With over three million streams, an award-winning debut album, and sold out concerts, Drizilik is the breakout star of Freetown’s music revival which is a fusion of Sierra Leonean goombay, bubu, and milo jazz, with hip-hop and afrobeats. His skillful songwriting, catchy one-liners, and deep cultural metaphors on his 10-track Album of the Year winning Shukubly record, earned him the moniker of Sierra Leone’s king of new school music. Drizilik’s range and inimitable delivery both as a rapper and singer have led to back-to-back hit singles and collaborations including ‘Shukubly’, ‘Move Right’ with BAFTA winner Big Zuu, and the grimey classic ‘Di Mammy Im Moni Fo Komot’. The 2021 MTV Africa Music Award ‘Listener’s Choice’ Nominee has rocked stages from Freetown, Lagos, to London; including Madengn Festival, Fashion Week for Labrum, Youtube’s Africa Day Concert, Sierra Leone & Gambia Music Festival, and Hull City’s Freedom Festival.
