State of Emergency” is an energetic and powerful hip-hop anthem featuring two of Nigeria’s most impactful rap voices amongst the youth. EESKAY from the Federal Capital city, Abuja and DanDizzy from the oil rich Port Harcourt backed by an electrifying beat produced by Jiggyyb, the track showcases both artists at their lyrical best, trading sharp, thought-provoking verses with unmatched intensity and flow.
This collaboration speaks directly to the everyday struggles faced by Nigerians, touching on themes of perseverance, societal pressure, and the relentless pursuit of success in a system built to challenge dreamers. EESKAY and DanDizzy reject the polished, politically correct approach often seen in mainstream rap, opting instead for raw honesty and a fearless voice for the people.
“State of Emergency” is more than a track—it’s a statement. A call to action. A reminder that real hip-hop still lives in the heart of Africa.
