WHO IS BIG BANJU? THE QUESTION EVERYONE’SASKING, AND THE EP THAT ANSWERS IT
If you’ve been online lately, you’ve seen the name Big Banju. From a whispered question to a
can-not-ignore conversation,
Big Banju wasn’t handed the mic. He walked in loudly, uninvited, and made the room turn
around. Once a punchline, now a presence, he’s flipped the script with a rise that’s equal parts
hustle, heart, and humour. Hailing from Akwa Ibom, his journey hasn’t been polished; it’s been
lived. Every late night, every doubting glance, every moment people laughed before they
listened, that’s where this EP was born. “Who Is Big Banju” is a reintroduction, an answer in
eight songs.
The EP starts on its knees with “Bless Me”, a man asking for grace in a world that rarely gives
it freely. From there, Big Banju shifts gears with “Location”, a dance-driven banger laced with
Carter Efe’s iconic skit, turning viral energy into an uptempo record. Then comes “Lightly”, a
tender confession about love that doesn’t wound but heals. His voice softens, but the message
stays strong: “I was trying to prove my love to the wrong people… I learnt from that.” It’s
the sound of someone growing up in real time.
He brings Zlatan on “I’m In Love With You”, blending street-hop grit with romance, proof that
love can be loud and loyal at the same time. “S.B.U (Something Bout You)” captures the thrill
of obsession in the age of viral moments, while “Infinity” slows it down to celebrate connection.
Big Banju isn’t trying to be everyone’s favourite. He just wants to be heard. And with Who Is Big
Banju, he’s no longer asking to be seen; he’s making sure you can’t look away.
