Snowchild Edge delivers an invigorating one-two punch of Afrofusion with his stunning new EP No Wahala and its lead single Big Problem — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
An ambitious outing bursting with diasporic energy, soul-bearing lyrics, and global production, No Wahala marks a fearless new chapter for the Nigerian-Canadian artist. “This project means a lot to me, it’s a piece of home, a place I carry with me,” the Vancouver artist says. “It reminds me of where I come from and keeps me grounded, no matter how far I go.”
The EP features six songs, each channeling a different emotional and sonic landscape. From the slow-burning Bonnie & Clyde and the breezy escapism of Wine Down to the healing affirmation of Searching, the bouncy playfulness of Go and the futuristic energetic anthem that is Big Problem, the EP is a journey through hardship, joy, self-discovery, and cultural pride. Ultimately Snowchild Edge creates a world that he calls home.
The single Big Problem hits with urgency — a rhythmic eruption that’s equal parts swagger and soul, setting the tone for a project that confronts real-life stress with head-nodding, body-moving beats. The track balances vulnerability with vitality, inviting listeners to feel deeply and dance freely.
Behind the scenes, a formidable team brought No Wahala to life. Production credits include Hila Boi, Ramoon, Rellik Beats, MasonsPayback and Kira, while engineering duties were handled by Austin (Deus) Glabus-MacLeod and Teon Gibbs. The EP was mixed by Matt Di Pomponio and Austin Glabus-MacLeod, and mastered by Greg Mindorff.
Snowchild Edge also collaborated with a dynamic mix of co-writers, including Gibbs and Angel Akabuno, who also appears on the project. At the core of it all is Snowchild Edge, who penned the lyrics and helped steer the emotional narrative of the EP. Each contributor has brought a layer of intention, resulting in a record that feels both deeply personal and globally resonant.
Snowchild Edge’s musical foundation is rooted in Afrobeats and alt hip-hop, but his sound is far from predictable. By fusing traditional African rhythms with futuristic production and a storyteller’s sensitivity, he creates a space where listeners from all backgrounds can find something to hold on to.
