Rapper Wazziba sets the stage with his upcoming single “Check-In.” Mixing Afro-pop with down-south rap, Wazziba brings his authentic sound to the scene and invites listeners to join the party.

Hailing from Monrovia, Liberia, Wazziba relocated to Decatur, Georgia, where he developed his passion for music in the Atlanta scene. Counting on influences from Jay-Z to Kendrick Lamar, the rapper developed his sound over the years, releasing three albums/EPs and additional singles.

As a teenager, Wazziba enjoyed going to showcases and performing. One day, Wazziba’s introduction to recording came to him serendipitously via a new friend.

“When I turned 18, my friend was already an artist, and he came to me in my barbershop. We became friends and started recording in the studio.”

According to Wazziba, “Check-In” is an anthem. The single stresses the importance of “checking in” wherever you go.

“You watch out for people and offer peace,” shares the artist. “Check in when you come to the city. Basically, if you go to the city like Los Angeles, you gotta call people you know so you can get protected. You can’t just go to people’s city and not check in.”

“Check-In” was created to be a club banger, an invitation to all to get on the dance floor.

“It’s a party song,” says Wazziba. “You can sing to it, party to it. It’s repetitive.”

Compared to his previous work, the single focuses on a new, 2024 sound.

The single came to light when Wazziba connected with a producer on social media. While he works with many producers, this one had just the right beat to bring “Check-In” to life.

After a two-year hiatus from recording, shares the artist, “At first, it wasn’t coming naturally.”

“But then I started brainstorming, and it started coming back. I got into the flow.” It was during this flow state that Wazziba was able to finish the single and take pride in his work—particularly the bridge, which is his favorite part of the song.

“I’m a great artist, like Picasso,” shares Wazziba. “I want the opportunity to get in and make a great contribution to the scene.”

Listeners, get ready for a whole new sound.
