A recent X post has sparked excitement among Nigerian music fans, spotlighting a vibrant remake of the 2009 hit "Anytime" by the legendary 9ice.

This reimagined version, crafted by renowned producer ID Cabasa, brings together a talented lineup of contemporary artists—Bella Shmurda, Ayo Maff, and the dynamic duo Ajebo Hustlers.

The collaboration fuses the nostalgic essence of the original track with modern Afrobeats and highlife influences, creating a sound that resonates with both longtime fans of 9ice and a new generation of listeners.

The post, shared on May 9, 2025, includes a striking visual of the artists, with bold text announcing "Anytime Reimagined," and a link to the track, inviting fans to experience this fresh take on a beloved classic.

ID Cabasa has earned a reputation as a master of reimagining Nigerian classics, breathing new life into iconic songs while preserving their cultural significance.

This project follows his successful 2024 remake of Styl-Plus’ "Olufunmi," where he collaborated with artists like Fireboy DML to blend vintage vibes with contemporary flair.

The trend of sampling and reworking older hits has become increasingly popular in the Afrobeats scene, serving as a bridge between Nigeria’s rich musical history and its evolving soundscape.

By reintroducing "Anytime" with a modern twist, ID Cabasa not only pays homage to 9ice’s legacy but also taps into the growing appetite for nostalgic yet innovative music among younger audiences.

Bella Shmurda, one of the featured artists, brings his signature emotional depth and versatility to the track.

Known for breakout hits like "Cash App" in 2020 and his 2022 album Hypertension, which showcased his ability to blend street-inspired lyricism with soulful melodies, Bella Shmurda has become a prominent voice in Afrobeats.

His contribution to "Anytime Reimagined" likely infuses the song with a raw, youthful energy that complements the original’s heartfelt tone.

Ayo Maff and Ajebo Hustlers, both rising stars in their own right, add their unique flavors to the mix—Ayo Maff with his relatable storytelling and Ajebo Hustlers with their infectious Afro-highlife synergy, as seen in their 2023 release "You Go Know."

This collaboration underscores the power of music to transcend generations, blending the old with the new in a way that feels both fresh and familiar.

Fans on X have already begun sharing their reactions, with some praising the emotional resonance of Ayo Maff’s verse and others applauding Bella Shmurda’s captivating delivery.

As Afrobeats continues to dominate the global stage, projects like "Anytime Reimagined" highlight the genre’s ability to honor its roots while pushing creative boundaries, ensuring its relevance for years to come.
