It was last year
where I caught wind
of Naji, but it wasn't
until this year
that I truly started
to listen and digest.
Thanks largely
to my roommate Jaro.
While I've been
grooving to tracks like
“10 Cubed” and “Fallen”,
it wasn't until early July
that Naji released his debut
EP, The Optimist.

Made up of five songs,
the project
(that he fully produced)
is full of vocal layers
and guest appearances,
like on the posse cut
hit single “Olu's House”,
which comes complete
with a music video.
As a contrast,
the lead single is
“Do You”
is entirely solo Naji.
If you dig
the EP
and the music video,
be sure to check out
the live performance
of the EP below.
Music starts at 14 minutes in.
