The renowned entertainment company in Africa, Chocolate city unveiled the artist on the 15th of July along with his eponymous EP titled "Retroverse"; an impeccable collection of soulful and cinematic sounds.
The Benue State Afro-fusion artiste, Major AJ hails from Okpokwu Local government but spent his youthful years in Kainji town, Niger state. He lost his father who was a soldier at a very small age before his passion for music was ignited.
Major AJ is a computer science graduate of the prestigious University of Ilorin where he was able to showcase his talent and won different recognitions and awards ranging from; Hype Next Rated and Artist of the year, Kwara Outstanding Youths Award, Best Rap Artist, Betamalt Online Rap Competition, Hennessy VS Class Lagos Finalist 2018 just to mention a few and has since then headlined shows across Nigeria ranging from Dremo Campus Tour Unilorin, Trybe Ark Fest, and Ilorin Walk on Water Fashion Show.
The artist who adores Lil Wayne, the Choc Boys has always been on a journey of churning out colourful sounds like "One take", "Salo" et al, and while the musical journey has been hectic, the quality of his music has never diminished for once.
A versatile artist, with an infused talent for rap and singing, has jumped on several covers like Ladipoe's Big Energy, Mr Eazi's legalize, "Burna Boy's Cloak and Dagger" and several other blown records in some of the videos shared on his socials, especially Instagram — a move that's attributed to his desire to keep himself in the minds of his listener. It's a big testament to the fact that he's unarguably one of the fastest-growing stars in the Nigerian music industry, presently.
The singer/songwriter has always proved his versatility in delivering smooth vocals that further prove that he's truly on a mission to be the new face of African music and the "Retroverse EP", which is his first step towards continental relevance.
With the "Retroverse EP" looming on the horizon tonight, it’s no doubt "Retro baby" as he's fondly called is well on his way to achieving his goals. Major AJ who already has a reputation for pouring his emotions into his music seems to be yearning to express himself on a deeper level and we can’t wait to listen to "Retroverse EP", his latest project.
