Music like Thutmose

Umar Ibrahim (born August 4, 1995), known better by his stage name Thutmose, is a Nigerian-American rapper, singer, and songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York.

Ibrahim grew up in a small city outside of Lagos, Nigeria. Shortly after the Lagos armoury explosion in 2002, at age 7, Ibrahim and his family moved to New York. Ibrahim went to Alfred State College for a year studying computer science, but dropped out to pursue music full-time.

Thutmose first gained attention in 2017 after releasing a freestyle to the Kendrick Lamar single "Humble".

On October 16, 2017, Thutmose released the single "WuWu" (short for "what's up with you?") through Pigeons and Planes. Speaking about the track, Ibrahim said, "Especially with dark times in the world, I hope this song serves as a reminder that there's still a lot of love in the world."
