"BOLO" by PENOMECO, featuring Squid Games' very own YDG, is a cross-cultural Afrobeats-inspired track that draws directly from West African music traditions. The title “Bolo” is Yoruba slang meaning “fool,” and the song notably samples “Ginger” by Wizkid and Burna Boy. Though PENOMECO is a Korean artist, this track represents a unique moment of genre fusion - blending Korean, Yoruba, Igbo, English, Pidgin, hip-hop and afro-beats to create something globally resonant.
