Ogun-born street-hop act T Dollar serves up “Motija,” the second track on his six-song “Bahubali” EP .
The record lands right after the project’s opener “Akoba,” so it keeps the momentum rolling without any drop in energy .
The song leans into that familiar lane of message-driven street-pop and trench-hop that T Dollar has built his name around . He rides the beat with his raspy texture, moving between conversational verses and melodic stretches that feel natural rather than forced . The production stays warm and groove-heavy, matching his vocal stamina without crowding the mix . Lyrically, he keeps things rooted in everyday survival and spiritual thankfulness, themes that have defined his catalogue from “Rise” to “No Stress” .
What gives “Motija” extra weight is the context around it. T Dollar has already worked with names like Seyi Vibez, Oladips, and Harrysong, so he knows how to hold a record down alongside bigger acts . The “Bahubali” title borrows from the legendary warrior figure, using that metaphor of strength and triumph over tough circumstances . “Motija” fits that energy because it builds on the EP’s opening statement instead of slowing things down.
So if you enjoy street-pop with a motivational edge, this one deserves a proper listen. Have you tapped into “Motija” yet?
