Wameyo's debut EP, Nilotic attempted to reclaim, fixed and uproot the worlds evil through learning, frustration and sadness in music. It included appraised singles including Riving Nile and the eponymous Nilotic. The EP saw her utilise her brand of fusion gospel and traditional sounds to create a forceful lesson in hip-hop and R&B. She'll be delivering the full Nilotic story for the first time with a full live band across the announced tour.
