Watch TOBi Perform 'Beige' on A COLORS SHOW
The Nigerian-Canadian artist performs his new laid-back single at the Colors Studios.
Nigerian-Canadian artist TOBi, born Oluwatobi Ajibolade, is a young and talented rap/soul musician on the rise. In May of this year, he released his debut album entitled STILL, a 13-track project which is an exploration of both joy and pain within male vulnerability. The debut album followed his 7-track mixtape FYi, which he released three years prior. Most recently, the artist released a single entitled "Beige" which he performed on A COLORS SHOW.
Listen to STILL on Apple Music or Spotify.
Describing his debut album in a social media post a few moths ago, TOBi said that:
"This album was years in the making with several iterations throughout. STILL being true to my life story, it was best for it to be split into 3 chapters of learning and unlearning; Searching, Conflict, and Salvation. With it finally completed and seeing the light of day, I have so many people to thank on this. It feels pretty surreal thinking about the collection of humans that have contributed to this beautiful body of work."
Just yesterday, the artist released "Beige", a track where he shows off his soulful vocals on a classic hip hop beat. Clad in a bright outfit complete with African wax-print trousers, his performance is laid-back but confident—definitely essential viewing.
