Apple Music has announced Afrobeats singer-songwriter, Abiodun Timilehin aka T.I Blaze, as the latest featured artist in its ‘Up Next’ emerging artist program in Nigeria.
Reacting, T.I Blaze said; “It’s almost unbelievable that a kid from the streets can achieve such heights in such little time.
”Feels good to say the least that Apple Music is recognising a boy from the trenches,” he told Apple Music.

Born and raised in Agbado in Lagos state south west Nigeria, Blaze swiftly made a name for himself in his hometown, after deciding to pursue music professionally in 2020.
It was the support of his “Corncity” regional fanbase that allowed his first few singles to rise sharply up the local charts.

His debut release The Fresh Prince Of Lagos, is a 6-track EP that featured fan favourite “Try” and the chart-topping single “Sometimes”, alongside the Amapiano-tinged “Gbedu”, “Oba” featuring Barry Jhay, “Basic” featuring Blxckie and Rasaqi NFG and the street pop-esque “Sometimes (Remix)” with Olamide.
