Introduced to Nigeria’s music scene with punchy rhymes as evidenced by “Menace”, Victony (born Anthony Victory) traded punchlines for melodic notes with his Saturn EP. A transition anchored by witty lyricism and delicate falsetto cadences, the singer infuses Afrobeats with pop, trap and R&B undertones. While the Spanish-tinged “Maria” encapsulates the indulgence of his debut EP, “Space and Time” resides in the realm of emo-rap and “Jo Riddim” strums its way into earworm territory. Entering a new phase on the two-piece Dark Times, Victony explores more profound themes while reflecting on his tribulations. Helming the chorus of Mayorkun’s “Holy Father”, Victony displays the essence of his art—an engaging translation of his thoughts and feelings.
