play_arrowLas Gidi Kingin: Blending Lagos Roots with Global Sounds Boluwatife
Las Gidi Kingin is an emerging force in the music industry, seamlessly blending the raw energy of Lagos with global influences. Born Steven Idode, he hails from Ojuelegba, Lagos, with Edo heritage but now resides in Toronto, where he makes music full-time. With a unique blend of Afrobeats and hip-hop, Las Gidi Kingin is carving out a space for himself in the ever-evolving Nigerian music scene.
Las Gidi Kingin’s love for music started in the church choir, where he was frequently chosen to lead performances. This early exposure to music led him to miming in school, eventually leading to the recording of his first song in 2010. His journey has been one of steady growth, shaped by his Lagos upbringing and international experiences.
When it comes to inspirations, 2Baba stands as his biggest Nigerian influence, while internationally, he draws from the raw and fearless energy of 50 Cent. These influences can be heard in his sound—a mix of deep storytelling, rhythmic beats, and confident delivery.
Las Gidi Kingin’s latest single, “Tempted 2 Touch”, is a high-energy party anthem with flirtatious lyrics celebrating a woman’s beauty. With its infectious rhythm and feel-good vibe, the song is set to be a favorite on dance floors and playlists.
Lagos, especially Ojuelegba and Shitta, has played a major role in shaping Las Gidi Kingin’s sound and lyrical themes. He incorporates the hustle, resilience, and street-smart energy of Lagos into his music, making his songs relatable, raw, and authentic.
Las Gidi Kingin believes the Nigerian music industry is evolving but currently lacks variety, noting that many new artists have similar sounds. His goal is to bring something different—a fresh perspective and a unique approach to music-making.
While he acknowledges that it’s too early to define his unique mark in the industry, Las Gidi Kingin is committed to authenticity and letting time reveal his distinctive style. His lyrical depth and evolving music-making approach set him apart from the crowd.
Las Gidi Kingin prioritizes melody over lyrics when creating music. His songwriting process starts with a melody, which then guides the theme and lyrics of his songs. This method allows for a more organic and emotionally-driven sound.
While he admires many artists, he approaches collaborations organically, preferring to work with those who genuinely appreciate his artistry. Fans can look forward to a 4-5 track EP dropping in February, promising a deeper dive into his sound and storytelling.
