Emerging from the rap scene of Eastern Nigeria, Eastsidealien has been steadily carving out his own space in the music industry, and his latest single, “Big Akpa,” featuring MOEC and Hugo P, is a testament to his growing influence. Born and raised in Nsukka, Enugu State, Eastsidealien’s unique blend of Drill and Grime elements has created a signature sound that stands out, making him one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising rappers.
The release of “Big Akpa” marks yet another bold step for the artist, following the success of his previous works like “HYPOCRITES” and his viral hit ”YTBMH.” His track record of collaborations, including the remix of “Alien from the East” with Jeriq, has cemented his reputation as a rising force in Nigerian rap.
On “Big Akpa,” Eastsidealien teams up with Lagos-based artist MOEC and Hugo P, who hails from Ebonyi State. Together, they deliver a gritty, high-energy track filled with sharp lyrics and hard-hitting beats that embody the aggressive spirit of Drill music. The song taps into the raw energy of Nigeria’s urban landscape, with each artist bringing their own distinct flavor to the track.
MOEC, known for his Afrobeat influences and soulful, genre-fusing style, adds a unique layer of rhythmic complexity, while Hugo P, who has already made waves with his debut album “Resurrection,” brings a powerful vocal presence that complements Eastsidealien’s hard-edged verses. Their collaboration on “Big Akpa” is an explosive mix of talent that pushes the boundaries of Nigerian rap, showcasing the vibrant diversity within the country’s music scene.
“Big Akpa” is more than just a drill anthem – it’s a declaration of dominance, a bold statement from Eastsidealien and his collaborators. With the driving production and fierce lyricism, the song signals the rise of Eastern Nigeria’s rap scene, and Eastsidealien’s ambition to lead the charge.
As Eastsidealien continues to grow as an artist, “Big Akpa” is a sign of even bigger things to come. His journey from Nsukka to the national stage is just beginning, and this latest release solidifies his position as one to watch in Nigeria’s evolving hip-hop landscape.
