Little is known about Andrew Kabo aka Dopestiks. He was born in the golden “brown rooftop” lands of Ibadan where he received primary and secondary education. With a passion for music production, he devoted his time to learning it via YouTube tutorials; mastering the skill, and making a profit off it. However, Dopestiks would soon transition into recording his vocals, showing off a different side of his musical personality, pushing him to the front end of mainstream media.
With his last released single Molly being mid-year 2023, multitalented musician Dopestiks gears up for the release of his sophomore EP. The project is rightly titled Anoda Dimension, a testament to Dopestiks’ much-improved artistry. Laced with six solid tracks (Intro included), Anoda Dimension focuses on two predominant aspects of the singer’s lifestyle—hustle and women. The first three tracks speak on the chase for excellence and acclaim while the concluding records serenade the beautiful women present in Dopestiks’ life. Pervaded with minimalist amorous and self-manifesting lyrics, Anoda Dimension is sure to transcend Dopestiks into the upper echelons of the music industry.
Anoda Dimension utilizes vibrant Afrobeats sounds, vocally and production-wise and is almost a one-man project, vocally, but for the last track where he seeks the collaborative effort of fellow fast-rising talents—Rybeena and Fola.
Production-wise, Jayscopebeatz on Manifest, StringsBeat on Dollar Sign and Honeywell, and Nuelbeatz on Genie all bring their A-game, as well as the sound engineers including JUSTPERERMYX across all tracks except the fourth track Honeywell which is mixed and mastered by Joe you trippin.
Despite employing the virtuoso services of three producers, Dopestiks still has his clinical glow on the production. Tracks 3 and 4 are co-produced by him while the last record has his imprint all over it.
March 8 is the fixed date for the release of the Anoda Dimension EP. As the anticipation builds, a song off the EP Genie drops on February 9 as a promotional single.
