Port Harcourt’s emerging rap scene gets a fresh addition with “PASSAM,” a collaboration between Liseh and E.T.M, released on October 23, 2026, under Koncrete Republic. The high-energy record blends Afrobeats, hip-hop and alternative influences, with both artists delivering confident verses over a street-inspired sound.
Written by Liseh, whose real name is Onu Olisaemeka, alongside Emmanuel Somiari Amah-Tariah, professionally known as E.T.M, the song centres on ambition, confidence and street awareness. Its lyrics make references to money, jewellery and luxury brands, reflecting the drive for success and lifestyle themes behind the collaboration.
Gift Okechukwu handled the production engineering, shaping the track’s hard-hitting direction. Running for just 2 minutes and 4 seconds, “PASSAM” keeps its energy focused, with both rappers using Nigerian Pidgin to give their performances a distinct local identity.
The collaboration has also gained attention in Port Harcourt, where it appeared on the city’s Shazam Top 50 chart. This adds to the growing visibility of Liseh and E.T.M as emerging voices in Nigerian rap.
