From the vibrant streets of Nigeria to the cultural fusion of Baltimore, rising artist Watife is bringing a refreshing wave to the alté afrobeats scene. With a sound that blends hip-hop, soul, reggae, and his rich African heritage, Watife is crafting a musical experience that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant.
His journey began in childhood, where the dream of sharing his gift with the world took root. That dream is now in motion as Watife steps boldly into his artistry. Drawing inspiration from love, growth, and understanding, his lyrics strike a chord with listeners on an emotional level—while still delivering infectious rhythms for those who just want to dance.
Recent milestones include a standout feature with Ras Austin from Coast Contra on the track “Forgiveness” and a viral moment with his song “Maradona,” which lit up TikTok with fans showing love through dance. Fully independent and open to collaborations, Watife is ready to work with anyone bringing real energy to the table.
He stays grounded and motivated by his passion for art and the desire to elevate his family. Social media plays a key role in his grind, where he consistently drops content to connect with supporters and expand his reach.
Watife’s next single “Give Me My Money” featuring yaIda promises to be another bold step forward. And with his sights set on a distribution deal, he’s only just getting started.
