Nigerian recording artist SAMAD releases “Lagos,” his solo effort that keeps the spotlight on the Ibadan-born talent.
The song is another step in SAMAD’s slow transition from the rap freestyles that began his music career into a more extended series of fully realized releases. It’s all part of the artist continuing to build on his repertoire following his initial breakout material.
It’s 2:15, and the song keeps things tight, rather than expanding into a drawn out arrangement. That brevity provides the song a direct structure well suited to repeat listening, while keeping the performance at the center.
Previous recordings such as “Lameda,” “Tomorrow” and “Hildabaci” have helped him build a strong audience for his music. The strength of that collection provides a good basis for the upcoming release as more listeners continue to discover his work.
The song is accessible on all major digital streaming services. Listen to it and tell us what you think in the comments below.
