Jumanji Ya Hinex
By Ayo Onikoyi
Benin City-born artist Osagie Iredia Precious musically known as Jumanji Ya Hinex is carving a unique path in Nigeria’s Afro-fusion scene, blending traditional Edo sounds with reggae, dancehall, hip-hop soul, EDM, and 80s wave — all while keeping his cultural heritage front and centre.
In a recent interview with Potpourri, the emerging artist opened up about how his upbringing in Benin City shaped his musical identity. “Benin has a deep cultural history, strong traditions, and a unique energy that naturally influenced my music,” he said, citing local rhythms, street sounds, and storytelling traditions as foundational to his authentic sound.
