Clocking in at approximately 3 minutes and 10 seconds, “Playboy” is already available for free mp3 download and streaming across platforms like YouTube Music, continuing Wale’s tradition of making his music widely accessible.
The song was performed and written by Shatta Wale himself. The production is handled by Shatta Music, which is part of the in-house team under his brand. While well-known producers like WillisBeatz are not specifically credited on this track, it aligns with Wale’s recent trend of collaborating with his internal production unit.
