The songwriter and
producer of Afro-pop music known as Bishop has released his latest
official single, “Keke Napep.” The single has been proudly
published as an independent release without the involvement of the
corporate music industry on the Blessed With Cash record label. In
addition to the talents of Bishop, himself, “Keke Napep” also
features the skills of Vellie P. Happy, full of groove, and packed
with international appeal, “Keke Napep” showcases Bishop as one
of the most intriguing African pop-music artists in recent memory and
promises he has plenty more where that came from.
Nigeria's Bishop cites as
main artistic influences Drake, Wizkid, Lil Durk, Tuface, Psquare,
and Don Jazzy. Bishop's own sound takes elements from each of these
and adds something fresh and unique for a result unlike anything
today's music fans have heard before. With an emphasis on local tone,
acoustic percussion sounds, and a healthy amount of aggression, “Keke
Napep” by Bishop has a little something for everybody.
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “Keke Napep,” Bishop writes only, “#Dance
#Afropop #Dancehall #BWC!” The words themselves come from a brand
of three-wheeled scooter cars common to Nigeria.
Interestingly, Bishop's
rising music career is a left turn from his background.
“I didn't even
start listening to music until 2010,” says Bishop, “because my
dad is really strict, so I was never allowed to … Now that I have
grown, music is seriously everything to me! My music tastes have
changed a lot, too.”
Bishop had to shoulder
much responsibility while still very young because of his father's
poor health. He recalls s time when their wasn't enough food in his
home. His first official video, “Show Me Love” dropped in 2016.
His most recent video, “Ibiza,” was released in 2019 and
continues to rack up views.
“Keke Napep” by
Bishop on the Blessed With Cash label is available from over 600
quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early,
African pop music fans.
