Thutmose sounds like the exact midpoint between a high-speed chase and a late-night rooftop lounge. His music is defined by a restless, kinetic energy, often featuring rapid-fire flows that remain remarkably clear and melodic. There is a shimmering, digital polish to his production that feels inherently modern, blending the heavy low-end of trap with the bright, melodic sensibilities of global pop.
What truly sets him apart is his versatility. He can pivot from aggressive, technical verses to breezy, sun-soaked hooks without losing his identity. His Nigerian heritage occasionally peeks through in rhythmic choices and melodic inflections, adding a unique texture to his New York-based sound. It is music that feels expensive and cinematic, yet deeply personal in its lyrical focus on ambition and identity.
Start with 'Man on Fire' to hear his technical prowess at its peak, or dive into his contributions to the 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' soundtrack to understand his ability to craft massive, culturally resonant anthems. It is the perfect soundtrack for moments when you need to feel capable, fast, and undeniably cool.
Umar Ibrahim (born August 4, 1995), known better by his stage name Thutmose, is a Nigerian-American rapper, singer, and songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York.
