The music and entertainment scene in Nigeria is set for a blast as the hottest musical act in
town, Double K makes its debut. With a single Kumanatale, currently ruling the airwaves in
Lagos and beyond, this dynamic duo are no doubt, set to redefine the music scene especially
the hip hop, Afro pop and dance hall genre in the country. The group showed their stuff to
delighted guests at the Miss Gbagada 2014 Beauty Pageant held at the Quad T event centre,
Gbagada, Lagos Sunday September 21, where they thrilled and lit up the show to huge
applause.
Double K - coined from the first names of the two childhood friends that formed the group,
Kunle and Kola, is one group that is geared to wow music buffs in the country with their
immense talent, scintillating dance steps and good looks.
The talented twosome, both born on Lagos Island, developed a love of music at an early age,
with Kola, the other half of the group taking it to another level while in secondary school
when he teamed up with other like minded school mates who loved music. Then, a few years
ago, they began playing professionally and formed Double K.
Since then, their career has taken off, with the group performing in many shows within
Lagos. Recently, they featured at the grand opening of the Eclipse Lounge, Akoka Lagos.
Blessed with great song writing skills, the duo write and compose their own songs, noting
in a chat that, "music comes to us naturally. We don’t buy songs. We write what people care
about and want to hear. We write about love and relationships, but we also write inspirational
songs that deliver messages."
Their style of music includes Afro pop, R and B and dance hall, all elements that are evident
in their new hit single, Kumanatale. The single's video shot recently by ace director Clarence
Peters, and featuring the duo displaying their scintillating dance moves and 'swag' hit the
screens in mid August .
On the song, Kunle stated: "Well, it is a slang that we put together whose meaning we don’t
want to give out right now because there is a prize on it."
For the duo, their music is their priority for now and they are working extremely hard to
ensure they get to the top of their game soon. As Kunle stated on their dreams and aspirations
for the group: "Well, I hope Double K will be a household name in Nigeria and beyond. I
hope we would achieve a lot in the sense that we would be No.1 in Nigeria. I want our music
to be popular."
