One rhythm seems to be leading the pack rather than following it in an era where sounds are repeated and trends change quickly.
Emerging artist Otriexx’s song “Toasted Beat,” which is tucked away in Nigeria’s expanding underground soundscape, has emerged as a subdued force that is establishing a new standard for what Afro-fusion music might sound like in the future.

“Toasted Beat” is more than simply a catchy song; it’s an attitude that was born out of a fusion of street rhythm and electronic confidence. On social media, young fans have referred to it as “the kind of track you don’t skip.” The beat has an energy that is both fresh and nostalgic, whether it is heard during lengthy journeys in Port Harcourt or at midnight jam sessions in Lagos.
It’s not the loud marketing that sets this sound apart, but rather the way it moves naturally.
It’s setting the tone even though there isn’t a big-label budget or a viral dance yet. “Toasted Beat” might have paved the way for other up-and-coming musicians.
What about Otriexx? It might mark the start of a highly authentic sound identity.
