The producer of Nigerian origin is known for having collaborated with many famous artists, such as the American-Ghanaian Amaarae, the Brit Boj as well as Nigerians AYL\u00d8, Prettyboy D-O, PsychoYP and Odunsi. He defines himself as part of the alt\u00e9 movement, an alternative musical genre that increasingly influences the West African youth. He defines it as follows: &#8220;<em>Alt\u00e9 is a mixture of influences. We grew up in Nigeria, so we already have the Nigerian aesthetic and culture in us, but through exposure or experience, other influences permeate what we do<\/em>.&#8221; He adds: &#8220;<em>People have been listening to hip-hop their whole lives, and then the Alt\u00e9 scene shows them another way to do hip-hop.<\/em>&#8221;   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Tumble\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qDBws7bh4PU?feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Yinoluu &amp; Riverays &#8211; Tumble<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The producer for Odunsi\u2019s &#8220;Alt\u00e9 Cruise&#8221; continues his exploration of alt\u00e9 on the groovy <em>Petal Scent<\/em> EP in collaboration with Riverays, a Ukraine-based Nigerian alternative R&amp;B duo made up of Iver Rivers and Ray Boffin. Inspired by all the arts \u2013 from photography to cinema to architecture \u2013 they play with the codes of Afropop, hip hop and R&amp;B. Yinoluu states: &#8220;<em>You always have to stay true to yourself and do what you want to do. Yes, it can cut you off from some people, but it can also inspire others: somewhere there&#8217;s probably a kid who wants to make music and is a little scared because what he wants to create is different. And you are there, showing him that it is possible! One good thing about the digital age is that if what you&#8217;re doing doesn&#8217;t resonate where you are, it can always get attention elsewhere.<\/em>&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Petal Scent<\/em> will be released on April 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to Yinoluu and Riverays in our One Dance playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/5fzbLUbqLiEvriBPMlLNbf?si=-0mH0IkjTN6PQ-2ZGmXuCg\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deezer.com\/fr\/playlist\/2316095842\">Deezer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"551\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dfdcb56a-petal-scent.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dfdcb56a-petal-scent.png 551w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dfdcb56a-petal-scent-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dfdcb56a-petal-scent-465x465.png 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dfdcb56a-petal-scent-375x375.png 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dfdcb56a-petal-scent-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dfdcb56a-petal-scent-85x85.png 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/dfdcb56a-petal-scent-73x73.png 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the crossroads between several genres, the forerunners of the alt\u00e9 scene have released &#8220;Tumble&#8221; as a single.
