The name 'Str8 Buttah' (pronounced Straight bawddah) is synonymous with a [Lagos] (Nigeria) based collective of six MCs - an amalgamation of Producers, crews and solo artistes that frequently interacted in the Lagos underground scene in the early 00’s, united by mutual respect, time-tested friendships and their undying love for hip-hop.Emergent in a period where the fundamental sound of the artform and its culture was said to be dwindling and fast eroding, the posse vaunted an intensely untainted sound reminiscent of the good old days with influences from Dj premier, J dilla, Peterock, Rakim, Nas, Common, Wu-tang, madvillain... just to name a few.

"We're not in this to prove some point, we're just here to make beautiful music that the true fans of the art love and we're doing it the best way we know how to do it, u know...exactly how it' ought to be, how it ought to sound..." - Deck the nexus
