Genre-bending Afro-electronic duo Team Salut return in full technicolour with “I’m Busy,” a sun-soaked, rhythm-forward anthem built for those moments when the world can wait and the music can’t. Kojo P (Glen Patnelli) and Aponchi Da Goat (Gabriel Wood) once again flex their genre-fusing prowess, blending Afrobeats, Latin grooves, dancehall accents, and forward-thinking club production into a track that’s as irresistible as it is freeing.
Born from an off-the-cuff freestyle during a studio session interrupted by constant distractions, the hook — “I’m Busy” — hit instantly, and the rest followed in pure Team Salut fashion: vibrant, bold, and unapologetically global. Bass-driven bounce meets playful bashment vocal chops, while the percussive backbone demands movement, whether you’re in the club, at the beach, or just shutting the door on the day to dance in your kitchen.
“‘I’m Busy’ is about going on do-not-disturb mode,” the duo explain. “Making space for life, love, fun, family, or just vibing with your own creativity.” That message of joyful boundary-setting translates perfectly into the track’s energy, personal yet universal, intimate yet festival-ready.
True to their cinematic approach, Team Salut are rolling out three videos to accompany the release: a lyric video, a playful office-set dance performance filmed in the Philippines, and an official video shot in Málaga, Spain, bringing their sunny, borderless aesthetic vividly to life.
From their breakout smash “Drogba (Joanna)” with Afro B to high-profile collaborations with Eugy, Mr Eazi, and Yxng Bane, and even soundtracking a global Apple iPhone campaign, Team Salut have consistently pushed Afro-dance music into new spaces. “I’m Busy” continues that trajectory, not just as a banger, but as a statement of intent: no matter where you are, there’s always time to turn up the volume and live on your own terms.
