Anayor on Leaving London, Summer in Lekki & Building his own lane in Nigerian Hip-Hop
UK-born, Lagos-based rapper Kanayo (Anayor) stops by the Jusmen 105.7 studio with Randy Morgan for an unfiltered conversation on betting on himself, breaking into the Nigerian music scene, and the making of his project, Summer in Lekki. From growing up on Kano, 50 Cent, and Fabolous in London to making the permanent move to Nigeria, Kanayo breaks down the reality of transitioning cultures, finding his signature sound, and why he calls his latest release a mixtape instead of an EP. He also shares raw advice for upcoming artists on spending a ₦500k–₦1M promo budget wisely, staying independent versus signing major label deals, and what’s next over the next 12 months.
