Building on the steady collaborative catalogue defining Lagos’ underground scene at the moment, ONX taps Scotty Olorin to expand that movement with Swag City, a two-track release that distills the ambition, swagger, and restless creative energy shaping the city’s new generation of artists.
After returning to Lagos earlier this year, ONX found himself immersed in a new creative circle whose sound and perspective pushed him in a different direction. A mutual friend introduced him to Scotty Olorin, and with producers they had never previously worked with, the pair entered the studio with no blueprint beyond making music that felt authentic to where they were creatively. Swag City was the result.
Produced by OYB, Purple Cup leans into the city’s confidence, nightlife, and everyday hustle, capturing the fearless mentality that fuels its youth culture, whereas StarShine, produced by WorldRetro, offers a more introspective moment, centering on hope, faith, and the belief that persistence can turn dreams into reality.
Overall, the two-track project is well worth a listen.
