The Journey Through Welcome to the Pack

  3. "HOLD YA" - This track shifts the tempo with an Amapiano groove, inviting listeners to celebrate life’s euphoric moments. “HOLD YA” stands out as a dancefloor favorite, seamlessly blending pulsating beats with Alpha P’s unique voice.
  4. "4AM" - Closing the EP, “4AM” captures the reflective stillness of the early morning hours. Alpha P’s soothing delivery and contemplative lyrics guide listeners through late-night thoughts, providing a fitting conclusion to the EP’s emotional journey.

The Artist Behind the Music

Princewill Emmanuel, better known as Alpha P, is a striking blend of raw talent and artistic maturity. Born in Benin City, Edo State, Alpha P discovered his passion for music in the vibrant atmosphere of a Christ Embassy church, where he began crafting gospel-inspired lyrics as a child.
Alpha P’s journey to stardom is a testament to his relentless drive. At just 17, he was carving out a unique space in the Nigerian music scene, and his signing with Phyno's Penthauze Music solidified his place among the industry’s brightest talents.

Musical Style and Influences

Alpha P’s sound is a dynamic fusion of global and local influences. Drawing inspiration from J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and PartyNextDoor, as well as Nigerian legends like M.I., he crafts a sound deeply rooted in Afrobeats while pushing the genre’s boundaries.
His debut EP, King of the Wolves (2019), introduced his eclectic style, and his sophomore project, Wolves & Mustang Vol. 1 (2020), continued to showcase his growth. Collaborations, such as DJ Tunez’s “Majo” featuring Wizkid and Tay Iwar, further cemented his versatility and appeal.

Expanding Horizons in Eastern Africa

With the release of Welcome to the Pack, Alpha P is poised to take his artistry to new heights. His upcoming tour in Eastern Africa represents a significant step in expanding his reach. The tour will include live performances, fan interactions, and collaborations with local creatives, further solidifying his presence in the region.

Looking Ahead

Alpha P’s journey is one of constant evolution. As he continues to push the boundaries of Afrobeats, Welcome to the Pack is set to be a defining moment in his career. Fans eagerly anticipate the stories he will tell, the barriers he will break, and the legacy he will create.
In Alpha P’s own words, “The pack moves together, stronger with every step.” As he welcomes us into his world, the future of Afrobeats looks brighter than ever.
