More than her celebrated persona as a vocal powerhouse and astute lyricist is Efe Oraka’s striking interpretation of reality, something she does by combining simple but arresting and relatable lyrics with profound, mesmeric sounds as she did on acclaimed hit, Nigerian Dream which just got treated to a video sponsored by Mr Eazi’s emPawa initiative.

It’s been almost two years since Nigerian Dream was released yet each line of the surface penetrating ode to a chaotic society is as valid as it was way before Efe Oraka put out the single.
