Onlyonemassive’s never stop: A gamechanger in Amapiano music

By Isaac Bukunmi

OnlyOneMassive has always been territorial since the beginning of his career, intentionally honing his art and expertise in both the DJ and music world. When he started DJing from the streets of Nigeria, heralding through the storms of performing at local shows and concerts, to the ever-chaotic clubs of Lagos and its environs, one would think the hurdles of hustling would pull him back. But to OnlyOneMassive, resilience and persistence are core qualities– that would later take him to the international stages of London and beyond.

In Never stop, OnlyOneMassive experiments with Amapiano and its sub genres, the likes of Afro Piano and Ojajiano, fusing the Amapiano beat with Afro and the traditional igbo instrument Ojà – respectively. In Never Stop, OnlyOneMassive succinctly blends amapiano, afrobeat and pop. The opening, a flute -like melody draws the listener in, arresting their attention till the very end – like the title suggests, made them to Never Stop listening. In Never Stop, he yet again proves his expertise in the act of DJing, playing with the keyboard and instruments, undoubtedly showcasing his expertise in the art of DJing.
