Some of the best artists are hard to pin down. Artists who elude definitive categorisation, operating in those interstitial spaces where genres converge and new sounds emerge. Rigo Kamp is one of such artists. At the core of the Lagos-based singer’s appeal is his moving falsetto and a fluidity that allows him to navigate a wide spectrum of genres with compelling flair. A spirited Juju-inspired performance could be suspended for an ethereal Alt-Pop bridge before returning to the party, or he can seamlessly hop from Disco-Pop to soulful Jazz. There are no rules when it comes to his music, and he’s been able to prove that even with a lean discography.   

While “Summer/Morning Sun,” his two-pack drop from late 2024, offered a tantalizing glimpse into his diverse soundscape, it was his well-received eponymous debut EP from earlier in the year that truly exhibited his unique approach to making music. Songs like the vibrant opener “Marathon” to “Miss You,” a wistful number about an elusive love interest, really showcase the singer’s ability to straddle the lines between genres but still manage to create beautiful music. 

Now, building on the momentum of ‘Rigo Kamp,’ the singer has released his latest single titled “Check It.” The Under alum was recently announced as Most Likely To Dream Big by music distribution company United Masters Africa as part of a larger initiative, which includes an album titled ‘Most Likely’ set for release on July 18.  Here, he interjects his melodious vocal runs with silky, braggadocious raps about his elegant style and gushing love interests. “When I check in, it feels like a cameo, I pop out I no dey for all this iranu,” he raps with the effortless swagger of a seasoned MC, highlighting his flexibility as an artist as well as his growth in such a short period.  

Elsewhere, he deftly switches through multiple sing-rap flows to convey his amusing stream of consciousness. One minute, he’s humorously suggesting an intimate relationship with a friend, the next, he’s expressing his lack of fucks to give. It’s the perfect blend of groove, braggadocio, and humour all brought together on one song. 

Following the release of his debut “Summer/Morning Sun,” the singer stated in a press release that while his listeners might not be able to connect to him lyrically, his main aim is for them to feel something sonically. So far, it’s fair to say that he’s been able to keep to that objective. His eclectic songs have all managed to evoke a distinctive feeling of their own, and his latest addition, “Check It,” is no different.
