Hip Hop has been known for always introducing us to something knew what the streets would call a ‘best kept secret’. In more ways than one he fits the tag ‘The Future’ from his skull crushing hypnotizing flow which is reminiscent of the late 80’s and early 90’s mixed with the complex lyrics of an underground rapper and a vocabulary which excludes offensive verbal slander,TamaraKoro comes across as a breath of fresh air taking on positive topics and doing them justice amidst all the negativity in the genre he chooses to call home. Born as Tamarakoro Ogedegbe to a simple middle class Nigerian family in Lagos, Nigeria and a mother who had been waiting on God for a couple of years for a child it is no surprise that from the moment you hear him you know he is special (after all the meaning of his name Tamarakoro is power of God). TamaraKoro has always possessed a passion for music growing up listening to gospel tunes and reggae acts like Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff then Nigeria artists such as Fela Kuti and Lagbaja, it is no surprise that at his tender age of 18 he possesses the ability to talk about social and ethical issues the way you would expect a veteran of the trade to do so. Standing at 6 feet 6 inches TamaraKoroI believe is out to show the world that not only does he tower in height above most of his peers but also in his rapping skills and abilities. ’.
