Experience the magnetic charm of 'Familiar,' T-Missin's latest Afro-pop hit.
Get ready to be swept off your feet by the latest release from T-Missin, a masterful blend of melodic, swanky, and seasoned Afro-pop, produced by CERTIBEATS and engineered by Nostra. 'Familiar' is an intoxicating experience as T-Missin takes on the role of a sweet talker whose tantalising words are hard to resist.
"This song means a lot to me because it brings me back to a different time. The line 'if you really love me you won’t care about the lies' is something I really said to a girl," T-Missin explains. His love interest, equally alluring with her luscious physique, shares a chemistry with him that's magnetic. "I was addicted to getting into trouble, and when I wrote this song, I was in big, big trouble. I made amends by buttering her up with smooth words, and the experience inspired me to write it down."
With 'Familiar,' T-Missin aims to create an experience that leaves listeners feeling free, mesmerised, and happy. He envisions his audience embracing the track's cheekiness and living in the moment. This song is a celebration of spontaneity and charm, inviting everyone to lose themselves in the moment.
T-Missin is a young and exciting rising talent originally from Ibadan, Nigeria, now hailing from Essex, England. Known for his versatility, he often infuses Afropop, U.K. rap, R&B, and, most recently, melodic drill into his music.
During his early life in Nigeria, T-Missin was surrounded by music. He grew up listening to Lauryn Hill, Fela Kuti, and Asa on repeat in the car, with Michael Jackson's music videos as a staple of his childhood. The early Afrobeats era, where Styl-plus and D'banj dominated the radio, alongside watching Jay-Z, Nelly, and Kanye West on MTV, significantly influenced his artistic sound.
In 2018, T-Missin released his first song, "2 Girls On My Line," produced by Lekka Beats, on Spotify. The track blew up, currently sitting at over 100K streams, and boosted his confidence. That same year, T-Missin appeared on C-Montana's mixtape "Rich & Paranoid," lending his vocals to "Millionaire."
In the following years, T-Missin released standout singles such as "Ami," "Spider-Man," and "Drip Don’t Lie," which have collectively accumulated 65K streams to date.
