TOBi & Mick Jenkins Bring Some Top-Tier Writing To The Table On “Forgot We Were Seeds”

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

TOBi and Mick Jenkins are easily some of the most underrated MCs in the game as we speak. Both are able to write some top-flight raps, all while bring their distinct personalities to every track they lay down. The Nigerian native and Alabama-bred artists are teaming for just the second time in their careers, but you can tell they have effortless chemistry regardless. Speaking of which, the last time they were on the same song happened in 2021 with “Off The Drugs.” These two are once again rekindling their relationship on lyrically-focused TOBi single called “Forgot We Were Seeds.”

The last time we spoke about TOBi was for his 2023 album PANIC. That ended a three-year drought in between projects. For 2024, he is already off to a fast start, featuring on two singles “For Anybody” and “Back For Me.” So, “Forgot We Were Seeds” is TOBI’s first solo release. Outside of Mick Jenkins bringing tons of firepower to this song, the extremely-talented Dahi, formerly DJ Dahi, is laying down a funky boom bap instrumental.

As we mentioned, this song is filled with slick bars from both TOBi and Mick. The chorus also is excellently written too, “They tried to bury us and forgot we were seeds… Stay down through the lowest,” TOBi sings. It’s a hot girl summer ’cause we had ’em all winter ah… / They hate the world woke ’cause they love when you sleep n****,” he raps on his verse. These are just a few of the gems sprinkled throughout the track, so be sure to listen for yourself above.

TOBi Comes Back After Three Years With New Album “PANIC”

October 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nigerian-born and Canada-raised, TOBi, is back with a brand new tape for his listeners. They have been clamoring for it and for good reason. It has been three years since the last full-length release from him. That last album was ELEMENTS Vol.1 and before that was his debut in 2019 with STILL. TOBi specializes in the hip-hop, rap, R&B, and soul genres. He does it all with a silky smooth voice on the mic. The anticipation for this latest tape, PANIC, began all the way back in September of last year.

The lead single was actually a song for the Netflix film, Do Revenge. It starred Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes and the movie and track came out on the same day. Following that, we would get seven more singles, so eight in total. Unfortunately, while the songs are well produced and performed with lots of charisma, the hype slowly trailed with nearly the entire album being put out little by little.

Listen To PANIC from TOBi

It is still a solid effort from TOBi, but there are only four new songs. Those are “Get Yours,” “Time Out,” “Protect You,” and “How Much Longer?” Fans should still enjoy this project given how diverse the sounds are and the messages in the songs. Check it out for yourself on either Apple Music or Spotify.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand new album from TOBi, PANIC? Is this the best project he has ever put out? Which songs are you enjoying the most so far?
