Redveil is stepping into a whole new glow with his album “sankofa“, landing December 4, 2025, and the lead single “brown sugar” with Smino is that sweet, laid-back vibe you didn’t know you needed—like warm sunlight hitting your face on a chill Saturday morning.
This track is pure ear candy. Redveil laces a buttery, lo-fi beat with soft keys and a bassline that bounces just enough to make your head nod without trying too hard. It’s soulful hip-hop with a touch of neo-soul sparkle, the kind of sound that feels like flipping through old family photos while the incense burns. Lyrically, it’s all playful celebration: Redveil and Smino trade flirty bars about a Brown Sugar love that’s addictive, timeless, and a little mischievous. From cinnamon-on-Apple-Jacks wordplay to Smino’s smooth flex about jumping out penthouse windows for the right one, every line lands with a grin. Yamê isn’t on this one, but the chemistry here is just as effortless—two generations of thoughtful rappers vibing like they’ve known each other forever.
sankofa is Redveil’s most personal project yet, built around the Ghanaian idea of going back to fetch what you forgot: roots, growth, Black joy, and the journey from teenage prodigy to young man with something to say. At just 21, he’s already dropped classics like learn 2 swim, but this feels like the grown-up chapter. The 12-track album leans into warmer production, live instrumentation, and guests who feel like family—Smino sets the tone early, with more intimate features promised across the board. Early tracklist teases songs about heritage, heartbreak, and quiet wins, all wrapped in that signature Redveil introspection.
Coming off a year of packed shows and co-signs from Kendrick to Cole, Redveil isn’t rushing to prove anything anymore. He’s just making music that feels good to live in, and “brown sugar” is the perfect invitation. It’s lighthearted but deep, fun but thoughtful—exactly where he’s at right now.
Dive into the brown sugar lyrics below and unpack its raw narrative. Don’t miss the rest of sankofa for more of Redveil’s soulful, coming-of-age magic.
Lyrics of brown sugar by redveil
[Intro]
Bubbling Brown Sugar
Bubbling Brown Sugar
Bubbling Brown Sugar
Yeah (Hey)
Bubbling Brown Sugar
Where You At? Where You At?
I Ain’t Gon’ Go Looking
Call Me Back, Call Me Back (’cause)
Just A Little Taste, Babe
Is All I Need
All I Need, All I Need, All I Need [Verse 1: Redveil]
You Brown Sugar, You My Favorite, Nothin’ Come After That
I’m More Cinnamon Than That Jamaican On The Apple Jacks (Uh)
You Get The Sentiment, We Fit Like Mathematics (Uh)
Know You Glad You Took A Chance On Me Like Some Acid Rap
Back-to-back, I Found You In Every Single Lifetime
You Lockin’ My Heart Up, But You Don’t Fight Crime
Girl, That’s That, “Love Is A Prison Pipeline”
Sike, Nah, I’m Lying, Bitch [Chorus: Redveil & Smino]
Yeah (Hey)
Bubbling Brown Sugar
Where You At? Where You At?
I Ain’t Gon’ Go Looking
Call Me Back, Call Me Back
Our Loveboat, It Won’t
Never Wreck, Never Wreck
Parlay My Heart Up
It’s A Bet, It’s A Bet (Oh) [Post-Chorus: Redveil & Smino]
Just A Little Taste, Babe
Is All I Need
All I Need, All I Need, All I Need (Oh)
Just A Little Taste, Babe
Is All I Need
All I Need, All I Need, All I Need [Verse 2: Smino & Redveil]
Funny What Come From Being Imperial (Oh)
The Honeys Keep Bumblin’ Around Me, I’m Feelin’ Cheerio (Oh)
The Money Not Fumbling, Derrick Henry, Here We Go
Shit Was Not Like This Just A Few Years Ago
You Are Now Witnessing Wit With A Side Of Spiritual
I Been The Goat, The Hearts On My Garments Is Painted Indigo
Shawty Want A Part Of Me, All I See Is A Window Go
And Jump Up Out That Bitch, It Don’t Matter If We On Penthouse Floor
Gotta Be Focused, My Folks Is The Ones I Did This For
The Moment Gettin’ More Meant To Me Than Appearance
Was The Same Moment That I Learned Niggas Be Shopping Clearance
These Louis V’s That I’m Wearin’ Ain’t Threaded Like Me And My Kinfolk, No [Bridge: Smino]
Baby, She Said, “What That Got To Do With Me?” (What That Got To Do With Me?)
I Said, “What I’m ’bout To Do With Ya?” (What I’m ’bout To Do With Ya?)
I Don’t Talk This Much, Usually (Ooh) [Chorus: Redveil & Smino]
Bubbling Brown Sugar
Where You At? Where You At?
I Ain’t Gon’ Go Looking
Call Me Back, Call Me Back
Our Loveboat, It Won’t
Never Wreck, Never Wreck
Parlay My Heart Up
It’s A Bet, It’s A Bet (Oh)
Parlay My Heart Up
It’s A Bet, It’s A Bet (It’s A Bet, It’s A Bet, It’s A)
(Oh) Just A Little Taste, Babe
Is All I Need
All I Need, All I Need, All I Need
(Oh) Just A Little Taste, Babe
Is All I Need
All I Need, All I Need, All I Need
[Outro: Redveil]
Need, Need, Need (Bubbling Brown Sugar)
Need, Need, Need (Bubbling Brown Sugar)
Need, Need, Need (Bubbling)
Need, Need, Need (Just A Little Taste, Babe)
Need, Need, Need (All I Need, Oh)
Need, Need, Need
All I Need, All I Need, All I Need
