Tenski, save me

Chisom Lucky Okoro, better known as Zaylevelten or Tenski, is a Nigerian rapper and record producer from Ikorodu, Lagos. He is of Igbo descent.

While his early music is reminiscent of American rappers such as Yeat and Ken Carson due to the instrumentals and vocal delivery, his recent switch to a hybrid of Nigerian and American influence brings a refreshing sound to Nigeria and the world.

He began recording music in 2021, however, his earliest project still available on streaming platforms is the July 2024 EP l0cked 1n. In October this was followed by before 1t g0t crazy and then its deluxe edition in November. He released another project in 2024 titled Tenski but it was taken down due to sample issues.

Zaylevelten started garnering attention in February 2025 with the track “watching me”. He then gained much more traction with his mixtape then 1t g0t crazy, released through Lizzy Records in October 2025. This tape included more Nigerian Pidgin than his previous projects, a deliberate decision in an effort to sound more unique. This was followed by the deluxe edition then 1t g0t crazier in November, which included the track “Wuse Tu” with fellow rising star Mavo.

In March 2025 he revealed that he was currently enrolled at the University of Lagos and studying English Education.
