Netizens share first-listen thoughts on Nasboi’s recently released EP
TheRadar curated some below:
@the_lawrenz said, “Nasboi is a proper musician but because he broke out as a comedian, people underrate his musical talent,”
@ade_adeayo wrote, “If the Nigerian pop music landscape has taught me anything, it’s the great difficulty involved in switching from a field in entertainment to making music. Nasboi’s success as an artist is no mean feat. His EP ‘I.N.I.T’ shows growth, ambition, and industry acceptance.”
@CalibreCrown said, “Nasboi will be fine, underrated or not. Some of the musicians we have now started from something until they moved into music fully and now they're here. Sometimes you need to gather the following from somewhere before you pivot. He'll be fine.”
@TheSilverpr said, “Nasboi has truly exceeded all expectations, proving that his talent goes far beyond comedy, he did something impressive on this project.”
@Ty_kulcat said, “This isn't just hype, but Nasboi is really talented when it comes to music.”
@alexxyrn said, “Nasboi just dey lose home and away, below average in both music and skits.”
@iamdeeben said, “It’s getting tiring
He needs to choose between skit and music”
@abazwhyllzz commented, “Nasboi,2face idibia and Falz in one song?? Chai I’m sorry for my ears,”
