Spryt International produced the single, which was released last Friday as a free download online. Bilhazia is a single from ATI’s upcoming album Envelope that is scheduled for September 28.
Bilhazia carries that pop sound but despite ATI being a rapper, he plays around with the sound as he raps and sings on the song, being that old ATI who has that creative playful mindset when making music.
The song carries a versatile instrumentation, which is fused with an electro and pop sound with the latter being dominant. As a full package Bilhazia is a chilled up song.
Despite the track being named after Bilhazia, a tropical disease, there is nowhere on the song where he gets to talk of the disease.
However he talks of how people tend to talk about him, with some talking good while some talking bad about him.
He even goes to the extent of naming individuals such as Ozi F Teddy, Vee and Daniel Kenosi, stating they are talking about him without saying what they are saying about him.
“Bilhazia, that’s what I wanted to call the track. I had already come up with the name of the song before I recorded it. This is a rough sketch of how things were going in my mind,” ATI said.
The song comes out at a time when the rapper recently came out in the open stating that the reason he had to postpone his album for the past three years is because he was going through debt after paying up the legal team that was defending him during the kidnapping and abduction trial.
He said with the release of Bilhazia shows that he is now ready to release the full-length album. “I am finally putting out the project.
This is not a come back because I had intentions of dropping this project three years ago but due to challenges I faced, I had to wait for the right time,” said the Bilhazia rapper.
The song, which is currently free online for the coming six days will be put for sale on iTunes.
Bilhazia has received positive and negative feedback from people on social media platforms such as Facebook.
