Toba Gold, a Biochemist turned artist, is one of the Naija talents I just discovered this summer. A jazz / neo-soul artist, Toba Gold brings forth an eclectic sound stemming from a mixture of English and Yoruba. His songs appeals to the matured minds, talking about material ranging from love to life. His album will be dropping in the last quarter of 2009 and this is definitely one to watch out for. He’s bound to take Naija music far and beyond with his smooth sound. He’s still fresh in my mind and I am sure he’s new to some of you reading this.
I REP TOBA GOLD!
Listen to a few of his songs! My all-time favorite is Jeje:

Thanks for your comment on the site! Per this site (http://www.beatsofafrica.com/index.php/site/Blog/interview_with_toba_gold_nigerian_jazz_neo_soul_artist/), it said your album had dropped last year. Similarly, your website (www.tobagold.com) seems to be down. If you have a new website, please let us know so that we can update your rep page.
I’ll make the correction. Please let me know if there’s anything else you’ll like changed. Thanks.
