Nigerian artist Loti has returned with Gorimapa Gangsta, Vol. 2: Lotstar, a fearless and deeply personal EP that captures the raw essence of ambition, struggle, and survival in Lagos. Building on the success of Gorimapa Gangsta and viral hit “Mainland”, which sparked the #MainlandChallenge and racked up millions of interactions, this new project cements Loti’s reputation as one of the most compelling storytellers in African music today.
Across the EP, Loti blends sharp lyricism, vulnerable honesty, and an inventive sonic palette that moves seamlessly between afrobeats, trap, and alternative hip-hop. His words hit with urgency, confronting industry challenges, personal setbacks, and the weight of chasing success, while still carrying gratitude for his circle and hope for the future.
A standout moment comes with “Okirika” featuring rising star taves, where their chemistry elevates the project’s energy and underlines Loti’s collaborative spirit. Yet it’s the introspective cuts that showcase his gift for narrative, pulling listeners into his grind and resilience with a cinematic edge.
“This project covers many emotions,” Loti shares, and that range is exactly what makes Lotstar so impactful. The EP is a manifesto of persistence, proof that setbacks can be turned into fuel, and a reminder that dreams are worth fighting for.
