Grammy-nominated artist Tobe Nwigwe has released a new 12-track album, “The Bridge,” which the label says explores identity, belonging and code-switching, presenting the ability to move between cultural worlds as a means of adaptation and survival. The project includes collaborations with Busta Rhymes, Sia, Labrinth, Scarface, Paul Wall, Jay Electronica, Adekunle Gold, Flavour, ODUMODUBLVCK, The Cavemen, and Nwigwe’s wife and creative partner, Fat Nwigwe.
The release coincides with the continuation of Nwigwe’s multi-year partnership with Reebok, known as Reebok x Chukwu, a footwear and apparel collaboration drawing on his Nigerian heritage, personal style and football background. According to the announcement, a new Tobe Nwigwe Reebok shoe is coming soon.
The album arrived alongside releases from several other acts distributed the same day, including Austin Snell, WD-HAN, The Audacity, Wyatt Lowe, and a collaboration between Stephen Kramer Glickman and Edwin McCain.
