Memphis hitmaker Nate Walka trades his pen for the mic on “OooYea,” a seductive R&B groove born from real-life passion.

Nate Walka might be one of the most quietly influential names in modern R&B and hip-hop. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, he has penned chart-topping hits like Jamie Foxx’s “Blame It” and Trey Songz’s “Say Ahh” featuring Fabolous. But beyond his work behind the scenes, Nate is a talented solo artist who’s been putting more energy into his own music lately—and the results have been nothing short of impressive. His latest single, “OooYea,” might just be one of his finest releases yet.

The story behind “OooYea” is as personal as it is playful. Nate revealed that he wrote the track in the shower right after sharing a romantic moment with his partner. The song channels that intimate energy, with Nate confidently describing how he’s ready to love her with every ounce of passion—and to pull out moves that rival a professional wrestler’s. It’s cheeky, sensual, and deeply self-assured all at once.

Musically, “OooYea” strikes the perfect balance between smoothness and bounce. The production is silky yet packed with enough low-end punch to keep your head nodding whether you’re in the car, at home, or in more private settings. Nate’s vocals are hypnotic—delivered with a looseness that makes the whole track feel effortlessly seductive.

“OooYea” isn’t just a love song—it’s a baby-making anthem with an addictive quality that makes you want to play it on loop. For fans who only know Nate Walka for his songwriting, this single is a reminder that his artistry extends far beyond the pen. For everyone else, it’s an introduction to a voice and style that’s worth keeping on repeat.
