After a long music break from the duo “El Phlex”, one half of the duo of
music brothers, Ariyo Adeniyi popularly known as Phlex has decided to
establish himself as a solo artist.
The one time NEA Awards nominees famous for their song “Aiye Mi” featuring
Oritse Femi, have however not announced any break up, but news making the
rounds is that the other half Ariyo Oluwaseun known as Elshawn is currently
in the United States of America, furthering his Education.
Phlex is a singer, song writer and rapper. Phlex is focused on his music
right now and is currently working on a solo project to be released
sometime very soon.
Phlex hasn’t wasted much time in moving on with his music regardless, on
this new song titled: ROGER (A common slang on streets of Lagos and Nigeria
in general, meaning money), which is the first single off is forthcoming
project; Phlex takes it all to the streets. A song that brags about street
credibility, a huge street followership and a pocket full of cash.
Phlex gets the assistance of “2 Kings” on this song, Reminisce who is
unarguable the King of the streets aka Alaga Ibile, the rapper who just
dropped his fourth album: “EL Hadj” easily flossed on the drum rolling
beat,delivering an ear catchy, street laced and yet catchy verse on the
theme of the song.
The second “King” featured on this song is the acclaimed king of the south:
Yung6ix, also dropped punch lines on punch lines like he’s known for,
making references to stories making the rounds of him almost getting shot:
“I heard the N*ggatried to drop me like my new single”, “Like the walls of
Jericho, they pray for me to fall”. Both rappers easily complemented the
effort of Phlexwho easily aced and delivered a very catchy hook. Also the
chant on the beat reminiscent of that from the southern part of Africa,
adds a lovely flavour of sound to the song.
Phlex on his verse talks about his journey from nothing to the lime light
flosses about his street credibility “an omo ita that machetes the beat”
and monetary status and how he should be respected. The video for this
street banger has also been shot; it will hit the airwaves very soon. For
now enjoy the song.
