Nigerian producer and Apex Village member, Marv OTM did a collaborative effort with long-time producer Malik Bawa to release a 5-track project on May 15, 2020.
‘Way Up North’, which serves as a teaser for Marv OTM’s full length project ‘NORTHPOLE’ is still work in progress and is expected to drop soon shows Marv OTMs undeniable vocal abilities, clever pen and portrays Malik Bawa’s wide range of trap melodies.
Way Up North is an impressive trap project brimming with memorable melodies and beats, Marv OTM’s impressive technique and delivery, but with very bland lyricism.
Nonetheless, lyricism is not a requirement of trap music. Marv OTM did what he is traditionally required to do as a trapper and that is trap out as the cross between Young Thug and Travis Scott.
Marv OTM is a Nigerian Hip Hop sensation best known for his works GULLY, has also featured Zilla Oaks, AYLO& Lord
Isaac on this project.
With this joint effort, it’s clear Marv OTM & Malik Bawa are an artist-producer duo to reckon
The first track is ‘Tyra Banks’ and it’s a dedication to a woman with a model-like figure.
The song is then a tribute to one of the first sets of successful black models, Tyra Banks. ‘Jet Ski’ is another trap bop with undulating drums. It likens the drug-infested haze to an experience on a jet ski. Fellow Apex Villager, Zilla Oaks also came through.
