Born Adeyemi Adetona, Tillaman is a recording/performing artiste,producer, video director and the CEO of 166 FAMILY (a record label based in the UK which he started with his cousin, Dola Billz). Formerly based in the UK, Tillaman moved back to Nigeria early this year to further promote his musical career.

Tillaman and the 166 FAMILY put out a single called JEUN LO. The track was produced by him, it’s been a huge hit in the UK, and it is steadily gaining popularity in Nigeria.

His latest effort on TV and radio is titled TRYING and it also is gradually climbing the popularity ladder. Tillaman started music in Nigeria in 1999 releasing MEDUSA MAKOSSA (the first Makossa track by a Nigerian, this track opened the door to a flurry of numerous Makossa tracks from many other artistes till today) before moving to the UK.

He has worked with the likes of Don Jazzy, JJC Skillz, Dagrin, Sarz, T Frizzle; performed with the likes of Lloyd Banks, Mo’hits crew; produced for the likes of Bouqui, 166 family, Komoblastic amongst others. Below are some tracks off his promo CD ready for circulation! Now under the management of Enigma Entertainment Ltd, Tillaman’s album is scheduled to hit the market later this year.

Definitely an artist to watch out for. His production work has been impressive and so is his work!

Repping Big Tizzy!

The first time I heard his “Faaji” track, I instantly digged it! Fuji is my thing and to have it merged with Naija hip-hop just did it for me!

Listen to “Faaji”

Born Adefolarin Lawal, Big Tizzy is a full-time entertainer and disk jockey based in the United Kingdom whose love for music developed while listening to his father’s collection of classic Fuji tunes. There’s no doubt that this influenced his music greatly as he fuses Naija Hip-Hop with Fuji vocals.  Hence, one can expect his musical influences to range from Barrister, Haruna Ishola to  P.Diddy, Jay Z,  and Snoop Dogg.

With his target audience as everyone from the youth to the older folks, he regards himself as a hardworking, lively and honest individual that loves and has an excellent taste for the finest things in life. With two albums on the way: a solo album called “My Product” and a group project on the way called “Jeun Lo”, there’s no doubt that he has a lot of work ahead of him and we look forward to what he has to offer! Hopefully more hot jamz!! Collaborating with artists such as TillaMan, Dolla-Billz, High Commission and Topsay (a.k.a Omo Ibadan) on his solo album, he says fans should buy his album because they can expect to get the value for their money. The album, according to him, portrays him to the listeners as a young, gifted individual who is more than just his good looks.

In addition to being a solo artist, Big Tizzy is also a member of the group “166 Family” which includes Dolla-Billz, Aspanda, Martel B and TillaMan. The group album called “Jeun Lo” is currently in the works, and will be released soon in stores.
Currently, Big Tizzy is promoting the “Jeun Lo” album with his group and they plan to take the Nigerian music Industry by storm when they start touring Nigeria in the near future. Without a doubt, this is definitely one artist to look out for.

I REP Big Tizzy!
