Exquisitely talented Nigerian musician and recording artist comes through with this massive banger named Kick
The title says everything in one syllable. No metaphor. No philosophical framing. Just energy. And that directness is exactly what “Kick” delivers from the first second to the last. Within an album that balances vulnerability, cinematic ambition, and personal confession across 22 tracks, a record this stripped and aggressive serves a specific purpose. It reminds you who Future was before any of the deeper conversations started.
“Kick” sits between “Trench Coat” and “Konnichiwa” in the album’s front half. A stretch of records that keep the temperature cold and the energy locked in street territory. Where “Trench Coat” operates with compressed menace and “Konnichiwa” opens the sonic space slightly. “Kick” sits between them as the most direct of the three. No atmospheric detours. No melodic softening. Just Future and a beat that hits exactly the way the title promises.
Critics covering The Real Me have noted how the album’s front half functions almost as a separate listening experience from the more emotionally open second half. Records like “Kick” are central to that dynamic. They establish the exterior persona firmly enough that when Future finally pulls the curtain back on “If I Could” and “Big Moment,” the contrast carries real weight.
This track is an absolute must for every music lover who appreciates good music.
