About Doggext:
Jamiu Bolarinwa also known as Doggext is a Nigerian hip-hop artist based in Boston, Massachusetts.

He is currently in the studio working with different artists from the United Kingdom, United States and also Nigeria. He has featured on over 15 mixtapes and but he became prominent when he release his ‘Omo Mushin Mixtape’ in 2010 featuring DJ Kobe.
His lyrics are grounded in his perception of life, his milieu, and his jokes. He is often comical but never fails to drive his point home. Also, the manner in which he uses American English with Yoruba (one of the main languages in Nigeria) keeps his flow diverse and his audience entertained.
