Always eager for unexpected collaborations, Alkpote delivers a major statement with this second episode of “Les Ultimes Marches de l’Empereur.” The track is a full-on display of power: a sharp, high-octane trap production shaped by Quavo’s influence and elevated by l’Empereur’s bold, insolent, and meticulously crafted punchlines.
Alkpote and Quavo: an international alliance for “Big Flex”!
The instrumental was produced by American beatmaker CP DUBB—a seasoned sound architect responsible for hits like “Unforgettable” by French Montana, “Day One” by Chris Brown, and “Make It Nasty” by Tyga. On “Big Flex”, he delivers an explosive, rhythm-driven beat infused with the unmistakable energy of the Migos sound. Together, Alkpote and Quavo create a commanding, infectious banger built for both the clubs and the streets.
Audacious, raw, and always theatrical, Alkpote stays true to his legendary reputation:
“I send my kids inside your guts (Splash)
Creating new jewels, rolling with my loyal subjects (Skrr, Skrr)”
And he keeps the same provocative tone:
“I’ll tear you apart like Goro, even if you’re on hormone therapy, man”
The video, shot in the United States, was directed by Francesco Bonato. Known for his cinematic touch, the American filmmaker delivers a visual that perfectly matches the song’s energy—dark, lavish, and spectacular. Highly prolific, Bonato has worked with artists such as Moïse Kean, Gheba, Macca, and Baby Kirua. With “Big Flex”, he signs an ambitious, high-end visual somewhere between a trap anthem and a Hollywood short film.
