In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to upcoming artist Rapstixz and his brand new album titled City Father.
From the vibrant soul of Ohafia, Abia State, a true original rises. Rapstixz, the genre-defying artist and founder of the Klatsch label, returns with his most impactful project to date: City Father. This bold, pulse-pounding Afrobeats album is more than a musical release—it’s a mission statement.
At the heart of City Father is a message of presence, responsibility, and love for one’s people. Inspired by his own nickname, Rapstixz positions himself as the protector, provider, and pulse of his community—a City Father in every sense of the word. The album’s lead single of the same name encapsulates this energy with irresistible rhythm, an unmistakable bounce, and a message that resonates: the City Father shows up for his people, always.
Written by Rapstixz himself, produced by the incredible Ohnorr, and engineered by the ever-sharp Bred Wellz, the lead single was born in a lightning strike of creativity—written, recorded, and mastered in under two hours. Its infectious drum patterns and shimmering synths reflect the urgency of its message and the clarity of Rapstixz’s vision. It’s an anthem for anyone who steps up for their city, their people, and their purpose.
Rapstixz’s story began with a dream at age 10, and over the last 13 years, he’s grown into an unstoppable force. Taking cues from icons like Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and The Weeknd, he blends global pop sensibilities with the distinct flavor of Afrobeats, crafting a sound that is universal, yet deeply rooted in his Nigerian heritage. As executive producer, Rapstixz personally oversees every detail—not just on his projects but for the entire Klatsch label family, including artists like Riki Billions, Nanpyal, Zite, Bony CDM, YTK, Ijak, Odet, and Elev8.
City Father isn’t just music—it’s a movement. A declaration that the throne belongs to those who serve, who create, who lift others up. And with this album, Rapstixz firmly cements himself not just as a sonic innovator, but as a leader for the next generation of Afrobeats.
Welcome to the city. The Father has arrived. Listen to the full project below:
