Today, Nigerian rapper and lyrical architect Jason Nkanga releases “Pi,” his latest addition to a catalog defined by intelligence, energy, and lyrical sharpness. The track is a bold statement—complex, calculated, and creatively unbounded. Like the mathematical constant it’s named after, “Pi” challenges convention and stretches beyond limitations.
Jason has never been one to follow trends. With “Pi,” he presents not just a song, but a concept.
THE SOUND OF “PI”
“Pi” delivers sharp lyricism wrapped in a haunting, minimalist beat. Jason moves with intention, weaving through themes of ambition, knowledge, and personal philosophy. His flow mirrors the unpredictable yet calculated rhythm of the number itself—relentless, intelligent, and purposeful. The production leaves room for every word to land with force.
This isn’t casual listening. It’s crafted for those who listen to understand.
JASON NKANGA: INDEPENDENT BUT UNDENIABLE
Since his debut with Go Dumb in 2014, Jason Nkanga has remained a standout voice in African hip-hop. His acclaimed projects The Art of Rap and Redemption earned him respect as a thoughtful lyricist with global vision. Collaborations with names like PsychoYP, Blaqbonez, Mick Jenkins, and theMIND, alongside features in BBC, Hunger Magazine, and Okay Africa, have positioned him as a cultural voice in his own right.
With “Pi,” Jason pushes further—continuing to define his sound and shape his legacy without compromise.
ARTIST STATEMENT ON “PI”
Jason describes his creative process with clarity and focus:
“It started like every song does—I cut off distractions, zoned in on the beats, and waited for the one that stuck. ‘Pi’ hit me because the concept felt limitless. Once I started writing, it flowed endlessly. I even researched some bars to make sure they were airtight—because when I rap, every word has to mean something.”
He adds, “If my team likes it, that’s a bonus. But even if they don’t, if I feel strongly about a track, it drops. That’s the kind of artist I am—I take risks because the music deserves that.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
“Pi” represents more than just lyrical ability—it’s about longevity, vision, and impact. In a space often ruled by trends and algorithms, Jason continues to build a legacy rooted in quality, authenticity, and craft.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to his sound, this is the perfect moment to step into his world.
