Octopizzo has once and for all, finally talked about his latest approach to his music.

If you’re a true, loyal fan of Octopizzo, you would notice that he’s changed the music approach that was almost synonymous to him in the music industry today.

Octopizzo calls the change the much-needed growth and evolving and taking the steering wheel of the Kenyan hip hop and mainstream music, something that he’s been doing ever since he dropped ‘Make that Mulla Buy that Ndula’ record a couple of years ago.

Octopizzo –who recently his 5th studio album making him one of the most prolific, reliable, consistent rappers in the game today and one of the three music acts after Sauti Sol, King Kaka to have 5 studio albums in their music catalog– thanked his loyal stan who was keen enough to notice the change in his music recently and explained why his music is way ahead of the others in the music industry, not just the hip hop and rap arena.

The fan, @smalltownzebra (on Twitter) called him out for being off-key on his ‘Maselina’ record, “Bro ulikuwa Offkey kwa Maselina but we move!,” but Octopizzo was quick to answer him telling him that it was intentional right off the bat; “Offkey was the intention, mi apana singer 😂😂 MCs get away wirh being offkey all the time, as long as I didn’t autotune” he answered.

“I agree, but I kinda think recently you’ve traded off lyricism for sound. What do you have to say about that?” the stan, @smalltownzebra wrote.

“Am glad you’ve noticed it’s called growth, I don’t have to prove my lyricism anymore, am dope, I got the hardest barz so I needed a new challenge & that’s why I chose to go for sounds that make me uncomfortable yet broadens my reach as a creative.

Still the Goat 🐐.” Octopizzo noted.

 

I am a Pan-Afrikanist to the core and love to let the world know what they are missing in Africa. I might do that through music and some interesting posts from time to time so please bare with me.

I will always be real though, that's a guarantee.
