Hyzah

Born and raised in inner-city Lagos, Hyzah’s music is equal parts energetic and enthralling, taking a cue from the rhythmic cadences, evocative storytelling tradition, and call-and-response scheme of  storied Nigerian genres like apala and fuji with further inspiration from trap, soul, and ‘90s Afrobeats. In 2021 a gritty video of Hyzah freestyling went viral and caught the attention of Canadian popstar, Drake and the visibility of this co-sign led to more attention for Hyzah, with artists like The Game, Olamide, Zlatan and Russ reaching out for potential collaborations. In the time since then, Hyzah has continued to work on his music which he self-describes as “freedom sound”. With only a cache of one single and some features, Hyzah has managed to build an audience with his magnetic voice and the promise that there’s always more to come from him.
