Victony expands his global reach with a revamped version of ‘Slick’, enlisting American rapper Don Toliver and R&B singer Summer Walker for a collaboration that connects Afrobeats with contemporary sounds from the US. The release follows the arrival of his sophomore album, ‘Starlife’, adding another dimension to the Nigerian artist’s growing catalogue.
The remix began taking shape online after Summer Walker posted a preview of herself singing over the original record, giving it the playful title ‘Thick Slick Remix’. The snippet quickly generated interest, setting the stage for an official version that brings her contribution together with Victony and Don Toliver.
Behind the production, Ozedikus and Dëra preserve the essence of ‘Slick’ while opening up space for the additional voices. Victony’s fluid melodies anchor the track, Don Toliver introduces his atmospheric approach to rap and melody, and Summer Walker adds the smooth, intimate delivery that has become a signature of her R&B sound.
Rather than simply extending the original, the rework gives ‘Slick’ a new identity through the contrast between its three performers. The combination of Afrobeats rhythms, hip-hop textures and R&B vocals creates a meeting point between distinct musical styles, broadening the track’s appeal beyond its initial audience.
The release also reflects Victony’s continued movement across international music circles. Following ‘Starlife’, the collaboration with Don Toliver and Summer Walker reinforces his ability to build connections across scenes while keeping his melodic sensibility at the centre of his music. With ‘Slick’ taking on a new form, Victony continues to push his sound into wider territory.
