A Song About “Say Less, Do More”
Blending playful Afrofusion with afrobeat rhythms, Talk Is Cheap calls out all talk, no action. It’s confident, catchy, and doesn’t try too hard.

The track came out of a wildcard studio session in LA, with Bam Marley adding a super easy, charismatic verse.
At just 17, Imani-J is already carving out her own lane in Afrofusion and R&B. If you’re into artists like Tyla, this one’s on repeat.
