDummy, Obibini adopts a persona that is both godly and ghostly. The record distinguishes itself through its sheer lyrical density; where others use the riddim for rhythmic vibes, Obibini treats it as a battlefield for elite bars. He weaves complex metaphors and rapid-fire internal rhymes that justify the “Scary Deity” title, positioning himself as an untouchable force in the rap game who is essentially “playing God” with the microphone.
“Scary Deity” is a high-stakes flex of technical skill. The track highlights his ability to adapt his flow to the sliding basslines of the drill-infused riddim without losing his signature boom-bap precision. It is a dense, atmospheric piece of music designed for the “lyrical heads,” proving that even on a global dancehall beat, the Zylofon Music veteran can command absolute respect through pure bars and a menacing presence.
