about

"Over skittering and fractured beats calling to mind artists ranging from Body Meat to Animal Collective while maintaining the uniqueness of either artist, “Munstar” confronts the topics of creativity and self-worth over its turbulent three minutes." -- FLOOD Magazine

~

Ehiorobo’s chameleonic, expansive sound traverses the space between experimental R&B, rap, and noise punk. Equal parts soulful, poignant and zany, his output is as multifaceted as his unique personality and upbringing.

Though often mistaken for a ‘futuristic producer moniker’, Ehiorobo is short for Ehiorobo Igiehon, a name that reflects his Nigerian heritage. Growing up in New Jersey, he remembers being perplexed by how dissimilar he felt he was compared to the concept of the black male that was often touted and celebrated in popular media.

Making a conscious choice to embrace his eccentricities, Ehiorobo immersed himself in the world of video games and internet culture, making a sizable impact in a short amount of time, collaborating with artists such as Flamingosis, omniboi and Moon Bounce and releasing an intimate collection of songs on his debut LP, Limeade.

Whether he’s glued to YouTube watching arm wrestling competitions or burning sage and plotting his next moves, Ehiorobo’s unconventional art and effervescent spirit is indicative of his desire to leap outside of any comfort zones and continue moving forward. Describing himself as “dangerously hopeful”, it’s no wonder why so many are drawn to his boundary-pushing and rapidly growing discography.

After a year that has taken its toll, Ehiorobo is making his triumphant return with three new standalone singles (“Jay Ventura”, “Bloodsports” and “Munstar”) and an ambitious full-length project, Joltjacket. With the intent to “make others feel at home within themselves”, Ehiorobo’s new material emanates a vital source of energy, solace and adventure that serves as a reminder to us all — we can be more than one thing at once.

lyrics

Cut it open, let it bleed
I was busy overseas
You know (how it goes)
Just cut it open, let it bleed
I was busy overseas
Yea, you know
Wait, what--- AH

Ah, ah

(What the fuck dog)

Thought I was joking
It's a lotta wounds fucking up my focus like (yeah)
Never let a wound fuck over my focus like (ugh)

Wanna shout like
Every dead young nigga in your spotlight
Going crazy (ooh, you know)
Eating apples off ya, but I hardly knew you first
Don't let this tackle your self-worth
(Don't let this, don't let this, don't) Die

Donuts all over windy roads
All black like I'm a rogue
I'll go back to where I belong
We'll put this in the dirt
I'm talking like it's analog
Well, tell me does it hurt?
Tell me do it Do it Does it Well does it Tell me do it Yo
AH

Thought I was joking
It's a lotta wounds fucking up my focus like (yeah)
Never let a wound fuck over my focus like (ugh)

Yeah
You could tell em all you want, dog
Your phones bustlin' like updog
I threw my shit away last winter baby, this spring?
I'm raking the cheese like munstar

Said you want a boss
I think they want a boss, man
Ay, ay, ay, ay

(x2)
I don't need my two feet on the floor
I could float
When something goes wrong
Aaah

Donuts all over windy roads
All black like I'm a rogue
I'll go back to where I belong
We'll put this in the dirt
I'm talking like it's analog
Well, tell me does it hurt?
Tell me do it
Do it
Does it
Well does it
Tell me do it
Yo, wait
AH
