Nigerian rapper and songwriter Shallipopi is back with his first single of the year, "LAHO", showcasing his unique sound. This release, in collaboration with his label Plutomania Records, marks his debut with Since '93, the label behind big names like Tems and Tyla.
Hailing from Benin City, Shallipopi's music is shaped by the lively streets of his hometown, and his distinct sound has earned him significant recognition. His breakout hit, "Elon Musk", and his debut album "Planet Pluto" brought him mainstream attention. He has since been named one of VEVO's DSCR Artists to Watch in 2025, and his track "Cast" with Odumodublack has amassed over 9 million streams in the UK, topping the Afrobeats charts for 13 weeks.
A rising star, Shallipopi has also made major appearances, including performing alongside Asake at the O2 Arena, headlining Electric Brixton, and joining Rema at Wireless. With support from tastemakers like Rolling Stone Africa, GUAP, and Clash, Shallipopi continues to solidify his place as one of Africa’s most exciting artists.
