Hugo P reunites with Jeriq on “Obi Nwanne,” a collaboration about brotherhood and loyalty with cultural depth.
The song features Wizard Chan alongside Jeriq and was produced by Enaps Empire. Released July 31, 2026, “Obi Nwanne” draws its title from Igbo language, meaning “brotherly love” or “the heart of a brother” – a fitting anchor for a track built around standing by one another through hardship. Hugo P’s sharp lyricism pairs with Jeriq’s street energy and Wizard Chan’s soulful, chant-driven approach, creating a blend of indigenous rap, street-hop, and modern Nigerian sounds.
The collaboration follows earlier joint efforts between Hugo P and Jeriq on tracks like “Circle” and “Indaboski.” Hugo P, born Edwin Prince Mmesoma and hailing from Ebonyi state, has built a reputation for melodic flows and evolving production choices. His work spans albums like Prodigy and earlier projects, positioning him as a voice in Nigeria’s contemporary hip-hop landscape.
“Obi Nwanne” works because it doesn’t chase trends – instead it grounds itself in a specific cultural message while letting each artist contribute their own texture. The production holds everything together without overwhelming the vocals.
