Victony and Terry G’s new song is a street anthem in the making. The duo brings together fresh Afrobeats energy and street pop grit in a way that has fans talking nonstop.

When you mix the new school’s golden boy with one of Naija’s most unpredictable legends, you already know something wild is about to drop. That is exactly what happened on August 8, 2025, when Afropop sensation Victony teamed up with the king of street madness himself, Terry G, for the fire single ‘Tanko’. This link-up is more than just music, it is a cultural handshake between two eras.

Terry G’s Big Comeback

If you know Nigerian music history, you know Terry G is not just another artiste, he is a whole movement. From the mid to late 2000s, Gabriel Oche Amanyi, a.k.a. Terry G, ran the streets with bangers like Free Madness and Run Mad. Then, he went quiet for a while, leaving fans wondering if the energy god had retired his bells. But in May 2025, he broke the silence with Kolomala, a loud reminder that Terry G’s sound still slaps. Now, with ‘Tanko’, he is not just back, he is back in the middle of the dance floor.

What ‘Tanko’ Really Means

In street football slang, “Tanko” is about grit, resilience, and playing hard till the final whistle. Victony uses the track to flex his journey, talking about the hustle, the scars, and the sweet taste of progress. His smooth vocals set the pace while Terry G crashes in with that signature high-voltage energy that made him a household name. Together, they build a sound that’s fresh for Gen Z but still feels like the street anthems millennials grew up on.

The Sound and The Feel

Produced by The Element, Bantu, and Blaisebeatz, ‘Tanko’ is layered with bouncing Afropop beats, street-pop swagger, and dance rhythms you can’t ignore. The Element and Bantu bring the clean, modern polish, while Blaisebeatz keeps it rooted in that raw African groove. Victony’s melodies glide over the beat like silk, while Terry G’s raspy, charged delivery punches through like fireworks.

The Video is Pure Vibes

The visuals match the energy perfectly. Directed with a sunny, carefree vibe, the music video shows vibrant beach scenes, youth in motion, and the kind of joy that makes you forget your problems for a few minutes. It is not just about music, it is about living loud, pushing through challenges, and still finding moments to laugh and dance.

Why This Song Matters

‘Tanko’ is proof that Nigerian music is a living, breathing thing that evolves without forgetting its roots. Victony represents the current wave, sleek and global, while Terry G brings the raw, untamed street energy that shaped the sound. Together, they bridge two timelines, proving that when the old school and new school link up, the culture wins.
