Kourage Beatz NSI explores a variety of genres, each with its distinctive characteristics. Despite his adherence to genre conventions, his music is frequently punctuated with surprises.

Nigerian musicians Cynthia Morgan and GoodGirl LA lend their voices to the first two tracks, “Filasurfa” and “IDT,” respectively, while American singer Ellen Haad collaborates on the final track, “Heartbreak,” alongside NSI RECORDS. Kourage’s dynamic transitions between genres may initially seem chaotic, but his straightforward, universal production and songwriting ensure the music remains engaging.
Whether in London, Lagos, or New York, Kourage Beatz NSI channels deep human emotions like heartache, isolation, and societal pressure, yet he refuses to be constrained by them. Instead, he takes listeners on a geographical and psychological journey, encouraging them to embrace the turbulence.Released under NSI Nation and distributed by Ditto Music, “King of New Age” is visually represented by a single flower on a red background, effectively capturing the essence of the album’s title.
