MUSIC REVIEW: Despite standout collaborations, Nasboi’s ‘I.N.I.T.’ stumbles with repetitive themes

Lawal Nasiru, aka Nasboi, known for his skits, is seemingly becoming serious in his musical journey. After releasing viral ‘Umbrella’ in 2023 and ‘Small Money’ in May, Nasboi takes a fresh swipe with his debut EP, titled ‘I.N.I.T.,’ which means—In Nasboi, I Trust.

This nine-track project is a unique blend of Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and pop, with a touch of humour in the lyrics. It captures Nasboi’s transition from a comedian to a musician, embodying his passion for music, which dates back to his early influences, such as 2Baba and Davido.

I.N.I.T. is the skitmaker’s attempt to carve an identity as an artiste, and the project is packed with star-studded collaborations that elevate the sound and provide credibility to his musical transition.

However, the 32-year-old singer has thrived on relatability and promotional strategies, and the EP doesn’t stray far from that formula. Throughout the EP, Nasboi swings between themes of ambition, self-doubt, love, and success, all packaged within regular Afrobeats rhythms, enhancing its commercial appeal and potential impact on the Afrobeats scene.
