King Soundboi is Shaping a New Sound for Nigerian Music and Afro-Culture

From the vibrant streets of Ibadan, Folarin Usman Babatunde, widely known as King Soundboi, has been on a relentless quest to redefine the Nigerian music and the Afrobeats soundscape,. Driven by an innate talent and an unwavering ambition, King Soundboi isn’t just releasing music; he’s meticulously building a legacy that resonates far beyond his hometown, captivating audiences across the nation. His prolific output, featuring streaming hits like “Tinuke” and “Nawoya!,” firmly establishes him as a formidable presence in the industry.

At the heart of King Soundboi’s musical journey lies a profound commitment to his community. He views his art as a powerful conduit to propel Ibadan onto the global stage, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and vibrant talent that Nigeria boasts. This vision transcends personal accolades, aiming instead to instill a sense of pride and garner international recognition for his homeland. More than just an artist, King Soundboi embodies the role of an ambassador, carrying the aspirations of his city within every rhythm and melody.

King Soundboi deliberately taps into his cultural roots for his latest release “Alimama”, to leave an eternal impression with whoever comes across the jam. The infusion of Yoruba language serves as a conscious approval to heritage, enriching the track with layers of meaning and his lyrical prowess. This intentional celebration of culture, not only adds authenticity to the music, but also reinforces the singer’s role as a cultural ambassador, bridging the gap between tradition and contemporary musical innovation.

Fans can eagerly anticipate a new body of work later this year, brimming with infectious “Lamba” (street slang). Meanwhile, King Soundboi encourages everyone to stream his latest single, “Alimama,” a testament to his continuous artistic growth.
