Nigerian singer, Crown Uzama, also known as Shallipopi, acknowledges that he is not a “perfect musician.” He admits he isn’t flawless in singing or songwriting but brings vibes and ‘street lingual’ to his music. Shallipopi explains that this is why he signed artists who excel beyond him to his newly-established record label, Plutomania Records. On the Zero Conditions podcast, he emphasizes his preference for artists who surpass him in singing ability, as he sees himself as more of a “vibe artist” who incorporates street language into his music. Shallipopi characterizes himself as a talker rather than a rapper, stating that talking is his genre of music.
