Nigerian gifted rapper Highstarlavista drops his new “MATERIAL” EP today, and it arrives as one of his most focused projects yet.
Six tracks, different producers, a couple of well-chosen features, and a clear direction from start to finish. That’s what “MATERIAL” delivers. Highstarlavista has been building quietly within Nigeria’s indigenous rap space for a while now, and this EP feels like him planting a proper flag and demanding attention.
What makes the project work is the variety within a consistent sound. He moves between solo records and collabs without the project ever losing its identity. Mojo AF shows up on “Balu Balu” and keeps the energy sharp. Aguero Banks brings warmth to “Blessings.” Erigga, one of Nigeria’s most respected rap veterans, appears on “Mgbidi” and adds serious weight to the back half of the project.
Production comes from different hands across all six tracks, including Fiive, Ronehi, Stryka, and Enaps, keeping things fresh without sounding scattered. Each producer fits their track rather than pulling the project in different directions.
