Who Is Taigenz?
Montreal-based hip-hop artist Taigenz effortlessly bridges the gap between his Cameroonian heritage and the North American urban landscape. Known for his sonic versatility, he moves fluidly through Trap, R&B, and Afro-beat genres. With a vocal tone often compared to a young 50 Cent and a lyrical approach resonating with artists like Wale and Burna Boy, Taigenz has carved out a unique space in the industry. His 2019 album Life Ain't Free, distributed by Slammin Media/Believe Distribution Services, achieved international acclaim with singles like “Lemme Ball” and “Speak The Truth,” garnering over 100,000 streams globally. Taigenz is a recipient of the “Best Infused Hip-Hop Song” at the Indie Grind Music Awards for his 2021 single “Foolish Money.” His latest EP, Life A Life, features the hit single “Pas Idée,” making its mark on SiriusXM's playlists.
