After helming the likes of Rema, Ayra Starr, Bayani, and Agixx, among others, acclaimed music mogul, Don Jazzy, has unveiled Lifesize Teddy, his latest signee to his Mavin Record label.

A rapper, artist, and writer, the new signee is eclectic, talented, multi-dimensional, and utterly unpredictable. Born Treasure Apiafi Banigo, Lifesize Teddy is as inspired by the unconventional, as she is by the mundane.
On her debut eponymous EP, the Bonny Island indigene serves an impressionable and experimental blend of five songs, which testifies to her impressive range, artistic intelligence, and sonic talent. On the opener, Air, Teddy presents a breezy number that properly displays her bias for rap. While she will go on to explore several genres on the tape, Air presents Teddy the Rapper as a smooth, savvy, and undeniably gifted student of the game.
Hypnotic follows. A captivating, high-energy number that fuses pop and hip-hop svelty, Hypnotic tells a quick-fire tale of desire. The production and delivery burns bright and fast, like the song’s subject matter. Butterflies is the album’s third track, and perhaps its most commercially promising. It explores the relatable theme of young love- its eagerness and electricity. It explores the passion inherent in unbridled romance, done simply and with the heart.
The project’s closer is the self-affirming autobiography that is Prophecy. Here, the artist declares herself “a living prophecy.” A worthy curtain drawer, Prophecy is a sentimental closer and statement of intent as Lifesize Teddy begins her bid to take over the world.
