Fast rising Nigerian singer and song writer BigerTinz releases “Lekki Epe” EP, featuring Oritse Femi, Tusure, Jay Teazer & Shocker.
The music that inspired BigerTinz growing up was a roving ode to the music that germinated from across the breadth of the black diaspora, a mash of righteous rap, furious reggae, and soul fused with more indigenous music styles like Fuji and Apala music. In the years since then, this hybrid sound has come to be known as afrobeats, permeating every side of the globe and acquiring newer influences, but the soul of the old sound still relies on the alchemic blend of diasporic sounds with the music of the homeland. In BigerTinz’s hand, both sounds are in constant communication with each other, intersecting at high velocity to create music inspired by those olden sounds but retooled for a modern generation.
On his earlier songs like “Wonder” and “1960,” the singer crafted boisterous anthems that gave a view of his talent. A more rounded view of his abilities is gleanable on his forthcoming project titled Lekki - Epe
