LOWKEY” has everything Afro Pop music needs; Somber synths, crime-fueled lyrics, giant TR-808 kicks, subdued-stoner vocals and ad-libs. But it’s the coldblooded directness of Killervybez lyrics that give it the authenticity a lot of hip-hop songs in Nigeria lack. Though he raps in English, he uses Yoruba phrases to properly situate “LOWKEY” in the streets of Nigeria striding between local culture and commercialized hip-hop. And he does all of these without biting flows or lyrics. Olamide might have the local aesthetic on lock with singles like “Science Student” making rounds on the street, but his biggest criticism has always been his inability to keep up with the hip-hop scene where he originally found fame. “Letter To Milli” tanked with one too many English lines for local fans and unimpressive lyrics for the more hip-hop driven listeners. Killervybez’s “Lowkey” is however proof that a sweet spot where both audiences meet isn’t such a lofty dream.
