The track, which also features DJ Kenny and Karl Williams, showcases Magnito’s distinctive rap style complemented by Ice Prince’s dynamic flow. Produced by WizzyPro and Juwhiz, “GOAT” blends sharp rap verses with melodic elements brought in by Karl Williams, creating a fresh and engaging hip-hop record.
Magnito, whose real name is Mohammed Usman, first gained prominence with his hit single “If I Get Money Eehn.” Originally from the Idoma Tribe of Benue State, Nigeria, he was born and raised in Abuja. His debut hit, “Medicine Girl,” was released in 2010, and the success of “If I Get Money Eehn,” including its remix with Patoranking, further solidified his place in the Nigerian music scene.
The rapper’s first music video, “Wake,” was shot in Johannesburg, South Africa, and he has since recorded over 80 songs. Magnito has collaborated with several notable artists, including Falz, Don Jazzy, Yung6ix, Larry Gaaga, Patoranking, Phyno, and Duncan Mighty.
Magnito’s ability to maintain and enhance the appeal of rap in Nigeria mirrors the success of other influential rappers like MI Abaga and Ice Prince. With “GOAT,” Magnito reaffirms his position in the Nigerian rap industry, demonstrating that the genre remains vibrant and relevant in the country’s music scene.
