LAGOS, Jun .6, 2016–After Intriguing our ears with his latest collaboration with Olamide in “Who You Epp”–joining him on his United States tour, Tade Adepoju commonly known by his stage name LasGiiDi (two I’s) is ready to break into the Nigerian music scene. His new song LOGO is to be released on the 10th of June 2016.
LasGiiDi who lived in the United States for a larger part of his life–from the tender age of 12, has always kept in touch with his Yoruba heritage, which is every evident in his musical afro-pop style and talking drum influenced rhythms. This could be as a result of spending his formidable childhood years growing up in Ilasa and attending Adventist high school in Ile Ife.
LasgiiDi who has been bursting local speakers in his local underground scene in Dallas, Texas got recognized by MTV and described Lasgiidi as; “A formidable stage performer whose versatility and impeccable lyrical wittiness will definitely take him places.” Now that he is back on home soil, LasgiiDi’s new song, LOGO engineered and produced by GIGGZ, takes an upbeat approach at captivating its listeners to his distinct sound and take on Afrocentric-pop buttressed with world class audio visuals.
He’s musical influences range from Fela to his friend Olamide with a work ethic stronger than no other. LasGiiDi was the hardest and most consistent worker in the industry in 2015. With hits like Won Kere (Won Kere loosely samples Fatai Rolling Dollar's mega hit "Won Kere Si Number Wa") and Orekelewa Ft. Sammie David both of which have thousands of views on social media. In addition to his consistency with the solid tracks and videos, he also performed at the prestigious 2015 AFRIMMA AWARDS, one of the biggest African Award show in the diaspora, after being the inaugural winner of the 2015 Set The Stage AFRIMMA Competition.
To Start 2016, LasGiiDi dropped a video for the previously released single 100's, which is already circulating well in the streets. Continuing with the consistency needed to take over the industry, he released the street anthem with the video titled My Squad Ft. Bils. Not even 3 weeks after, LasGiiDi released the cypher remix of My Squad titled My Squad 2.0 Ft. Tall Paul, Kidfloh, Ebako, Mr. Renegade & Tytanium to very high acclaim. In March, LasGiiDi dropped another track quite different from what his fans are accustomed to. On this track titled "Touch the Sky," LasGiiDi features Chyn,who is currently enjoying unprecedented success with his hit song "BIG," and Vanessa Mumba, a soulful songstress originally from Zambia but based in Atlanta. Touch the Sky is a motivational song that inspires the audience to chase their dream. This showcased both his versatility and emotional charisma.
