His music reflects the everyday hustle and dreams of a city fleshed out in poignant and unfiltered narratives. Collaborating with peers like Zilla Oaks and Bnxn, Kakes ON is not confined to a singular genre, weaving elements of Afro-Fusion into his hip-hop framework to echo the diverse soundscape of Nigeria. For Kakes ON, music transcends mere entertainment—it's a powerful tool to navigate, express, and dissect the complex facets of life, resonating deeply within his community and beyond.
