Got some new musical candy for you on this lovely Monday morning – it’s DRBLasGidi, an up and coming hiphop group out of Naij, by way of the UK. Click for two reasons why you should download and press play on DRBLasGidi.
“Yes! Music that doesn’t sound like more of the same!” – is exactly how I reacted to hearing DRB LasGidi’s new track, 3Kings. The group, which includes Fresh L (Ladi Ladinegan), TeeZee (Teni Zaccheaus) and Boj (Bolaji Odojukan), are in a category of their own with their fresh approach to afro hip Here are two reasons why you should add them to your playlist and keep watch as they take off in the music game.
- Reason Number One: DRBLasGidi successfully mix contemporary hip hop, r&b AND afrobeats without losing their “naijaness.” They balance Western and African influences really well. Their sound is authentic, like “we make music we actually like to listen to” …which is important when so much of music these days talks about and sounds like stuff we’re not even sure the artists themselves can relate to. These DRB Lasgidi dudes just sound fun. And they seem like they have cool personalities. Very dope and what not.
- Reason Number Two: Because I said so 😉 Don’t worry, you’ll thank me later.
