How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
Jesus, you are an incredible singer and did great work with your team, it touches my heart. I opened the rap genre from a new perspective....and your sister has a blowing mind voice and charisma ❤❤❤❤ The wife is always gorgeous, and looks like an angel, you are a lucky bustard😅😅 Greetings from a Ukrainian young woman who unwillingly lives in Poland to cover the living spendings of the family. I wish I was surrounded by such nice people as you are, but some of them have passed away....Admire your performance and the things you do
What's our main purpose as human? To be ... Simply, just to be. Tobe,Fatz, David,Nel,Luke... Salute and to all the musicians Salute! Music is healing to people like me.
Walking in the Spirit with purpose. The way this brother leans into Yahweh and connects with the hood invigorates my soul. "I'm not an icon. I'm a hyphen between Yah and the ghetto." -Tobe
Yahweh = Hebrew name for God. So he's saying while FAT (whom I'm fairly certain is his wife) may not have the baddest (bad meaning good) body of them all, she can call on God and get a response faster than the average (which is far more important...depending on how you living).
I'm 60 years old! This young man makes me feel like I'm in the 1960's again full of pride for my race/ This new generation is going to change the World!
I'm in my late 30s. I work with 2 young dudes whos favorite bands are Alice in Chains and Motley Crue. Point being that alot of younger people are finding influences from way older bands or artists. Im really impressed by it.
I thought I was the only one that thought like this. Those black shirts reppin being lint free to match the lyrical content lol. Even the shirt wants it's black melanin Poppin.
This the kinda rap music that makes you remember how great you are. I believe rap music should always have this positive effect on you. I believe that every bar should not only sound lit but should have a profound message. Love
Tobe well tell your Momma She got all 3!!! A DOCTOR to those minds who’ve been poisoned by that mumble rap. A LAWYER bringing sound arguments and truth to the rap game. And you’re re-ENGINEER-ing minds to see that lyricism isn’t dead.
This is Hip Hop.....progressive, expressive, poetic and jammin'. Hip Hop is a baby from Jazz so it should have always been a variation of this. Dope with uplifting thought provoking messages to grow the listener not mind fuck the babies into thinking it's cool to be a junkie and just blame it on your mental health and how depressed you are....while THEY collect checks from all the impressionable kids buying into their B.S. They scared to direct them to the Universe....to a higher power....to something that gave them naturally unique powers.....the secret is....we ALL have a super power....once you discover it....TRULY discover it....nothing stands in the way....but the devil is always working so that you don't have the time, energy, patience or confidence to discover who you really are....Hip Hop has to make being smart...cool to the kids...period...
The way his Queen, with their beautiful off spring nestled in her arms, gazes at her King communicates their Cosmic connection without a single word! What a band of beautiful Conscious Creators!
1. Lyrics on point. You can tell his flow is heavily influenced by Outkast. 2. She snapped on her verse. 3. Vocalists were smooth as silk and sweet as molasses. That is all ❤
“Don’t let them make you think your etiquette is a speech impediment”- Tobe Edit; Im glad that lyric resonated with so many others. Shows you Tobes impact 💜
I’ve followed this brotha and his wife for about a year or two. I love how he professes his love of God his wife and culture. I’m so glad the world is finally taking note. He spits straight knowledge and his crew is just as 🔥 🔥 🔥 🥰🥰🥰
Word about being glad the world is taking notice. I've been into them since like '16 and they just make me so inspired and hopeful. I tell everyone about Nwigwe. And I'm not one of these guys that will trash the rest of the hip hop scene, I love hip hop and I think we're in a golden era of the underground (even though a lot of the really popular stuff is garbage), but I really crave and yearn for more faith in this music (to be fair if you look for it you'll find lots of rappers love Christ, and allude to it in their music, but obviously in the big leagues it's not fashionable to be so open about that, and I hope more folks are inspired by Tobe to go against the grain and tap into that well - point is though it's a message that is alive and well whether it's obvious to us or not). And I gotta hand to you Americans - it seems only Americans are able to make giving glory to Christ really cool. Whether it's hip hop like this, Americana, alt country, folk, R&B, soul, gospel - us folks from the rest of the world are real thankful that Americans (mostly Americans from the south let's be honest) are out there giving us proper Christian music.
In the video for “A Million”, when Nell sings the chorus - one can tell she’s singing it from the first person. So much love for these beautiful souls. The highest human act is to inspire ☀️🏁
He definitely does look out for & show respect for his family & others above himself. Hes the leader of this "tribe," & hes always showing respect for or paying tribute to others who have inspired him as well, like Beyoncé or Dave Chappelle and "Miss" Badu, Andre 3000, and especially his amazing wife & his dope producer Nell too. He has become my #1 alltime favorite artist. He has a vision and a purpose and he uplifts everyone around him and everyone who will take the time to listen.
HalleluYah this brother is being used by the Almighty to resurrect a hope in the masses who have been misled by the mainstream artists for way too long. Speaking on subjects they refuse to address. His raw testimony of triumph truth and power is so necessary for these times we are in. Simply Immaculate 👑🙌🏽 HalleluYah 👑👑👑
That caged bird song....dang...that was more energy than one song should be able to supply , amazing... I'm not crying my eyes are just kinda sweaty today...
I watched(listened) to this everyday for almost 2 months before I was like hold up...and went to specifically see and I'm STILL shook. That's white boy SANGIN
I felt the same way. I only knew of the song Try Jesus, but I see now this dude is deep and his lyrics are life I feel them to the fullest. This is what the music screen has been missing
I’m brazilian, I don’t speak English very good, so I don’t understand the fast part... but I almost cry listening to this! This songs are amazing! Thank you for sharing this
When my daughter was determined to learn his name, find the family, and sing...I knew this was our chillax music. Oh, she's 5. the young ones know truth. Peace & Blessings.
Reading the comments of those now discovering Tobe makes my heart swell with joy and pride. Being able to watch the steady growth and progression of Tobe's movement is awe inspiring and heartwarming. I love everything about him from his writing, his flow, the way he loves and partners with his wife, his team, how much he reps his city, the video visuals and choreography. May the most high continue to direct his path and open more doors for him. The rap game needs Tobe Nwigwe!!!! What a breathe of fresh air. 😍

