Lagos, Nigeria, December 21 2024- Alternative singer-songwriter T3agray releases new single “Legend”, featuring Nigerian trap artist Luwa.Mp4. This marks his fifth and final drop of 2024, coming on the heels of the hair-raising melodic rap single “Lovelorn”. It has been a year of visceral heartbreak songs from the genre-defying virtuoso, who has been lauded not just for his alchemical artistry but his compellingly raw lyricism.
Produced by Chaz, “Legend” takes a slight detour from the angsty themes often explored by T3agray. Like his previous work, this new single draws inspiration from his somewhat nomadic background, creating a fresh sound that bridges the gap between his multi-dimensional worlds. On “Legend” T3agray brings this vision closer to home, incorporating elements of Afrobeats into his usual avant-garde style. “I’ve battled with infusing the Nigerian half of my life in my music but with this song, I just decided to let loose. This is me being as candid as possible, mirroring my everyday life as a binational,” he says of his latest release.
The result is a raging alte punk rock masterpiece that will have mosh pit devotees raring to go. T3agray deftly switches between gritty pidgin English and AAVE, spitting vainglorious one-liners with reckless abandon. Luwa.Mp4 proves to be the perfect partner-in-crime, revving things up with a red-hot accompanying verse.
Fencing champion by day and rockstar by night, T3agray has been challenging the norm with his music since 2020. His work draws extensively from his lived experiences, reflecting an unabashed honesty that is at once provocative and endearing to his listeners. A nonconformist at heart, he is no stranger to the delicate art of experimentation, ever discovering new dimensions within his multifaceted sound and exploring them unafraid.
