Hugo P, the fast-rising Igbo rapper from Nigeria’s Eastern hip-hop scene, is back with “9Times”, a hard-hitting street rap cut.
The track arrives as a showcase of what the producer crafted with dark, lively production – hefty kick drums paired with crisp trap snares and booming sub-bass slides. Hugo P rides the quick tempo with trademark sharp pace, moving between fast Igbo proverbs and confident street slang. The crisp sound engineering leaves plenty of room for the lyricist to dominate, delivering an energetic tone from the first drop. “9Times” feeds his expanding core audience hunting for aggressive, unapologetic rap that powers daily routines.
The Eastern rap prodigy has been building momentum through recent releases including “Beretta 92” and “Ofeke”, both arriving in 2026. He’s also been featured on collaborative cuts, strengthening his presence in the indigenous hip-hop space. His 2025 album “Prodigy” marked a turning point, showing evolution across melodic flows and production choices. With each drop, Hugo P solidifies his reputation as someone who understands what street hip-hop fans crave – genuine bravado backed by solid production.
Records like “9Times” prove why the demand for unfiltered Eastern rap continues to grow.
