11 LIT3S formed in Nigeria around 2013 with three members: Akintunde Hassan (Tunde), Olamide Balogun (Ola), and Olumide Akinmoye (Omo). Their song "Omo Dahun Now" caught on quickly that year, becoming one of those tracks people kept playing. It's listed as their top song in the catalog.
They put out a few more singles over the next few years, like "Hey Mama" in 2014 and "My Bebe" in 2015. The band ran into some legal trouble over song ownership in 2015, which was a rough patch but didn't stop them from releasing "Shake Up" in 2016 and "I Can't Wait" in 2017.
Tunde handled lead vocals and songwriting, Ola played guitar and sang backup, and Omo was on drums and production. Their sound mixed Afro-pop with some R&B touches, though the catalog doesn't go deep into influences. They were part of that wave of Nigerian groups in the early 2010s that leaned into catchy, melodic tunes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
