Rapping has never had more of a purpose for this young Nigerian
– who establishes a connection with his audience by
providing carefully crafted, thoughtful and conscious lyrics.
With a smooth delivery, he communicates with his chilled and
laid back flow. A keen and conscious storyteller with an insightful
perspective on life in the 3rd World, Baba shows a sharp sense
of lyrical purpose. Above all, he is real and doesn’t
try
to fit into a stereotype.
Packing all the bars with raw emotion,
he attacks the beat, changing his rhyme or rhythm pattern
every now and again, keeping you guessing about what’s
coming next. However, even though he spits about urban realities
sprinkled with intellectual depth, he really isn’t all
about kicking knowledge and highlighting the world’s
problems. He is also that light hearted funny guy with clever
and confident punch lines.
Baba generated a buzz via freestlyes and mixtapes and got
instant appeal because of his tendency to be real with his
situations and feelings. “It’s not what you say,
but how you say it” – and Baba has that uncanny
ability to be articulate…breaking it down to his listeners.
You don’t have to be in his shoes to get the picture
– all you need to do is listen to what he says.
With his first full length solo debut, Baba stays true to
his underground faithfuls by stepping up his rhymes and lyrical
content.
Working with upcoming producers like Seun Anikulapo Kuti and Chike Ajufo,
Baba has raised the bar of African Hip Hop with a powerful delivery of himself,
his music and his vision. This superb compilation is predicted
to take the world by storm. Down 4 Whateva proudly presents
its first major recording artist, Baba.
