Small Singer, a rising force in the Nigerian music scene whose sound is deeply rooted in the vibrant energies of street-pop and Afrobeats, has officially released his debut EP, “STUBBORN GOAT.” Known for drawing inspiration from his own lived experiences, Small Singer has spent years refining his craft through high-profile collaborations with industry veterans like Small Doctor and Oritse Femi. With this new project, he steps fully into his own, offering a personal and unfiltered account of hustle, survival, and inevitable growth.
“STUBBORN GOAT” is a concise four-track project that masterfully charts a path from the depths of struggle to the heights of celebration. The EP opens with the poignant “Show Me Love,” where Small Singer reflects on a period of intense hardship. The track serves as a testimony to his resilience, recalling months spent without financial stability or family support, and the relentless pressure of navigating street life while holding onto faith. This mindset carries directly into “Hope,” an anthem of belief where he expresses a firm conviction that every struggle will eventually yield success worth sharing and remembering.
As the project progresses, the energy shifts from endurance to victory. “Invite Me” introduces a lighter, celebratory atmosphere, serving as a call for recognition and the enjoyment of life after the grind. The EP concludes with “Omooge,” a track that explores a romantic perspective, focusing on connection and the human desire for companionship. Across all four tracks, Small Singer maintains a direct and honest storytelling style, complemented by upbeat, street-driven production that perfectly mirrors his lyrical message.
The release marks a significant milestone for the artist, solidifying his reputation as a storyteller for the streets who isn’t afraid to show his vulnerability. “STUBBORN GOAT” is an invitation to witness the evolution of an artist who remains unyielding in the face of adversity.
“STUBBORN GOAT” is now available on all major streaming platforms via ONErpm.
