New music from itsENJ

Los Angeles-based itsENJ, also known as The Dappa Duo, is formed by two Nigerian-American brothers Chimdi and OTITO, raised between Enugu and New York City. The singer-songwriter producers combine as itsENJ to create their own blend of Afrofusion pop that captures a global sound of the African diaspora with an American twist.

Having always been passionate about music, the brothers were first influenced by hip hop and a range of different cultures such as African, Caribbean and Hispanic. With their own artistic pursuit, they cultivate a fully original identity that fuses fashion with their striking sonic output.

Making their introduction in 2017 they linked up with Oga Silachi and Shi’naz on their debut single “Celine’s Song”, leading up to their breakout hit “PFI (Pray For It)” two years later. Launched to new heights with their debut EP with 2020’s Born On The Moon, they’ve won over fans and tastemakers alike and racked up millions of streams of their music along the way.

Now, following the success of their first EP, they return this year with the latest work and bring us their new single titled “Doctor”. Collaborating with featured artist P Saint, on their new track they spin an Afrobeat hit full of vibrant melodic writing and a danceable beat.

Inspired by real events, “Doctor” captures the sense of turbulence they’ve experienced as they packed up and left everything they knew in New York and headed out west to Los Angeles. Full of memorable lines and a playful instrumental arrangement, “Doctor” sees itsENJ hit new highs with a stunning new single that demonstrates their sonic talents.
