Hell N Back

Born Abubakar Baker Shariff-Farr, Bakar grew up in North London's Camden and has roots in Yemen and Tanzania. He dropped his first solo mixtape, Badkid, in May 2018, then in September 2019, Bakar came through with the EP Will You Be My Yellow? with "Hell N Back" the lead single.

In this jam, Bakar takes us on a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about all the good times he's had with his lover, especially when they first met. But let's be real, Bakar had to grind and hustle his way through some tough times before finding his soulmate. He was struggling, turning to substances to cope, and felt hella lonely. With his girl by his side, he's finally been able to find happiness and feel complete. Dude had to go through hell and back, but now he's found peace.

Bakar makes a direct reference to the EP title in the first verse: Would you be my light, be my yellow? P.Y.T. walking down Portobello Put a smile on this face at the end of the day Bakar's love interest has unique qualities that other girls he was with in the past didn't.
