One of Komoblastic's song... NWANTITI (U DRIVE ME CRAZY)

GET TO KNOW THE KING OF HIP HOP FROM NIGERIA -KOMO BLASTIC

Komo Blastic
“For Me, Music is life.
It’s the outlet through which I can truly express myself”

The Nigerian Artist attended University Primary School, Nsukka; University Secondary School, Nsukka; Command Secondary, Abakabiliki; Sultan Bello Secondary School, Sokoto and left Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto with a BSC in Physics.
After serving his country in the late 90s, the songwriter, producer, entertainer, A&R Scout and CEO/DIRECTOR - KBMUSIC began his professional singing career.
Fela Kuti, Bob Marley and Dr Dre influenced the young talent. “Fela Kuti”, the pioneer of Afro-Beat, noted as a political maverick and an unforgettable performer. “Bob Marley“, the legend who is recognised for his honest lyrical content and for giving Reggae international recognition.
Like his inspirations, Komo Blastic was instrumental in the popularization of his genre, organising the first Afro Hip-Hop concert in Lagos which drew crowds of 50,000. Also like his inspirations, he offered something new to the game, as by truly embracing his roots his lyrical flow had a Nigerian twang to it, setting himself apart from his counterparts who rapped in an American accent. And true to being a pioneer, Komo Blastic has never allowed the power of his music to be dwindled on account of boundaries, distinguishing himself early on in the scene by capitalizing on his knowledge of four different Nigerian dialects, often using them all in the same track in order to increase the number of people who could truly understand and enjoy his music.

It is through live performance, however, that Komo Blastic truly connects with his fans.
in May 2008 he performed alongside R&B legend Joe and the 2008 Mix Festival, London, at which he performed beside some of the UK’s most noted Hip-Hop artists including Sway and Bashy. Truly, highlighting that Komo Blastic is carving his way into the UK and US market, distinguishing himself as one of the most entertaining Nigerian artists on the scene.

His album “jungle don mature” is no exception!
The artists sophomore album is 18 tracks deep, including:
“Jungle Don Mature” Featuring The Evidence
Produced Dr Frabs The Remix
with 2 bonus tracks:
1 Jungle don mature
2 Komo’s 10min
