RAISED A REBEL ft. TML VIBEZ

Born from the vibrant chaos of Nigeria's bustling cities—Osun's rhythmic calm, Abuja's structured pulse, and Lagos' electrifying hustle—TML Vibez is a true product of his environment. His music mirrors this diverse upbringing, weaving personal struggles, celebrations, and profound gratitude into street pop anthems. Tracks like "Shanu Mi" and "Intro" resonate not merely as melodies but as sonic autobiographies, unapologetically celebrating the streets that raised him.

 

Dubbed affectionately as the "Pawon Boy," TML Vibez effortlessly blends groovy street rhythms with distinctively raw, Apala-infused vocals. His sound encapsulates both defiance and thankfulness, reflecting the duality of his upbringing. Despite a turbulent start, gratitude is a recurring motif across his artistry. In interviews, TML consistently reiterates his appreciation for every hardship endured, viewing each struggle as essential to his creative authenticity.


Yet, TML Vibez isn't defined by music alone. His style, marked by an impeccable blend of streetwear and authenticity, underscores his rebellious spirit.

Before mainstream acclaim, TML proudly embraced fashion from humble beginnings, symbolized by his memorable lyric from "Intro": “My best cloth na from Katangwa, mm. Boy na superstar, I tell dem say ‘me sef go-go far’.” Today, he elevates local streetwear brands, showcasing their creativity while reinforcing his connection to his roots.

With his debut album, "Pawon Boy, Vol. 1," TML Vibez doesn't just enter the scene—he disrupts it. Inspired by pioneers such as Bella Shmurda, Olamide, and Zinoleesky, yet carving out a distinct identity, he boldly asserts his presence. Backed by Dapper Music, a label renowned for nurturing rebels, TML represents the new vanguard of Nigerian street pop, unafraid to challenge expectations and rewrite narratives.

TML Vibez exemplifies the very essence of being born a saint but raised a rebel. His journey from overlooked streets to celebrated stages, told through evocative beats, fearless style, and raw lyrical honesty, positions him not merely as an artist but as an emblem of self-made success. In a world hesitant to offer opportunities, TML Vibez crafted his own, transforming rebellion into rhythmic triumph.
