Kolaboy - Okpoko | MP3 Audio Download
“Okpoko” carries unusual autobiographical weight for Nigerian indigenous rapper Kolaboy, who names a solo cut on Nwa Nwanyi Deeper Life after the Onitsha area closely connected to his upbringing.
The place has surfaced repeatedly in his earlier writing. On “Grateful”, he recalled growing up in Okpoko and his mother selling food there, while “Wire” also traced childhood hardship and his schooling around Okpoko Eleven.
With no featured artist, Kolaboy keeps the performance centred on the Igbo-led rap and storytelling that have made location, family and lived experience recurring parts of his work.
That history makes the title more than a random place-name. For listeners familiar with his back catalogue, it connects the album to a neighbourhood that already occupies an important place in the story he has told through music.
Listeners can find “Okpoko” wherever the album is available digitally. Give the song a listen and share your thoughts in the comments.
