Away from the usual bravado, Kolaboy gets candid on “Onu,” an indigenous hip-hop record that brings together his sharp storytelling and the soulful vocals of YungKeb.
Released on September 25, 2026, the song finds the Nigerian rapper reflecting on personal experiences, career pressures, and what it means to stay true to himself.
Produced by White Magik, with mixing and mastering handled by Signechọr Vybez, “Onu” takes a more measured approach than some of Kolaboy’s high-energy records. His verses come across as direct and introspective, giving him space to address how his journey has been perceived and the misunderstandings that can surround an artist’s path.
YungKeb brings a softer contrast to the record with smooth, melodic choruses. The combination of his vocals and Kolaboy’s more pointed delivery creates a balanced arrangement without taking away from the indigenous hip-hop identity of the song.
“Onu” appears as the fifth track on Kolaboy’s debut studio album, Nwa Nwanyi Deeper-Life. Following “Don’t Judge Me” featuring Paddy K, the track adds another layer to the project by showing a more reflective side of Kolaboy’s artistry.
