King Promise trades his usual lover-boy softness for something grittier on “Criminal,” another 5 Star standout that reunites him with Mr Eazi. Where “Taste” was smooth seduction, this one’s about desire that feels illegal. Over a moody, mid-tempo beat laced with log drums and brooding synths, Promise admits this woman has him acting out of character. The production, again handled by Killbeatz, keeps things dark and hypnotic. It’s Afrobeats meets late-night confession, built for close dancing and bad decisions.
The record thrives on its push-and-pull. King Promise sounds genuinely tormented, confessing that the way she moves should be a crime because it has him risking it all. Mr Eazi enters like the calm accomplice, his verse dripping with that nonchalant Banku Music cool. He’s not panicking about the consequences — he’s leaning into them. The back-and-forth gives the track its replay value. You get Promise’s melodic desperation balanced by Eazi’s effortless swagger, and together they make being “wrong” sound irresistible.
“Criminal” dropped with the 5 Star album on July 21, 2023, and quickly became one of the project’s most talked-about collabs. It shows King Promise’s range beyond the wedding-song ballads he’s known for, proving he can do danger and desire just as convincingly as romance. With Mr Eazi riding shotgun, it’s also another seamless Ghana-to-Nigeria bridge. If “Taste” was the confession, “Criminal” is what happens after you give in.