1mrgainey explain this bar to me boys.
Yahweh = Hebrew name for God. So he's saying while FAT (whom I'm fairly certain is his wife) may not have the baddest (bad meaning good) body of them all, she can call on God and get a response faster than the average (which is far more important...depending on how you living).

I felt this comment frfr.
Man. I miss seeing Tobe and Nell together.
Those backup singers ain't no backup material tho. They deserve an album of their own.
HonestComment The blessed thing is that they know their part and play it well for the bigger picture. If one succeeds, than they all succeed.
I think Tobe knows that. Which could be why he made sure to say their full artist names before each of them sung, to give them the proper exposure.
NELL does have an album on Spotify and other music
They all have their own projects

When my daughter was determined to learn his name, find the family, and sing...I knew this was our chillax music. Oh, she's 5. the young ones know truth. Peace & Blessings.

go check the crib performance... it's adorable even with the interruptions they're obviously awesome parents!
His kids so used to it, beautiful
Sweet lullabies.
Reading the comments of those now discovering Tobe makes my heart swell with joy and pride. Being able to watch the steady growth and progression of Tobe's movement is awe inspiring and heartwarming. I love everything about him from his writing, his flow, the way he loves and partners with his wife, his team, how much he reps his city, the video visuals and choreography. May the most high continue to direct his path and open more doors for him. The rap game needs Tobe Nwigwe!!!! What a breathe of fresh air. 😍
Michelle Stancil very well spoken
Amen to that.

Yes, his Queen is always present and I love that. The visual alone is stimulating 😁.
I love it and you can see how captivated she is by hearing him rap from his soul
Tobe is what the game has needed for a very long time.
Preach
Reminds me of Andre 3000 with his flow. So refreshing to hear. Everything connects like a LEGO.
Ayeee, I caught that bar you.
Bars
Funny enough I thought his voice sounded like Big Boi at times
Ceejay Films/Fanspine Pictures its def big boi over 3000
Eric Espinoza you flow too huh?
That Queen raw with her lyrics, beautiful
He is so dope. Something about him reminds me of Andre 3000.
Janetta Serano I was thinking the exact same thing!
The delivery
his flow for sure is heavily influenced by Andre
The color of his voice definitely sounds like Andre3000
