about

After releasing the lead single ‘Death By Dimitri’ (described as “the wonky love child of Travis Scott” – Jamz Supernova) Tony Njoku releases intense new hiphop collaborative single ‘KILLTONY’ out 12th February alongside his EP of the same name.

Adopting more of that genre-bending aesthetic he is getting known for, ‘KILLTONY’ showcases the artist as one of the more diverse and adventurous artists working today. Taking influence from the trap-inspired hip-hop sound and combining it with a fresh and ethereal sound palette and production gives this new release a distinct and remarkable vision that sees him take his rich sound to a whole new level.

Speaking about the latest single, Tony said, “The title track is about killing ego, facing your shortcomings, owning up to your bad traits, mistakes and wrong doings…. all in an attempt to elicit radical change.”

Tony Njoku is a British-Nigerian electronic music producer and songwriter and in addition to his musical accolades Tony has played widely across Europe, supporting acts including Kokoko!, Gaika, Anna Von Hauswolff, Laura Misch, Puma Blue, IDER and Rival Consoles, appearing at key tastemaker festivals like Green Man, Simple Things, Sonic City and Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here.

Tony says “the EP is a short collection of some songs I began working on during quarantine. They are mainly influenced by modern hip-hop production and also feature the most rap vocal performances in any of my releases yet. The EP showcases another shift in style to add to my growing arsenal. The beats are aggressive, catchy, fun and weird.”

His self-penned and produced songs have been described as ‘strikingly evocative soundscapes, managing to make even the shortest pop songs sound like epic adventures.’

With a sound that is both experimental and delicate, emotional and danceable – like a mad fusion of Sampha and Aphex Twin – Tony is a magnificently talented and versatile artist, performing solo with his unique mix of raw, vulnerable vocals and electronic mastery.

lyrics

Straight to the chase you’ve been running from allah
The wrinkles near you eyes are from the strain of your past
Silly little man you’ve been robbed of your innocence
Not even art could protect you from the dark.

In a instance, saw your whole life crushed it was menacing
Spent the whole time staunched in indifference
Blank stares like fuck is this happening
Who in your past came a robbed you of your worth
Tears in your eyes only thicken up the dirt
You sound like you crying when you’re singing all those songs
Silly little man don’t pretend like you’re innocent
Go blame your past when you break another heart.

Where’s the bassinette for the stillbirth
it’s your fault all the grief that you caused her
All the guilt trips, pointing fingers
Should be ashamed of all the names that you called her.

Imma change don’t desert me imma change
I’m moving forward ‘fore the demons come in range.

The inertia, you say you’re moving but your place is unchanged.


*Fighting The Thoughts In Your Head*

Look at the shots, I just be calling it.
Too much ego, I’m bout to fall in it.
You do a little, I just do all of it.
She came to the crib with them pills and I did all of it.

Can’t get out, stuck in my head
I’m bout to run, run to the bread
I you try to run it again, then imam leave him for dead
I feel like Yvonne Rainer, dancing on his grave.
