Bawo + SAMSON & Finn Bosco

West London rapper Bawo has garnered critical praise for his distinct sound, blending hip-hop influences with an organic style that sets him apart. Growing up in a traditional Nigerian household, his early exposure to diverse music—from Nigerian tribal tunes to UK grime and US rap—shaped his eclectic approach. Influenced by artists like Skepta, J Hus, and Oscar #Worldpeace, Bawo’s thoughtful lyricism and beat selection have made waves in the scene. His debut single “Give Me A Sec” (2019) and EPs Live & Let Thrive and Legitimate Cause showcase his range, blending love songs, introspective tracks, and experimental beats, earning praise from outlets like The Guardian and BBC Radio 1Xtra.

With a full-length project on the horizon, Bawo continues to evolve, emphasizing individuality and self-expression. Despite early career success, he remains grounded, recalling how he worked a morning shift at Waitrose after his first sold-out show. His next project, while still under wraps, aims to further define his sound and inspire others to stay true to themselves, reinforcing his commitment to authenticity in his music.
