Chicago Singer/Actor Rotimi Akinosho with an East Coast Swag had a minute to talk with Urban Insider

After a brief IM I finally got Rotimi to do this little chop session, Rotimi is his birthname from Nigeria which means""God stand by me". Rotimi is originally from New Jersey, but has since relocated to Chicago's very esteemed Northwestern University. Rotimi first got his start in the music industry at the World Famous Apollo Theater at the age of 15, an experience he says changed his life. He draws his musical inspiration from such artist as:Jamie Foxx, Lauryn Hill, Trey songz and T-pain for his creativity.

Rotimi on Collabos
"I've been fortunate to do a feature with Dawn Richard

from Danity Knane/Dirty Money. But if i could pick one artist to collab with, it would have to be Drake or J.cole." The homie Rotimi is doing it big you see how he rolls.

The Rundown on the Chi-town Music Scene

Rotimi puts it this way although the music scene in the Chi is small, the artist that they do have are very talented individuals. He actually just opened for one who is Willie Taylor of Day26.

Rotimi discusses other entertainment ventures

"I studied theatre while I attended Northwestern, so I would love to get into acting. I feel like it could become one of my passions. However I'm also a fan of all music so I would be open to any genre."You can check out all my Music Videos at www.youtube.com/rotimitv".That's wassup it doesn't hurt to have more than one talent under your belt.

Rotimi Describes his personal style

Or should I say his East Coast swagger as loving Levi Jeans, "and you'll always catch me in a Yankee fitted. I'm a East Coast boy so Timbs are a necessity".

Favorite Place to Hangout in Your City

My favorite place to party in the Chi would be my condo lol. Im a homebody, so i enjoy the company of my friends. Same here I like to go out now and then but you can catch me at the crib where it's warm...lol

Drew Vision Talks “Date Beyond” & “Big Little Lies” for VDay 2025

First and foremost thank you!!!! Now I’m not sure if you are familiar with Comospolitan magazine, well this setup for V-day is that from a guy’s perspective I love that you decided to bring up dating and relationships because as guys, we never really have the forum to really express that. With that being said what is your ideal first date and why…. Yeah, men can never express! And we’re expected not to have feelings so for most of my life, I didn’t, but I’ve been tapped in lately. For a first date I think it should be something very casual because the stakes shouldn’t be high. My ideal first date is something in nature like a scenic walk or a picnic. The reason is because nobody should be spending money on someone you don’t know and also it shouldn’t be somewhere loud because I think the conversation is the most important thing. Is it ok to ask what your dating situation is like gender wise, and how do you really know if you’re attracted to that person or is it just ...
