MBBSzn Unleashes Ya Diba – A Gritty Anthem of Hustle and Lessons Learned

Must Read

Nigerian rapper and songwriter MBBSzn is back with a bold new release, Ya Diba—a track that dives deep into the highs and lows of his journey in the music industry. With his signature introspective storytelling and alté-infused sound, MBBSzn delivers an anthem that speaks to every artist grinding against the odds.

A Tale of Struggles and Redemption

Inspired by real-life events, Ya Diba isn’t just another song—it’s a raw expression of frustration, resilience, and triumph. Last December, MBBSzn took a leap of faith, heading to Lagos in search of a breakthrough. Instead, he was met with industry setbacks—an unreliable producer, a dishonest intermediary delaying his distribution deal, and even an unexpected run-in with the authorities. Yet, instead of letting these challenges crush him, he turned them into fuel for his music.

The Sound & Message

From the very first line—“Where do I begin?”—MBBSzn pulls listeners into his reality. He lays bare the industry’s cutthroat nature: “Ife men ne eme men na Industry a” (Things happen in this industry), while reinforcing his unwavering spirit with “But I’m not in my feelings so ya diba”—a mantra of moving forward regardless of setbacks.

His verses paint a vivid picture of Lagos’ unpredictability, where dreams and disappointments collide.  My producer go mental, my producer go craze… Industry make me mental, Lagos make me craze. Still, he acknowledges that every hardship carries a lesson: “No Pain, No Gain. Me I don dey pay my dues, e don tey.

Sonically, Ya Diba fuses rap with Afro-alté melodies, embodying the emotional tension within his story. The hypnotic chorus reinforces a mindset of perseverance—no matter the struggle, you keep pushing.

A Statement of Growth

Ya Diba isn’t just another song—it’s a defining moment in MBBSzn’s artistic journey. His experiences mirror the realities of many rising artists navigating Nigeria’s music industry. Rather than letting his setbacks define him, MBBSzn turns them into stepping stones, proving that resilience is key.

With Ya Diba, he establishes himself as an authentic voice in the alté scene, ready to push boundaries. This is just the beginning.
