From reading the comments, I see that a lot of fans have said that this official video is admittedly fire, but not nearly as super-duper-three-fire-emoji-worthy as an eight minute video of this song just jamming in the studio. So let's take a look there as well.
Dude's real name is Micah Davis, and he was originally born in Jamaica but lives in Virginia now. He found and decided on the moniker Masego after finding out his family had roots in South Africa, and that the word “Masego” means "blessings" in Setswana. The tunes are an interesting mash up jazz, hip hop, and R&B. His second most-streamed tune is a great beat under a good rap track. This is "Navajo," with 38.1 million streams.
One album - 2018's Lady Lady - that has the "tadow" song, and a few other pretty good rap-centered tracks. Then he does a lot of kind of mediocre R&B type stuff that is less interesting to me - the title track and "Queen Tings" are easy examples. He's got a 2016 EP called Loose Thoughts that is all over the place, and then another 2016 EP called the Pink Polo EP. I say they are all over the place, but that isn't necessarily bad. He keeps a consistent funkiness and groove in the tunes that is pretty fun, even if I normally wouldn't be aiming for an R&B jazz thing like "Too Much."
Depending on timing, sure I'd go check this out. Seems innovative and interesting enough that I'd like to see what it is like in person.
