DRB Lasgidi is a dynamic Nigerian music collective, prominent for their significant role in pioneering the Alté (alternative) scene, which is a sub-genre that fuses hip-hop, highlife, and Afrobeat to create a refreshing, avant-garde sound. The group consists of three members: the distinctively raspy-voiced rapper Teezee, the smooth-voiced singer Boj, and the eclectic producer and musician Fresh L. Originating from Lagos (Lasgidi being a colloquial term for the city), the group has been credited with shaping a new cultural wave among the urban Nigerian youth through their music and fashion since their formation in the late 2000s.
Over the years, DRB Lasgidi has constantly pushed the boundaries of the Nigerian music scene with their innovative style. Their recent releases, including the groundbreaking project "Pioneers," celebrate their tenth year in the industry and solidify their influential status. Tracks such as "Softly," "Shomo," and "Based On" continue to feature their distinctive sound that perfectly blends traditional African rhythms with modern beats, showcasing their versatility and the evolution of the Alté movement. With songs like "Alté," "Necessary," and "DRB 10," DRB Lasgidi has not only chronicled their journey but also set a blueprint for new artists in the burgeoning Afro-fusion genre. Their artistry has garnered them a dedicated fan base and respected stature in the Nigerian music industry and beyond.
