The Rise of Afro-Soul Hip-Hop Star


Baka Poro (also known as Na Poro) is a Cameroonian Hip-hop and Afro-soul artist from Ekondo-Titi, currently signed to JONG MUSIC. Known for his “Mboko” rap style, he combines raw energy with a polished, authoritative delivery.

Baka Poro’s track “Over Sabi” is a really interesting look at where modern hip-hop is heading in 2025. When you jump into his project Bloody Raps On A Notepad, this song immediately sticks out because it feels like a mission statement for his specific style. It’s got that raw energy you want from a rap record, but it stays polished enough to keep you nodding your head the whole time.

The first thing that hits you is the production. It’s not trying to do too much with crazy synths or over-the-top sound effects. Instead, it sticks to a solid, steady beat that gives the rappers plenty of room to breathe. This kind of minimalist approach is actually a smart move because it puts the focus right where it belongs: on the flow and the lyrics. Since the instrumental isn’t cluttered, you can hear every word and catch the nuances in the delivery.

Baka Poro himself sounds incredibly comfortable here. He has this way of sounding relaxed and intense at the same time. His voice has a natural authority to it, so he doesn’t have to shout to get your attention. He moves between smooth lines and high energy moments effortlessly, which keeps the three minute runtime feeling fresh. It feels like he’s really leaning into that Over Sabi persona, which in this context feels like a badge of confidence for someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.

The collaboration on the track is another high point. Rather than just having random verses thrown in, the featured artists actually add to the vibe. They bring different vocal textures that prevent the song from getting repetitive. It shows that Poro knows how to lead a team while still keeping his own personality front and center. While some listeners might want more complex metaphors, the straightforward nature of the song is exactly why it works. It’s a catchy, confident anthem that proves Baka Poro is a name to watch.
