A month since its release, Boss by SMS Officiel has made a powerful entry into the AfroCongo scene. The track, which hit all major streaming platforms, has quickly gained traction, marking a proud moment for both the artist and the genre.
Hailing from Congo, SMS Officiel delivers a confident, high-energy performance that lives up to the title. Boss is rich with percussive rhythms, deep basslines, and vibrant melodies that echo the roots of AfroCongo while embracing a modern twist. His vocal delivery is both smooth and commanding, oozing charisma and streetwise swagger.
The song’s lyrics go like:
Nao magasiner mbongo nanga ,
Po lobi nazala Mutu ya class na société
Y’a yo o impressionné ba ndumba,po ba mona que oza prêtre
Oko benga nga boss (boss)
Oko benga nga boss(boss)
Oko benga nga boss,lobi
Oko benga nga boss
Oko benga nga boss
Zala sérieux, si tu veux devenir riche dans la vie,,,
Il faut garder l’argent
Makuta,mbongo elingaka makelele te
Makuta,mbongo elingaka ba Yuma te
Makuta,mbongo elingaka batu ya idéologie na morale,,,
Bujinga kidogo makuta itaenda una Baki maboko pamba
Bujinga kidogo makuta itaenda unabaki maboko pamba,,,
Unajua que uki voyager ba jaloux ba na kosaka ka nguvu
Pata ka makuta kidogo panda vol ba jaloux bavimbe moyo
Bata bakiya mu quartier Bata vimba kichwa
Bata semanganya saana Bata anguka mumayi
Bo Bâle mbona bako pale haba ya pataka
Bo Bâle mbona ni Bâle Bâle mpaka vile

Adding to the song’s appeal is the official visualizer, dropped on YouTube alongside the release. Minimal yet stylish, the visualizer gives fans a glimpse of SMS Officiel’s aesthetic and attitude, enhancing the track’s replay value.
AfroCongo, a genre known for its fusion of Congolese rhythms with Afrobeat elements, is clearly thriving, and Boss stands as a testament to its growing global presence. SMS Officiel isn’t just making music—he’s making a statement.
