On tracks like “Show Workings,” he effortlessly switches between British English, Nigerian Pidgin, and Yoruba—showcasing his linguistic versatility. Even his pop-inspired records like “Melanini Girl,” crafted with AI software, feature sharp rhymes and clever wordplay. His influences span from Nas’s poetic storytelling and Juice WRLD’s melodic freestyles to Drake’s hitmaking genius, Olamide’s cultural authenticity, and Lecrae’s gospel-driven rap.
