Bees & Honey has brought together an interesting mix of African, Caribbean, and American sounds with its latest single, “As We Get High,” featuring Nigerian singer Omah Lay, Jamaican-American artist BEAM, and reggae-dancehall veteran Gyptian.
The collaboration blends different musical worlds into one laid-back record, connecting the sounds of Lagos, Kingston, and Miami while maintaining a smooth Afro-fusion identity.
Built around slow, atmospheric production, As We Get High combines elements of Afro-R&B, dancehall, and contemporary hip-hop.
The beat leans heavily on deep bass and spacious instrumentation, creating the kind of late-night mood that works just as well for a chilled beach hangout as it does for a low-lit club setting.

Omah Lay takes the opening spotlight, bringing his familiar emotional delivery and airy vocals to the record. His performance gives the song a reflective edge, setting the mood before BEAM switches things up with a more rhythmic blend of hip-hop and dancehall.
Gyptian then adds his unmistakable reggae presence, giving the track a touch of nostalgia while complementing the younger artists. Despite their different musical backgrounds, the three artists fit surprisingly well into the production, making the collaboration feel seamless rather than forced.
At its core, As We Get High is built around romance, escape and finding moments of peace away from the pressures of everyday life. The song captures that carefree feeling of simply enjoying someone’s company and letting the world fade into the background.
With its cross-cultural lineup and warm, atmospheric sound, As We Get High arrives as a smooth meeting point between Afrobeats, R&B and Caribbean music, offering listeners a fresh soundtrack for the season.
