Emerging artist Toby $pades has released a new two-track EP that underscores a unique ability to fuse Afrobeat, Afroswing, and Hip-Hop while presenting contrasting moods and soundscapes.With live instrumentation, genre fluidity, and lyrical depth, the project captures both the vibrancy of contemporary African-influenced sounds and the intimacy of raw storytelling.

The EP’s opening track is a two-part composition that begins with a deep, soulful introduction before shifting seamlessly into an upbeat Afrobeat section. Anchored by live instruments and an infectious hook — “no control, we just wanna catch cruise” — the track embraces freedom, joy, and movement. A full-minute instrumental outro closes the piece, reinforcing its uplifting and celebratory spirit.

The second track offers a striking counterbalance. Built on heavy strings and haunting chord progressions, it abandons traditional song structure in favor of raw expression. Without achorus, its verses carry an intimate weight, showcasing personal and emotionally chargedlyricism. The song concludes with an extended instrumental passage that lingers with a sense of gravity and reflection

By pairing high-energy, dance-driven Afrobeat with starkly vulnerable songwriting, Toby $pades demonstrates a versatility that positions him as a voice to watch in the global Afro-inspired music movement.

The EP is available now on all major streaming platforms.
