Fast-rising Nigerian singer and songwriter Obedo PF teams up with the Eastern rap star Aguero Banks on a highly contemplative street-hop record titled “Nobody Holy” off his EP Heal the Ghetto Youth.
This touching collaboration comes at a time when street heads and conscious hip-hop enthusiasts are looking for honest recordings that touch on human frailty, street survival, and moral judgment. Aguero Banks is building his name with rough Igbo rap performances and hard-hitting street wisdom, while Obedo PF has been slowly gaining notice with his soulful melodies and relevant ghetto stories. Their creative forces combined make a forceful message against hypocrisy, preaching tolerance all throughout the area.
Producer 28Mojo creates a somber, mid-tempo backdrop with soft guitar loops, snappy percussion shakers and a steady head-nodding drum kick. There is a subtle rolling sub-bass that supports the rhythm, bringing a rich emotional weight to the music without overpowering the narrative. But the sound engineering is still clean and spacious, giving both artists plenty of freedom to get their ideas across with great clarity.
Obedo PF’s silky vocal texture and expressive phrases dominate the early part of the record. He controls the patient speed with aplomb, adds real feeling to his melodies and serves up a hook that is both addicting and thought provoking from the first drop. His honest acting generates a pensive, introspective ambiance that draws the viewer into the story immediately.
Aguero Banks comes on for the second half to drive the momentum with his usual gritty flow, crisp Igbo proverbs and hard hitting street truths. There’s a lot of understanding of human weaknesses, the harsh criticism from society and a reminder to all to mind their own hustle instead of pointing fingers in the songwriting. Their innate creative chemistry turns a simple fact into a universal anthem for the streets.
This release is seamless; every piece is connected as a whole, soul-stirring listening experience. The patient production follows their passionate vocal delivery step by step across the whole runtime.
