DJ Obi straps on timeless heat with "Patek"

DJ Obi is at his frontman stage now, and "Patek" is the substantial, ballsy word we never knew we needed. The international tastemaker who's turned dancefloors into splendors and parties into gestures pairs with Nigerian hitmaker the legendary TIMAYA for a standout, sprawling, and seasonally scorching jam just in time for the warm months.

"Patek" slides in with a flash of swagger and sultry, smooth, rhythmically heavy but danceable, a demanding cocktail perfectly mixed by genre-defying producer Chillz. This is a track feel, like a warm breeze with bass. Obi leans into Afro-juiced grooves and R&B slickness, and TIMAYA's voice is Pure gold. They prepared a track that is as much for the dance floor as for the drive or that sweet rooftop jam where nothing will stop.

"Patek" is nothing but affirmation: "My girl bad, like a Patek. Yeah, she makes a blind man turn around…" Just that line may prompt a couple of rewinds. It celebrates confidence, class, and women who know exactly who they are. In "Mind Her Business, No Time for Hater," Obi isn't just creating a mood but establishing a benchmark.

DJ Obi is emerging as more than a DJ taking records for a spin; he helps shape the culture with his voice. Following the melodically rich "Take Me Away," released earlier this year, "Patek" is the brave next step on a path that is Kafkaesque in its lack of destination, a voyage that's ultimately about identity, legacy, and ownership of the sound he's long championed.

And to mention DJ Obi's history: From hosting stars like Tems and Tyla at Obi's House to globetrotting festival sets and brand collaborations, Obi's presence is larger than life. That 240-hour DJ set he played in 2016? Iconic. Now, with "Patek," he's redefining himself again with a microphone and a message in his music.
