Watch Nigerian boy band FOREVATIRED’s “Devil Fruit” video
The Lagos-based act’s new single will be featured on their forthcoming debut tape, THOSE KIDS NEXT DOOR.
In the summer of 2018, FOREVATIRED, a boy band formed in Nigeria's capital city, Abuja, released their demo titled, AT THE END OF SUMMER. The project was a perfect introduction to the three-member act's fresh take on hip-hop, joining playful sounds that one may not expect when pressing play. Since that introduction, the group relocated to Lagos, released another demo in 2019 (BEFORE YOU KILL US ALL) and a few singles to hold fans over.
Last week, they dropped their newest single with "Devil Fruit," which sounds like what may happen if Pi'erre Bourne took a trip to West Africa. The video is premiering today on The FADER and it features group members chilling at home smoking a few spliffs before heading out into a psychedelic landscape. The song will be featured on the group's forthcoming official debut mixtape THOSE KIDS NEXT DOOR, which is due out next week. In a press release, FOREVATIRED says that the tape chronicles the different emotions they've had and realizations they've come to while in quarantine. Watch the video above.
