X, is a central figure in the global expansion of Afropop. Emerging from the high school group Flyboiz, his career trajectory shifted dramatically in 2013 upon signing with Wizkid's Starboy Entertainment.
His breakout single 'Caro' established him as a premier hitmaker, a reputation solidified by subsequent releases like 'Ginger'. His sound identity is defined by a sophisticated blend of Afrobeats, R&B, and house music, often utilizing the 'Zaza' aesthetic - a term he coined to describe his specific brand of confident, stylish, and rhythmic music. Critically, he is noted for his ability to maintain a high level of technical vocal ability while catering to the demands of commercial dance music. His evolution from a pure rapper to a melodic singer-songwriter reflects the broader trend in Nigerian music toward genre-fluidity. He occupies a unique space as a 'Diaspora Artiste' who maintains deep local relevance while successfully navigating international markets through collaborations with producers like R3HAB.
