NEW MUSIC: LAGOSIANS - SLIM T



Trip City Entertainment’s Slim T pays homage to his hometown, Lagos aka Las Gidi as he unveils his brand new single titled “Lagosians”. After the huge success of his two previous singles, the huge posse cut “Die Representing” and the excellent Christmas single, “Merry Christmas”, Slim T returns - on his quest to conquer 2012 - with the hugely massive TinTin-produced “Lagosians”. Giving us his own unique blend of Rap and Afro-Pop, “Lagosian” sees Slim T in excellent fashion as he shows love, respect and appreciation to the city that birthed and raised the young Nigerian rapper.


With a wonderfully catchy chorus which describes the quintessential Lagosian as well as smart and witty rap verses that tell an increasingly compelling story of the true heart, grit, hustle and bustle of the Lagos city lifestyle over this lively and sublime musical backdrop backed by lush drum patterns and electrifying guitar solos courtesy of burgeoning producer TinTin, Slim T does more than just shine, he puts in a serious claim to be counted as one to watch in Africa’s new music landscape.
