New wonder kid, Expenxive returns with EP, ‘First of All’

Abdullahi Adebayo Adeyemi who is better known in the music industry as Expenxive has released his long awaited debut extended play, ‘First of All’.

The project which was recently released featured Adebowale with Expenxive singing on the remaining five tracks. The EP release marks his first sonic release in about ten months. The song was released under his Expenxive records label with a running time of sixteen minutes with prolific producer PTD and Lord working as music producer on the project.

‘Corner,’ kicks off the song with the singer serenading the listeners with sultry tune. The feel good type of beat was put into good use as he sings about life, tribulations and the innate desire for good life.

On the second track ‘Desperado’, Expensixe seems to have chronicled his life as he detailed his journey as a hustler on the street. While he is aware of frenemies, he is quick to tell them about his constant battle with poverty.

Adebowale gave a good account of himself on ‘Three Gram’, he had a good grasp of the song. When his part on the song comes up, he takes it to another level. The production quality of the song even makes it more fantastic to listen to. It shows the clarity of purpose that might have gone in the execution of the song.

‘Oluwanishola’, is a classy example of how a gospel song could be crafted. Beyond appealing to the artiste demography, it also appeals to religious folks as the singer sings about the power of the Most High in his quest for comfort and money. The hook urges the listeners to look up to God and seek his guidance.

‘I’m Sorry’, is arguably the percussive production on this extended play. With samples from Shola Allyson’s ‘Eji Owuro,’ the singer is apologetic on this tune. Gangan drum remains the foundation of this track. While it is apologetic, it still has some shades of love and romance enshrined in this song.

‘Konra,’ which served as the lead single for this project, closes the EP. In the song, he bemoans people’s inconsistency and attitude to life. The free flowing song has over a thousand streams on Spotify.
