Nigerian-born artist TAR is quickly carving out a space in the music scene with his raw, unfiltered storytelling and a sound that bridges Afro-fusion with trap energy. From the very beginning, TAR’s music has reflected a deep connection to his personal journey, drawing from the realities of his upbringing, heartbreak, and the pursuit of purpose.
A Bold Start with “GO”
TAR made his striking debut in December 2024 with “GO”, a trap-infused single that served as a vivid reflection of his neighborhood and inner battles. The track resonated with listeners for its gritty honesty and unrelenting energy, establishing him as a powerful new voice unafraid to bare his truth.
“Not Lost” The Resilient Follow-Up
Building on the momentum, TAR returned in February 2025 with “Not Lost,” a bold and introspective piece that dives even deeper. Fusing haunting melodies with hard-hitting lyrics, TAR lays bare the emotional weight of detachment, heartbreak, and the sacrifices that come with chasing success. “Not Lost” is more than just a song, it’s a declaration of discipline, resilience, and focus in a world full of noise and distraction.
“Ready or Not” A Defining Moment
On June 13, 2025, TAR took his artistic evolution a step further with the release of his debut EP, “Ready or Not.” The 6-track project is, in his own words, “a journey through my life’s struggles and triumphs.” From gritty hood tales to moments of clarity and hope, the EP chronicles his evolution both as a person and an artist.
“From hood stories to overcoming odds. It’s a story of resilience, growth, and staying true to myself,” TAR shares.
Ready or Not cements TAR’s signature style: gritty, real, and unapologetically authentic. With each track, he invites listeners into his world, a space shaped by pain, perseverance, and unshakable ambition.
In a musical landscape often saturated with surface-level hits, TAR stands out for his commitment to substance. Ready or Not isn’t just an EP, it’s a statement. A bold introduction to an artist who’s just getting started, yet already showing the depth, grit, and honesty that legends are made of.
Keep an eye on TAR, because whether the world is ready or not, he’s here to stay.
