Victony Teams Up with Terry G for Explosive New Single “Tanko”

Fast-rising Afropop star Anthony Ebuka Victor, better known as Victony, has joined forces with veteran street-pop icon Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly called Terry G, for a bold and high-energy new single titled “Tanko.”

The track, released on August 8, 2025, merges two distinct eras of Nigerian music, delivering a sound that is both fresh and nostalgic.

The collaboration sees Victony’s smooth, futuristic Afrobeats style intertwined with Terry G’s chaotic, electric energy—a fusion that has quickly captured the attention of fans. Tanko draws its name from Nigerian street football slang, using it as a metaphor for grit, ambition, and the tension between discipline and distraction.

The song’s infectious hook and vibrant beat are paired with candid lyrics about hustle and lifestyle, with Victony setting the tone before handing the mic to Terry G, whose eccentric delivery adds an unmistakable punch.

The build-up to the release began on August 6, when Victony teased snippets of the track on social media, sparking widespread anticipation. By the time it dropped, Tanko was already trending, with listeners praising the synergy between the new-school star and the self-styled “Ginjah Master” of Nigerian street-pop.

For Victony, whose recent hits include Stubborn and the viral Soweto, the collaboration marks another milestone in his rapidly rising career. For Terry G, it’s a reintroduction to a younger audience while reaffirming his influence on Nigeria’s pop culture.

With its blend of street authenticity and polished Afropop production, Tanko is poised to dominate playlists, dancefloors, and airwaves in the weeks ahead, standing as a testament to the power of bridging musical generations.
