Now Muzik’s Loos Kollectiv is out with Take Over

Loos Kollectiv, a hip hop ensemble on the label of Now Muzik, is set to take over the airwaves with its new single aptly titled Take Over.

Take Over is full of metaphors and wordplays. The well crafted hook of the J Sleek produced song is sure to excite fans of Hip Hop music in Nigeria. Hip Hop is a very competitive genre and with four rappers on one track the competition was fierce (although friendly), each rapper brought their own unique flow and delivery to the song.

Loos Kollectiv is a hip hop ensemble consisting of rappers, producers, writers, singers, poets, B-Boys and Deejays working directly or indirectly with Now Muzik in management, label or allied scenarios. On this track you have a lyrical onslaught from Jayce, PKD, Romeo and Butafly.

The Business Administration undergraduate of Yaba College of Technology’s love for music and entertainment has seen him go on to become a social director in his department, affording him opportunities to perform and win fans across campuses in Lagos.

Ever since wining 2011 Star Quest with his group, Crystals wherein they dropped their Elevated album a year later, Romeo (Romeo Ugwudike) has garnered enough recording and performance experiences to make pursue a solo career under Now Muzik. The energetic performer gave his all in this new single.

PKD (Perekeme Dubre) is a Warri born and bred rapper with a unique voice and style of rap which blends Warri Pidgin with English. PKD was an opening act in 2Face Idibia’s Campus Connect Tour, he appeared on the Million Voices For Peace song (Break The Silence) which also features 2Face Idibia, Sound Sultan, Rigtheousman, Jo El, Ferre Galo and Samini. PKD is also a writer and content creator.

 Lois Osuoha aka Butafly is a femcee with a vicious delivery, her debut mixtape Butafly Rap Trap (BRT) in which she featured MI, Terry Tha Rapman, Godwon and Koffi was released last year and enjoys massive airplay even as she is working on a new single.
