    BUDDING Nigerian rap artiste, Dolapo Oyatomi, aka Doxy, has announced a change in style from the regular hip-hop genre to the more urbane fusion of Afro-pop and Hip-hip. Explaining the rationale behind the switch, the artiste, who is known for his freestyle skills, said that it comes with the need to satisfy his ever-growing fan base.

    “There were times I had walked up to managers of Record Labels and after they heard me do my thing, though they loved it, they also advised me to infuse some Nigerian flavour into it. I sat down when during one of my recording sessions and, even though I’m not used to writing lyrics down, I had to force myself to get a pen to write in Yoruba language. Thankfully, it was successful. That was like a very happy moment when I did that, especially being a Yoruba boy. That is the reason for my change my new singles,” he said.

    To introduce his new style to his fans, the artiste says that he will be releasing the song, Road Block, any time soon. Road Block, according to Doxy, is far removed from his previous efforts, Dessie Teddie and My Business, among others, which were done in English.

    HE might be new to the Nigerian music industry, but budding rapper and freestylist, Dolapo Oyatomi Junior, aka Doxy says that he is ready to run with the big guns. He made this known in his new track titled Baby, in which he takes shots at indigenous rappers, Olamide and Phyno.

    Explaining the rationale behind the move, the young artiste said that Olamide and Phyno, two artistes he respects so much in the rap game “are just too good and I want to rap just like them, but the truth is that Doxy can’t be Olamide or Phyno, just like Olamide can’t be Phyno and Phyno can’t be Olamide,” he said.

    The song, Baby, according to the artiste, is all about everyone minding their business because people are gifted differently. He noted that this is one of the laws in the music industry, just like his previous track, My Business.

    “Only a deep rap artiste can understand the whole words. The chorus, “I love you, hun Baby, I never wanna let you go,” means loving the gift God has given me and I will never let it go due to the love I have for it. God has given me a gift just as He has given Olamide, Phyno and other great artistes. I have to make good use of it.I know I’m different. I would love to work with both artistes. I also look forward to working with the likes of MI, Vector, Ice-Prince, Don Jazzy, D Banj, Banky W, Praiz, Davido, Wizkid, Samklef, Reminisce and other great artistes.
