Early Beginnings & Musical Journey
Still Topping’s passion for music ignited in 2010, fueled by Lagos’s eclectic soundscape—a city where street parties, gospel choirs, and highlife legends collide. Drawing inspiration from icons like Fela Kuti, 2Baba, and contemporary trailblazers such as Wizkid and Burna Boy, he began crafting his own sound—a fusion of Afrobeat rhythms, hip-hop swagger, and pop sensibilities. His early tracks, released independently, quickly resonated with local audiences, earning him a loyal following in Lagos’s competitive underground scene.

From party anthems like “Like This” to introspective tracks like “Woon Beeni”, his music reflects the duality of life in Lagos: its struggles, triumphs, and unshakable spirit. Collaborations with fellow Nigerian artists and producers have further cemented his reputation as a collaborative force, while his energetic live performances at venues like Freedom Park and The Shrine have solidified his stage presence.
