Jul 11, 2025, 11:35 AM

Recording artiste Skepper has a hit in the making, with the recent release of the Afrobeat masterpiece “Jungle” featuring another Gambian performer -Hussain Dada.

Produced by Essential Musik, the song is about love, reflecting the emotions of being deeply in love - the thrill, the risks, the mystery, and the depth - as described by the artiste. The track was officially released on May 13, 2025.

“This song was inspired by the wild, unpredictable, and passionate journey of love. Just like a jungle, love can be confusing, intense, beautiful, and even dangerous. I wanted to capture that feeling of getting lost in someone, the way you can lose yourself in love, the same way you could in a jungle, both scary and magical,” the singer highlighted about the song’s meaning.

The smooth lyrics flow over an easy going beat, showcasing Gambian elements, with Hussain Dada performing his verse in the Mandinka language. Since its release, the track has been getting rave reviews, attracting positive reactions on the official music video and airplay across the world.

“My goal is for this song to be big enough to make it to the international music market. The response has been overwhelming so far, just positive vibes all around and I’m looking forward to seeing how far this song will go,” the artiste expressed.

Walking the music path since 2016, starting as a freestyle artiste, Skepper released his first studio single, all while at school.

Things changed in 2024 just before graduation when another anthem titled - "Distance" was released by Essential Musik. With other projects in tow, Skepper promises more relatable content for his expanding fanbase.

“I am planning to release a few new singles and I’m also scheduled to be on a show,” the artiste revealed.

“Jungle” is available for purchase and streaming on major digital platforms online.
