Small Doctor

Born Adekunle Temitope on May 27, 1996, in Lagos, the energetic performer and recording artist popularly known as Small Doctor remains one of the defining figures of modern Nigerian street-hop. Affectionately dubbed “Omo Iya Teacher,” Small Doctor built his reputation on high-tempo, raw street anthems that blend vibrant Fuji percussions with contemporary Afropop elements. Seamlessly weaving lyrics across Yoruba, Pidgin English, and English, his breakthrough moment reached massive proportions with the release of “Penalty”. The smash single earned critical acclaim and nationwide dominance, culminating in the prestigious “Best Street Hop” award at The Headies 2018.
