Tribe Mafia Is A Visionary Hip-Hop Missionary
How the groundbreaking Nigerian-Austinites rap duo has gone viral—and why their art matters.We


One of the most captivating up-and-coming hip hop rappers in Texas is a first-generation Nigerian-Austinites named Chinasa Broxton Okorocha and Native American Carlos Moore. While Chinasa will proudly tell you that Okorocha means “God Answers” in the Igbo language of southeastern Nigeria, you can just call him “Chinasa or Broxton.” It’s an important name to remember if you’re a fan of hip-hop, dancehall or music in general.
The adoration for these two young artist has been swift, distinguished, and broadcast widely on social media—mostly by Carlos and Chinasa themselves, who tends to celebrate the praise by dancing and and posting embarrassing bloopers of eachothers behind the scenes productions. Fans Akon, whom the duo has toured internationally in Brazil with the legend. Doja Cat, who they met a Sirius Xm Radio station headquarters in New York, Lil Flip, and Rupee.
Such notable endorsements aren’t typical for a new artist like Tribe Mafia, who performed most of their live solo shows in local provinces of Austin Texas.
