Tunji Ige Drops “I Just Wanna”

Rising Philly artist Tunji Ige comes through with something for the Dolce & Gabbana mamis with his new joint "I Just Wanna." Lustful and meant to be played after-hours, Ige rhymes over a deep, distorted 808-heavy instrumental and keep things sexy for his women listeners. On the second half of the track, the instrumental lightens and the sample clears up as co-producer Noah Fox (of The Social Experiment fame) provides a new flavor to close out the song.

Coming from Philly, Ige is used to seeing more gritty rappers like Freeway, Beanie Sigel and Meek Mill. As he told XXL in his interview for "The Break," the 20-year-old MC is focused on shedding light on the other side of rap and changing the perception of rappers from the City of Brotherly Love. "The ultimate goal is to make this the biggest platform possible and take over," he said. "As a Philly artist, we have such a negative connotation, because when we get to that platform we don’t know how to act. What I can do for this whole city is to show hip-hop in another light. Especially being an African-American male, people have such negativity towards us. People gravitate towards hip-hop as a representation of us, rather than other achievements we do as representation of us, so I’m trying to show hip-hop in a better light."

Ige hasn't dropped a full project since his 2014 debut The Love Project but closed out 2015 with a string of loosies that will hopefully get the ball rolling for a 2016 release.
