A Rap EP rooted In contemporary Nigerian musical culture

Review of Nigerian Cyprus-based rapper Masscut new EP release "P.I.N". In an attempt to summarize "P.I.N" in a nutshell, it will be right to tag it as a rap EP rooted in contemporary Nigerian musical culture, and branches out into every facet of the artist’s current environment.

A most relevant release

Switzerland is not known to be a Hip-Hop hotspot, but if The Disciple's new release "Accident of Birth" holds any baring, it might well be on its way to become one. AOB is an album that demands attention for its music production and more over for its lyrical content and delivery.. 

Skilled penmanship

‘Drowning in my Feelings’ boasts skilled penmanship. And it being the case that with music of this genre, the pen(craft) is one of the mightier tools, we can easily say that on the strength of its pen-craft alone, ‘Drowning in my Feelings’ sits comfortably above the average score.

Looking back

"Look Forward" was released in 2017, and only recently caught our attention. The EP features 7 very strong tracks, both in terms of lyrics as musically, with an intricate mix of HipHop, Jazz and RnB/Soul.

Evolving Into The Mainstream

Ugoccie releases 'Man on Fire', a song off her EP, 'A Piece of Me'. Ugoccie’s ‘Man on Fire’ comes as something fresh and refreshing – completely out of the box. Most striking is the realisation that the song kicks off with the narration of a story – storytelling being a vital quality of a traditional entertainer. This attribute of the song makes listening to ‘Man on Fire’ a serious business.

On the fairness of femininity

Just as a painter uses pigments as his medium to capture a worldly essence, KSsense employs the celebration of a woman’s body in capturing aspects of our tangible and intangible world. KSsense divides the themes of this album. With sexuality and boy positivity, the significance of the individual is catered to. With colorism, racism, and identity, social issues, the collective is addressed.
