Born and raised in Nigeria, Sturge brings together his Afrobeats influences with elements of trap on the new track. The production is laid-back and understated, while the lyrics lean into something much more confident and boastful, giving ‘Ballin’ the feel of a late-night summer track without losing its edge Sturge and Kant go back-to-back throughout, trading verses and matching each other’s energy over the relaxed production. Although the track centres on success and ambition, there is also an awareness of everything that comes with trying to build a career while navigating pressure, expectations and the unpredictability of life around you.
