The collaboration brings together two musical powerhouses from opposite sides of the Atlantic, celebrating deep connections between Africa and the Caribbean. The song is an exploration of the universal themes of identity, resilience, and empowerment.

In an interview with ZimSphere, Nutty O described Substance as "an anthem for the ages, a declaration of self-worth with a stark reminder of a shared history of kings and queens." He emphasised the blend of Trinidad's rhythms with Zimbabwe's enchanting Afro-dancehall beats, creating a fresh, unique sound that resonates well with human triumph.

Triniboi Joocie shared his enthusiasm, stating, "This song came about so organically. I linked up with Nutty O in London earlier this year, and what started as a session turned into a meeting of minds. Substance reflects our shared journey as individuals."

Nutty O added, "We wanted to create something that speaks to everyone, no matter where you’re from. Our struggles and triumphs are universal, and Substance is a celebration of that shared strength within all of us."

Described as a cross-cultural masterpiece by the two artistes, Substance honours the undying historical ties between Africa and the Caribbean, pushing the boundaries of this unique collaboration.

Triniboi Joocie and Nutty O have crafted not just a song, but a movement—a rallying cry for everyone to remember their intrinsic value and stand tall in their purpose.

Triniboi Joocie, known for his high-energy performances and infectious Caribbean sound, has garnered international acclaim for bringing traditional soca rhythms to the global stage.

Nutty O, one of Zimbabwe’s most innovative Afro-dancehall artists, is celebrated for his fusion of African beats with contemporary dancehall, establishing himself as a leading voice in Zimbabwean music with a dynamic global fanbase.
