GRAMMY Award-nominated global music rising star TERRI drops highly anticipated sophomore EP ‘In Transit’

In Transit

With his recently released EP lead single ‘Danger’ garnered over three million plays online in just a few weeks, while also receiving rave reviews and critical acclaim from the likes of Notion Magazine, Earmilk, Noctis Magazine, BBC Radio London, OkayAfrica, No Signal Radio, and Reprezent Radio, among others, GRAMMY Award-nominated global music rising star TERRI is excited to unveil his long-awaited and highly anticipated sophomore EP In Transit via ONErpm.

The new EP In Transit comes on the back of a very eventful past 12 months for Terri, which saw the Nigerian artist and songwriter receive his first-ever Grammy Award nomination for his contributions to the Wizkid album ‘Made In Lagos’, while also collaborating with Grammy Award-winning producer and one-third of Major Lazer, Walshy Fire, as well as working with Ghanaian culture icon Smallgod, among other achievements, despite not releasing a solo single since 2020’s smash hit track ‘Come Around’.

Written and composed by Terri, in collaboration with some of Nigeria’s finest new producers including Krizbeatz (Popcaan, Mr. Eazi, Davido) and P.Priime (Wizkid, Fireboy DML, Asa), and a guest appearance from Mugeez, one-half of BET Award-nominated Ghanaian duo R2Bees, his In Transit EP is a glorious Afropop and R&B fusion triumph, rich in musicality and lyricism, which sees Terri in his element as he takes the listener on a captivating journey of love and romance.

Terri burst onto the afrobeats scene when he was only a teenager, becoming the only artist to be signed by Wizkid to his Starboy Records imprint. He also collaborated with Wizkid on the certified gold-selling hit single ‘Soco’, and later released his critically acclaimed debut EP Afro Series in 2020, garnering over 50 million streams, and international support from BBC Radio 1, KISS FM, BBC 1Xtra, Capital Xtra, Apple Music 1 and Okayafrica, among others, along the way. The fast-rising afrobeat is ready to usher in a new era with his brand new EP, In Transit.

Not every collaboration turns out well in the world of online personalities and music stars. Playboi Carti recently shared his thoughts during a call on Kai Cenat’s livestream, discussing his previous experience with Adin Ross. Carti revealed that a 2023 stream with Ross didn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped, noting that their energies didn’t match. He candidly said, “I ain’t like that Adin Ross stuff, bro,” clarifying that their styles hadn’t aligned during the stream. Although he insisted that he didn’t harbor any bad feelings toward Adin, he also stressed that their interaction felt awkward.

Carti said it wasn’t about Ross’s entertainment value or lack of excitement; it was simply a case of them not clicking. He said, “Honestly, he’s just not my type of n**a. So it’s gon’ be awkward, you feel me? And it’s cool. Everybody ain’t… You feel me?” His remarks quickly sparked discussions online, with fans debating whether Carti was being fair or too dismissive. DJ Akademiks stepped in to support Adin Ross, emphasizing that just because two personalities don’t hit it off well doesn’t mean one is to blame.

Ultimately, Playboi Carti’s comments weren’t meant to hurt anyone, but they did spark a larger conversation about how internet personalities engage with popular artists. Whether Carti and Adin Ross will work together again remains to be seen, Akademiks isn’t shy about standing up for streamers in the hip-hop world.

While co-hosts Ice and Emanny thought Schulz’s humor was fair game, Joe Budden strongly disagreed, labeling the comedian’s comments as tasteless and unacceptable. The conversation began with Schulz’s jokes coming into the spotlight. Ice and Emanny defended Schulz by arguing that he makes fun of everyone equally and doesn’t hold back when it comes to any ethnicity or celebrity.
