Versatility is a premium asset for any artist. Those who have managed to unlock that level of artistry that allows them to do multiple things at an elevated level deserve all the praise they get.
Emerging star Leke OTB might still be working his way up the mainstream, however with the range he packs, his journey is promising.
In his single 'Night Like This', the rapper, singer, and producer offers different sides of his artistry as he crafts a soothing hip-hop cut to celebrate the beauty of getting a love that conquers all.
As the title suggests, Leke has always craved pure love, a passion burning, and a lover equally fully and irrevocably in love with him as he's with her. And now that he has found this love, he holds it dear while celebrating all the moments that led to it.
With mid-tempo rap flows and minimalist production that allows his sobering thoughts to take center stage, Leke OTB celebrates the little things while offering to give his all to sustain a love whose beauty delights him.
The song features rapper Efe Money, who taps from within and shares his heart with calm flows that comfortably lay over the beat.
If 'Night Like This' excels on any ground, it's on Leke OTB's production where the soothing keys and mid-tempo arrangement create the calming ambiance needed to paint the tender, sensual, and exotic imageries the song communicates.
While OTB might have impressed with his production, Efe's rapping, especially the second verse could have used some more work. It's impossible to ignore his interpolation of Skepta's flow on 'Bad Energy,' which suggests a lack of effort more than it flatters the UK hip-hop royalty.
In all of this, what is clear is Leke OTB's admirable versatility and understanding of music. With this, he can aim for the top.
