Dissecting check it out“L.A.G Style” Volume 1, the first Alaba-distributed album

The year was 1994. There was not a lot happening for Hip-hop in Nigeria. But there was eLDee, there was Kaboom, and there was Freestyle. The trio began the movement that was to become our county’s Hip-hop.

Lanre 'eLDee' Dabiri and the Trybesmen (also known as Da Trybe) are credited with being the ones that created the modern Nigerian hip hop music culture. The three original members, known as Eldee, Kaboom and Freestyle, first met in 1994 in Lagos. Their first album, L.A.G Style Volume 1, was released in 1999 to positive reviews. Their hits included "Trybal Marks" and "Shake Bodi."
