Nigerian rap king LADIPOE is back with a track that hits different. “Hallelujah” isn’t your typical braggadocio anthem. This one’s a head nod to the hustle, a toast to the crew, and a peek behind the curtain of success.

LADIPOE opens with a vibe check: “Nothing now wey go kill my vibe.” (Nothing’s gonna mess with my flow). It’s clear from the jump, inner peace is the real prize. He shouts out his ride-or-dies, the ones who had his back before the penthouse views. Loyalty is a currency that never loses value in LADIPOE’s world.

But success ain’t all champagne wishes and caviar dreams. The track gets real about the dark side of the climb. Lines like “This no be lifestyle na religion” (This lifestyle ain’t a religion) hint at the temptations that lurk around fame’s corner.

The chorus explodes with a defiant “Hallelujah!” It’s a middle finger to the struggle, a battle cry for those still grinding. “Sitting in the lungu screaming Hallelujah,” LADIPOE reminds us that success doesn’t erase the hustle. Whether it’s rolling deep in a taxi or cruising in a fleet, the journey matters.

LADIPOE‘s wordplay shines on “Hallelujah.” He switches effortlessly between Yoruba and English, dropping streetwise wisdom alongside personal stories. He brags about blowing millions on a penthouse, then needing some humble cassava to get back on track. A reminder that even the biggest ballers gotta keep it real.

The song ends with a mic drop moment. LADIPOE reflects on his come-up, from spitting freestyles in the backseat to headlining shows. “How I turned GOAT from the black sheep,” he raps, a testament to his grind and talent.

“Hallelujah” is more than a song, it’s a conversation starter. It’s for the dreamers, the hustlers, the ones who know the road to success ain’t always paved with diamonds. LADIPOE lays it bare: the struggle is real, the temptations are strong, but with hard work and your crew by your side, the view from the top is worth the climb. So crank up the volume, raise a glass (or a bowl of garri) to your crew, and let LADIPOE’s “Hallelujah” soundtrack your hustle.
