SLICK is a single from Victony, released July 8, 2026 under OUTLAWVILLE, under exclusive global licence to Encore Recordings. Running 1 minute 46 seconds and classified as Afrobeats on Apple Music, it is produced by Ozedikus and Dera The Boy — the same Ozedikus behind FRE$H, CKay's FALL IN LUV and a string of major productions in the 2024-2026 cycle. The track was first previewed on June 24, 2026, generating immediate anticipation before the official release two weeks later. By its release date it had already entered Shazam's tracking with 116,000 Shazams, and immediately took the top position in Victony's Apple Music top songs, leapfrogging FRE$H. The title suits the mood perfectly — NaijaVibes described his delivery as moving between melodic hooks and rapid-fire verses "with witty wordplay, subtle braggadocio, and moments of vulnerability," with Dera The Boy's production blending electronic and organic elements over Afropop rhythms that support rather than overwhelm the vocal performance.

Victony – FRE$HSLICK arrives during one of the most consistent runs of Victony's career. Since his Soweto debut in 2022 — which became the most Shazamed song in the world in its peak week — he has released the Outlaw EP, Stubborn album, the Very Stubborn EP, and a continuous stream of standalone singles while appearing on major collaborations including golibe with FOLA, Come Slide with Qing Madi and BNXN, and Bother Me with Osé. NaijaTempo's review noted his laid-back approach on SLICK — "allowing his vocals to glide smoothly across the instrumental" rather than pushing for heavy energy or fast-paced delivery — resulting in what the review called "a warm and easy listening feel from start to finish." At under two minutes, SLICK wastes nothing and says exactly what it needs to say.
Rating: 8/10.
