bees – As We Get High Ft. honey, Omah Lay, BEAM & Gyptian

There is a carefree quality to “As We Get High”, the collaborative release credited to bees and featuring honey, Omah Lay, BEAM, and Gyptian. Rather than presenting itself as a straightforward solo record, the song draws its character from the combination of several distinct performers. Omah Lay brings his familiar soulful presence, while Gyptian contributes the laid-back vocal flavor associated with his style. BEAM and honey add further personality to the lineup, helping the record feel like a shared musical experience. The title points toward an unrestrained atmosphere, giving the collaboration a relaxed and hazy identity.

What makes the track interesting is the contrast between the different voices placed within the same musical space. Omah Lay can move naturally between vulnerability and melody, while Gyptian’s presence introduces a reggae and dancehall influence that broadens the song’s character. BEAM adds another contemporary touch, creating more variation as the performers take their respective moments. Instead of depending on one dominant sound, “As We Get High” gains much of its appeal from this mixture of styles. The production leaves enough room for the vocals to interact, resulting in a record that feels suited to late-night listening, relaxed gatherings, and moments when the mood calls for something smooth.

“As We Get High” ultimately works as a genre-crossing collaboration where Afrobeat sensibilities, melodic songwriting, reggae influence, and modern production meet. Bees uses the gathering of honey, Omah Lay, BEAM, and Gyptian to create a record with several musical personalities rather than following a single formula. Each contribution adds a different shade to the overall sound, keeping the listening experience varied while preserving its laid-back atmosphere. The song can appeal to audiences who enjoy collaborations that move between African and Caribbean-inspired sounds, with enough melody and rhythm to make the record memorable without losing its relaxed character.
