Rising Lagos-based rapper Ladipoe serves up a smooth mid-tempo single, "Afro Jigga," which sees him embodying the spirit of Jay-Z in some ways. The record has a hypnotic texture and a steady bouncy groove that allows Ladipoe to be playful and thoughtful with his rhymes. Lines like " Our music now is opening doors, you can never close/ They tell me that Afro is bigger than hair on an older Hov" see him reflecting on the growth of Afrobeats on the global level, while at other times, he gets to just be carefree and have fun. He also has a knack for changing the pace at a moment's notice and drops a few gems along the way to remind listeners that he is not rhyming for the sake of riddling. Joining him on the track is label mate Rema who adds his dancehall infused afro-melodies into the mix
"Afro Jigga" is the new single from Ladipoe taken from his forthcoming Providence EP. Other features on the EP include Amaarae and Fireboy DML.
