El Corizo also known as Sameer is a Nigerian born singer and songwriter who originally hails from Osula, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.
Corizo’s fast rise in the music industry has been a notable one, maybe because of his style of music but mostly for his talent though. His use of pidgin or broken english in expressing his thoughts and experiences through music is wonderful and also notable in Erigga. It can be said that he is the new Erigga in the music industry.
His brake into limelight came after the release of his song, “Run am for Us” featuring O Bad which to me (talk about what you think of the song).
Listen to “Run am for us”
Corizo has since released 3 Albums and EPs and several Singles.

Apart from his amazing pidgin style of music, Corizo is an amazing lyricist. I know by now you should have been able to attest to this. He also is fond of using instrumentals from his favourite tracks like Oh Lord by NF e.t.c
Money Na paper but still it’s hard to get
Life is a bitch can’t you see she’s playing hard to get
Then I had to step up in the game
Like I climb my ps
I got the ring hustle will you marry me yes
Corizo, Inside Life
This street is not friendly like essential dog e ash
The struggle be like scabies he they body they strash
Oh lord i come here with full force like rain wey thunder follow
Na your grace i take stand without you i for don fall oh
Oh lord my mama don try
Make she still ball nah
Nor be crime if she collect money from piken wey she still born nah
Corizo, Oh Lord
I wan fight poverty secure the bag like mortal combat lord you go
Tell me finish am
Corizo also has a storytelling song in his Chronicles of Corizo album titled Ena Sarz, Corizo is a versatile artist even with his Pidgin style of music.
