From the heart of Nigeria’s capital, Tayo is redefining the sound of the 09. Since officially stepping onto the scene in 2020, the Abuja-born artist has become a staple of the city’s burgeoning drill and hip-hop landscape. Known for a style that is as versatile as it is distinct, Tayo bridges the gap between gritty drill energy and melodic rap experimentation.
With a track record of high-octane collaborations alongside Abuja heavyweights like Tomi Obanure, KVV, and Kinfolk, Tayo has proven he can hold his own among the best. Born in 2003, his music reflects the hustle and the hunger of a new generation, proving that while the sound started in the streets, the vision is global.
