As WANI prepares for the Platoon-powered release of his sophomore EP – a sequel to his breakout project – fans and the industry wait with bated breath to behold the growth of WANI’s unique talent.
Though the title implies a continuation, ‘Lagos City Vice II’ marks a new chapter in WANI’s artistry, one for which he has been prepared his whole life. Born in Washington DC but spending his childhood in Lagos, WANI is best known for melding the R&B sensibilities of his Western nationality with the globally dominating soundscape of contemporary Nigerian music.
In today’s globally interconnected world, many artists are lauded for their ability to subvert genres, but WANI’s distinct vocal delivery, his consistent lover-boy lyricism, his penchant for sampling, and his unique approach to fusion have set him apart in the multi-generational alternative music scene.
