To inspire you this week, Mp3bullet.ng has compiled a selection of the best Nigerian Afro-Adura songs.

Afro-Adura is fundamentally a sub-genre of Afrobeats that is distinguished by aspirational lyrics, preferably in Yoruba, occasionally placed over melancholy beats that may very well be referred to as “chants.”

In the past decade, the Nigerian music sector has experienced tremendous growth and the soundscape has continued to expand.

Nigerian artists continue to innovate by bending and fusing several genres, from Afrobeats to Afropop, Afro & B, Street Hop, and now Afro Adura (Afro Trenches).

As the subgenre is based on Afrobeats, it is a bit obvious that “Afro” is utilised, but “Adura” is a Yoruba term that means “prayer.”

When you take a close look at the Nigerian music scene, you see that, because of the hustling spirit of Africa, prophesying, prayers, and hopeful implications play a significant role in the music culture.

The main component of “Afro Adura,” also known as “Afro Trenches,” is the reflective and inspirational lyrics. It is music for the street, by the street. It is a mix of motivational and gentler street hip-hop music.

Here are some of the Nigerian Afro-Adura songs t add to your playlist;

Hustle- Reminisce ft BNXN, D Smoke

Reminisce teams up with BNXN fka Buju and American rapper, D Smoke to deliver a mid-tempo song that talks about the HUSTLE and GRIND.

The song which is led by BNXN’s soft soothing chorus is complimented by Reminisce and D Smoke’s hardcore rap verses about the sacrifices they have made for the hustle.

Try- T.I Blaze

The hit song TRY by T.I. Blaze from “The Fresh Prince Of Lagos EP” talks about cutting your coat to fit your size and sticking to your hustle.

The opening line of “Try,” which goes, “I get many things wey dey trouble my head,” provides a glimpse into the anxious mind of the newbie, whose hollowed-out raps and quicksilver melodies pound on the undeniable utility of money.

Rise- T Dollar

“Rise” is T Dollar’s breakthrough song and for many people a reminder that success doesn’t come easy and free. Like many people do, T Dollar reflects on the choices and paths he had to take in pursuit of his goal.

Adura- Bella Shmurda and Mohbad

“Adura” was released before Mohabd and Bella Shmurda found mainstream fame but given their current status in the industry, it’s fair to say that God definitely answered their prayers.

Tomorrow- Barry Jhay

What is an Afro-adura playlist without Barry Jhay?

Barry Jhay has made it his mission to always spread positivity through his music, and “Tomorrow” offers yet another wise piece of counsel to everyone on how to act in a way that ensures a brighter tomorrow.

The Aiye artist samples Barrister’s song in the intro of “Tomorrow,” which he fills with his distinctive wavy sound.

Nzaza ft Asake

This song is a prayer every struggling hustler prays to God. “Nzaza” is an Ibo word meaning “God, please hear my prayers”.

The lyrics of the Nzaza song highlight how far Asake has gone despite all the things that have been done to him. People are constantly in awe of how far he has come and how successful he is because they can not seem to comprehend it.

Asake sings about how God is his guardian and how he wants that people would understand that there are many situations that are beyond their comprehension since whatever God does, it is not always necessary for people to understand.

Steady on my grind
I’m focused on many wheezes
But in a couple of years
I’m prepping for many seasons
My girl is my motivation

Nigerian rapper, and record producer Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, better known as Phyno Fino, has sent a note of warning to Olamide also known as Baddo, his close friend and colleague, to hide his hard drive after the latter recently leaked their collaboration “Do you Wrong.”

Olamide whose voice is first heard on the song took to Twitter to playfully sub his friend for not wanting to settle boys.

Phyno in response told the YBNL boss that he is just looking for a reason to leak the song.

It didn’t take long for the YBNL boss to respond with a screenshot of a blog showing that the song has already been leaked.

See the post below:

Surprisingly, the song was leaked as Baddo said, and it immediately caught the attention of fans, with the calming mid-tempo afro-fusion melody receiving positive feedback.

In response to the leak, the Penthauze record label owner quoted Baddo’s song-related tweet, instructing him to “hide his hard drive” – a friendly threat that corresponds to Phyno retaliating in equal measure.

He tweeted:

ah!!! Hide ur hard drive Baddo

The song is part of Phyno’s forthcoming album “Something To Live For” which would be dropping on November 12th, 2021.

Aside from Olamide, other artists like Peruzzi, D Smoke, The Cavemen, Pappy Kojo, Flavour, among others are to be featured on the project.

While we wait for Phyno’s album to be released on Friday, we hope that the friendly banter continues and we, the fans, get to hear some of the classics that have been stored on the hard drive.
