FIRST DISTRICT is the glorious debut EP from emerging British Nigerian artist and producer STYLLERSUPREME, marking the long-awaited arrival of a remarkable new voice in afrofusion and global music. Arriving 18 months after his breakthrough single ‘Love On You’, which was championed by tastemakers like MTV Base, Earmilk, KAZI Magazine, and The NATIVE, the First District EP sees StyllerSupreme returning to Lagos, where he was born, to create this three-track offering. Rooted in pure unfiltered vibes, and crafted with producer Pjay (Olamide, Baddy Oosha), and audio engineer IndoMix (Wyclef Jean, Davido), the project captures the rush of romantic obsession through the lens of a self-assured lover boy – it is introspective, infectious, and emotionally honest.
Whether it’s the traditional bounce and instant chemistry of the EP’s opener ‘Feeling’, the irresistible amapiano groove of ‘Party Jollof’, or the dreamy, emotionally vulnerable curtain call ‘Trance’, First District is a captivating journey through early connection, desire, romance, and the magnetic pull of possibility in a new relationship. Styller’s soft yet commanding delivery and his uniquely resonant songwriting bring each track to life, drawing listeners into stories that feel personal and universal all at once. Beyond the music, First District is a statement of resilience for the British Nigerian riser. After stepping away from releasing music due to health struggles and personal setbacks, this EP marks more than just a creative return for StyllerSupreme, it’s a celebration of healing and determination.
StyllerSupreme comes highly recommended if you like the sounds of Fireboy DML, Burna Boy, or Rema, and crafts a dynamic fusion blend of afrobeats, R&B, and hip-hop with edgy pop sensibilities. As he releases his new EP, Styller is not only reintroducing himself to the world, but also setting the tone for the rest of 2025, with more singles dropping in the summer, and a follow-up EP already in the works for the autumn. First District is just the first chapter of a story that’s only beginning to unfold. As he puts it, “this EP hits differently for me. It’s not just about the songs – it’s about finally embracing the chance to do what I love again consistently. I’ve had to take the long way round to get to this point due to heath challenges and personal issues, but just being able to release music again means a lot to me”.
MORE ABOUT STYLLERSUPREME
StyllerSupreme is a rising South London singer, songwriter, and producer whose music is rooted in his Nigerian and Brazilian heritage and shaped by a global sensibility. Fusing afrobeats, R&B, hip-hop, and pop into a smooth and distinctive afrofusion sound, he brings a quiet intensity to everything he creates – letting the emotion and rhythm speak louder than words. Styller stays deeply rooted in his heritage, while channelling global influences to craft a uniquely captivating sound. Born in Nigeria and raised in the UK, Styller began writing music at 13, inspired by artists like Fela Kuti, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, and Jay-Z. Unable to afford studio time or production early on, he taught himself to mix, master, and produce his own tracks, building a truly independent creative identity from the ground up.
Often described as laid-back but deeply intentional, StyllerSupreme brings vulnerability, groove, and emotive richness to his music, and comes highly recommended if you like the sounds of Fireboy DML, PartyNextDoor, Burna Boy, or Rema. Having first burst onto the scene in 2023, his new EP First District marks a major milestone: a return to releasing music after a personal hiatus for health reasons, and the official start of a new chapter. The project reintroduces Styller as an artist committed to consistency, authenticity, and impassioned resonance. With more singles and another project already on the horizon before the end of 2025, StyllerSupreme steps back into the current music landscape with the conviction of an artist who knows exactly who he is – and where he’s headed.
