Overview

tooXclusive was launched in 2010 by editor-in-chief Tyler Duncan-Sotubo. Like any proper music site, they provide a complete package of music/video downloads, reviews, industry news, top 10 charts, interviews and other music related editorials. Over time since their foray into the music and entertainment blogosphere, they’ve succeeded in making way to owning a revered and frontline status from music lovers general entertainment practitioners.

tooXclusive in their over 6-year stint have become eponymously famed for stylized top 10 charts, music video downloads and editorial content patterned after industry happenstances. The top 10 chart is a countdown of Naija’s finest in the music industry spanning different categories from Producers to Next Rated Acts, Hottest Artistes, Banging Collaborations and many more like it. The chart is put together by the TX team after much research and careful deliberation. Each chart features 10 Nigerian music acts that have excelled in specific categories and met certain criterion within a given time frame. Raising the stakes in the game, tooXclusive embarked on issuing out editorial content that included spotlight profile of buzzing artistes, their materials (music and videos) to even critical reviews of albums, EPs and mixtapes released by these artistes. This feat has continued to drive a conversation between diehard fan parties who are staunch believers in the movement of the very many music celebrities that the industry has produced. Often times, tooXclusive has come under serious heat sometimes leading to spiteful backlashes for having shared a writer’s opinion in perspective on how these artistes enact their music propaganda.

Talking to Tyler Duncan Sotubo, CEO of tooXclusive he said… “The aim of tooxclusive from its inception has always been to be the biggest music distribution platform all over Africa and after a successful 4 years in Nigeria, we’re convinced that we can comfortably branch out, offering our foremost and indigenous brand to other African countries.”
