Ibadan is gradually making a habit of churning out young and skilled rappers, and Narlti can lay claim to being a full-fledged member of that growing population. Narlti is not exactly a newbie as he has official singles on streaming services dating as far back as 2016, most of which have performed decently enough. It took 6 years, but we finally have the first official body of work from the rapper, and it’s simply titled “99Baby”.
Narlti is not one of those artistes that carry the rapper tag but do more of singing on their songs. He is very much in tune with the cultural demands of the genre: powerful punchlines, intricate metaphors, and clever wordplays. All of the above is what you get on “99Baby”, a project that chronicles the life, hopes and aspirations of the young artiste. He manages to play around with different sounds but maintains a Hip-hop core to his energy and lyricism.
