The track Bayelsa from Timaya’s debut album True Story (2007) is a heartfelt tribute to his roots.

In this song, Timaya proudly celebrates his home state, Bayelsa, weaving themes of identity, resilience, and cultural pride into his delivery. It reflects his deep connection to his people and the struggles they’ve endured, while also highlighting the beauty and strength of the Niger Delta region.

Produced by K‑Solo, the track blends Dancehall, Afrobeats, and Highlife, giving it a rhythmic bounce that makes it both celebratory and reflective.

Bayelsa isn’t just a track — it’s a cultural statement, a reminder of Timaya’s origins, and a testament to the pride he carries for his homeland.
