Nigerian newcomer Baby Smurk is making his statement heard with “AS HOW,” a gritty new single that pulses with the kind of authentic street energy that can’t be manufactured. The track serves as both introduction and declaration from an artist who’s ready to carve out his own lane in the Afro-fusion landscape.
Born Simon Magada in Burutu, Delta State, Baby Smurk’s sound is a direct product of his environment. His time moving between Port Harcourt and Warri infused his music with a distinct rawness—a blend of melodic Afro-fusion wrapped in the realities of street life. On “AS HOW,” he channels pain, loyalty, and survival into dark, melodic arrangements that hit different. The track’s already gaining traction on social media, with its quotable lyrics resonating with a generation navigating their own struggles and ambitions.
This release marks the opening chapter of Baby Smurk’s forthcoming “SAD BOYS” EP, a project expected to showcase his range as both storyteller and artist. But music is only part of the equation—Baby Smurk is building a complete cultural identity, merging fashion-forward visuals with youth-driven content that’s expanding his reach beyond just the music. For an artist just stepping into the spotlight, he’s moving with the confidence of someone who knows exactly where he’s headed.
