Emerging Nigerian act Cookie thekid is out with his latest single, “Party Don Start,” a lively new release out now via Oluwe Records.
Recorded in Lagos and produced, mixed, and mastered by OYB, the track is built for movement. From its bass-heavy production to its high-energy feel, “Party Don Start” captures the excitement of being out, letting loose and fully embracing the moment.
The new single follows Cookie thekid’s introduction with “Trouble” in 2025 and his subsequent release “Billion Boy.” With each release, the young act has continued to develop his sound while gradually establishing an identity that feels distinctly his own.
There was already plenty of interest around “Party Don Start” before its official release, with more than 800 TikTok videos created using the sound. That early response points to the track’s natural ability to connect with listeners, particularly those looking for something energetic and easy to move to.
Cookie thekid describes the record as “an energy-raving song,” a description that fits its purpose. Speaking about what inspired the track, he explains that he enjoys getting turnt at parties and sees himself as someone who naturally brings that energy into the room. That personality sits at the centre of the song.
Musically, Cookie thekid draws from a diverse range of influences, including Gunna, Playboi Carti, Burna Boy, Rema and Don Toliver. Those influences can be felt in the way “Party Don Start” brings together Afrobeats rhythms, trap-inspired attitude, and the kind of explosive energy associated with club records.
OYB plays an equally important role in the release, handling the production from the beat through mixing and mastering. The collaboration gives the song a polished finish without taking away from its raw, energetic character, making it suitable for both personal listening and live environments.
Cookie thekid is also beginning to make his presence felt on stage. His performance at Chunesday has added to his growing reputation as an energetic performer, giving audiences an early look at what he brings beyond the recordings.
With “Party Don Start,” Cookie thekid continues to build patiently while expanding his catalogue and sharpening his artistic identity. Rather than rushing the process, the emerging act is taking his time to establish a sound, connect with listeners, and find his place within Nigeria’s new generation of music talent.
For now, “Party Don Start” does exactly what its title promises: it brings the energy and invites listeners to leave their worries at the door and enjoy the moment.
