International Star OneofAfrica Starts the New Year Bigger and Better with His Empowering Jam, “Abnegation”
From the heart of Lagos, Nigeria, and living the African dream, OneofAfrica’s story is one of resilience, relentless work ethic, and unwavering commitment to make a name for himself, which he has done and continues to do so, one step at a time. The past couple of years have been a realization for him: all the hard work and behind-the-scenes sacrifice have paid off. His impressive discography thus far speaks for itself. When he created the critically acclaimed anthem “Shegbemgbem,” dubbed the African Belaire anthem, he did not anticipate the impact it would have not only in Africa but also globally. Simply put, his story is how he went from “poor me” to “please pour me a drink and celebrate with me!”
One thing about OneofAfrica, he always wants to give back to his community and be a source of inspiration to many like him who’ve got big dreams of achieving everything they said they’d do. One vessel he uses to inspire youth like him is music, and his latest jam, “Abnegation” tells his heartfelt story of coming from the bottom to where he is!
He puts heart and soul into this; this is such an earnest conversation with the listener. His rap flows are smooth, easy to relate to and decipher, and they also carry with them empowering messages delivered in his unmistakable tone.
His lyrics exude maturity, with affirmative words that express that never-say-die mentality, undeterred mental focus, and the right mentality to achieve whatever you set your mind to without giving attention to the detractors, dream stealers, and those who are constantly trying to put you down.
The guest artist DR3LA provides the captivating hook for this jam, elevating it to new heights and giving it that anthemic feel to make sure it stays with you even after the final notes have disappeared.
It is such a pleasure for me to recommend to you “Abnegation”- you deserve this jam right now!
