Africa Month is all about celebrating culture, creativity, and unapologetic African excellence — and Danielle Swagger understood the assignment. The rising trap-soul star is back with “NTL (Nothing To Lose),” a bold new single that’s as fierce as it is fearless.
After pouring her heart out in “Lost Ones” earlier this year, Swagger switches gears with “NTL” — a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred anthem about knowing your worth, staying resilient, and going all in when you’ve got nothing to lose. Think gritty beats, slick bars, and a hook that hits straight in the chest.
Produced by Nasty Kanier (yes, from Réunion Island 👀), the track blends trap, soul, and Swagger’s signature vibe to create something real, raw, and ready to take over playlists across the continent.
Spitting in English, Swagger brings her genre-blending A-game — weaving in verses that hit with purpose and a chorus that lifts like a prayer. It’s more than just a banger — it’s a message to the youth: be bold, be true, and take up space.
“I’m showing up as myself. No filters. NTL is about letting go of fear and going full throttle,” says Swagger.
Shot across the beautiful island of Réunion by Ben Art Studio and Christophe Durand, the NTL music video is a visual love letter to African storytelling. From the vibey café Dreams Donuts in Saint-Pierre to the historic Le Vieux Domainein Mahavel, the visuals are a mix of soul, scenery, and style. Total Africa Month energy.
Distributed by Virgin Music Group, NTL marks a new chapter for Danielle Swagger — one where culture meets confidence, and the new wave of African music has a name and a sound.
If you’re about authenticity, bars with purpose, and music that makes you feel something — NTL is for you.
