After series of anticipation, Nigerian rappers, Jeriq and PsychoYP have released their much-awaited joint EP aptly titled, Evil Twin. Executively produced by the legendary Phyno, the five-track project is a sonic piece that’ll leave a print on the Nigerian hip-hop scene.
Evil Twin isn’t just a title, it’s a statement. The EP sees a fusion of Jeriq’s vibrant South East flow and PsychoYP’s gritty Abuja trap swagger. It’s like witnessing two rap titans from different galaxies colliding, their contrasting styles intertwining to create a sonic supernova.
Jeriq, known for his infectious energy and streetwise storytelling, brings his A-game to the table. Tracks like the opening salvo, Disintegrate, crackle with his signature bounce, while introspective cuts like First Milli takes us to where he started getting paid. On the other hand, PsychoYP, extremely gifted rapper, weaves lyrical webs that capture the heart of many listeners. His razor-sharp verses on tracks like Disintegrate and No Stylist paint vivid pictures with every word.
