Nezi Momodu might represent for the Dallas Cowboys when it’s football season but she’s still good in my book. The Nigerian hip-hop artist doesn’t hold back with her tunes and goes pound for pound with her new The Pound EP.

Nezi Momodu’s The Pound EP really slaps

From the catchy hooks to the repeat-value you get from the new project, you can’t help but get lost in hard-hitting songs on the album.

Nezi Momodu stands out from the pack with her late 80's / 90's-infused melodies, hardcore messages and unique wordplay – earning her the title of “Wordplay Queen” and praise from the likes of icons like Missy Elliott and Snoop Dogg. The Nigeria-born, Dallas-based  musician, visual artist and writer recently dropped The Pound – her new project released via Repost, SoundCloud’s artist services division. She will also take the stage this Saturday, August 20th at Dallas' The Echo Lounge for a record release performance on, following her recent performance of her collab with Logic, “Introducing Nezi (ft. Nezi Momodu),” at the August 7th Dallas stop of his Vinyl Verse Tour.

“The Pound is my love story to Dallas and to the community that holds so many different voices and perspectives,” notes Nezi. “I wanted to have fun creating different styles and themes and just let loose on this project.” Listen to The Poundnow via SoundCloud and all other DSPs here: https://ffm.to/thepoundep.

The Pound gets its title from the white hot music scene in Dallas right now with an overflow of incredibly talented musicians – and how every artist is waiting for the big break to come, hoping to get plucked from “the pound” for the big league. The EP will feature 10 tracks including previous singles “N.E.Z.” – a track whose video is a take on classic hip hop videos from the likes of Missy Elliott and Lil Kim, and is dedicated “In honor of the women who never stopped reminding girls like me that talent was enough”; “The Pound” featuring fellow Nigerian rapper D-Truce; and “On Gawd” whose video take you back to late-2000s Dallas dance culture and is a love letter to Dallas jigging culture
