Kiing Lu Is Clearly Leading The Afrodrill Charge With His Exciting New Fire Record ‘Get Up (Dance)’ Featuring Bkay Eastgaad, Nextee & Liya

Afrodrill pioneer, front-runner & general, Kiing Lu, is turning up the pressure with his latest release, “Get Up (Dance),” a lively new single featuring Nextee, Bkay Eastgaad & Liya that brings together two worlds that might sound unlikely on paper but feel right at home together on the record: Drill music and Fuji.

Serving as another bold statement from an artist carving out his own lane within the ever-evolving African music landscape, “Get Up (Dance)” delivers an energetic fusion built around rhythm, attitude and movement.

Drill has become synonymous with its hard-hitting rhythms, dark textures and commanding flows, while Fuji carries its own distinct Nigerian identity, driven by percussion, call-and-response energy and the unmistakable vocal traditions that have shaped generations of music lovers.

On “Get Up (Dance),” Kiing Lu brings these contrasting musical identities into the same room.

The result is an Afrodrill record with a distinctly Nigerian pulse.

Rather than simply placing Fuji elements over a Drill beat, the record leans into the possibilities created when both sounds interact. The production gives Kiing Lu and his collaborators room to switch between streetwise Drill energy and Fuji-inspired musicality, creating a record designed to hit both the ears and the dance floor.

It is gritty, rhythmic and unapologetically Nigerian.

Afrodrill itself sits at an interesting intersection of cultures and sounds. It takes the attitude and rhythmic foundation of Drill and filters it through African musical influences, creating something that can feel simultaneously global and deeply local.

Kiing Lu has embraced that intersection, and “Get Up (Dance)” shows just how much room there is to experiment within it.The record doesn’t appear interested in following a conventional formula. Instead, it asks a simple question: What happens when Drill meets Fuji and the only instruction is to get up and dance? Apparently, the answer is a pretty energetic one.

Kiing Lu doesn’t take the journey alone. Nextee, Bkay Eastgaad and Liya add their own presence to “Get Up (Dance),” helping give the single the collaborative energy that makes it feel built for a crowd. Their contributions complement Kiing Lu’s Afrodrill direction and reinforce the track’s central idea: this isn’t Drill designed simply for listening — it’s Drill with movement at its core.

“Get Up (Dance)” is also significant because it arrives as a single from Kiing Lu’s incoming album, “Militant Mindset Volume 2.” The project serves as the follow-up to his previous album, “Militant Mindset Volume 1,” continuing a musical series that has become central to his artistic identity.

If Volume 1 established the foundation, Volume 2 represents the next stage of the journey.

And “Get Up (Dance)” offers an intriguing preview of what listeners can expect.

The fusion of Drill and Fuji suggests that Kiing Lu isn’t simply looking to repeat what came before. Instead, he appears to be expanding the Afrodrill formula, exploring different textures and bringing more elements of Nigerian musical culture into the sound.

That makes the upcoming project one to watch for fans interested in the evolution of African Drill.

And while we excitingly await that album, this right here is an fire, exciting & banging jam to turn our playlist up!!
