The prolific rapper debuts a solid full-length project; a collection of ruminations from the mind of Nigeria’s very own.

Poe is in top form throughout the 10-track offering, showing off the full range of his talent as a versatile but established artist. On “TAP” he traverses several genres with finesse, including Trap, Dancehall, new Highlife (Palm-wine) and of course, hip-hop.

“It has taken me time to figure out what kind of artist I am,” Poe said. “A lot of people didn’t realize you could be Nigerian and be yourself. You can be authentic and eclectic. Now I understand what kind of role my music plays, and what it will be in the future. I’m filling a void left open in the Nigerian music space.”

The project begins with the reflective 'Voices', an outward expression of Poe’s inner monologues - touching on destiny, choices, life and the struggle to put art first.

‘''Voices’ marks the moment when I heard my own voice above the noise,” he said. “That song represents when Poe really started to talk about Poe.”

The first track gives way to the cut-throat 'Double Homicide Interlude', a lyrical killer featuring Ghost of Show Dem Camp, and a declaration of Poe’s independence when it comes to flow.

There’s the occasional subtle and tasteful departure from the light-hearted, as is the case with 'Hello Goodbye'- a breezy, melodic tune featuring Sir Dauda. This song easily tackles challenging topics like loss, regret and moving on.

“TAP” showcases other notable vocal features from powerhouse singers Seyi Shay and Efya, newcomer Tems and frequent collaborator Funbi, and masterful production from IKON, Otee Beats, Duggie and Spax.

Each song has its own energy; telling a different story but all coming together for a cohesive first project from one of Nigeria’s best rappers.

Following the success of his first two singles under Mavin Records, “TAP” is a prime example of why we’re poised to “Talk About Poe” for years to come.
