We present to you the newly recorded studio work titled “Ghetto Boy” from the very promising young Nigerian singer Dablin Jidrek which is out now. Ghetto Boy is a single off the singer’s forthcoming EP titled “No Stress” that is also set to be released soon.
Ghetto Boy is a song that documents the evolution of the typical ghetto child, and Dablin Jidrek expresses his unique creativity in this song by creating a different tune from Tem’s “Try Me” instrumentals. This song mirrors the stark reality of thousands of young boys and girls not just in Africa, but around the world who are born into the most unfavorable conditions, into harsh environments and have to struggle their way up the social ladder or die trying.
The powerful lyrics of this song provide insight into ghetto life by highlighting details such as heartbreak, loss and hunger. Quotable lyrics are:
“…I don’t know what you want from me, because the street took a lot from me…”
It’s such a powerful line because it exposes terrific effects of life in the ghetto such as the ones the talented musician sonically sings about:
“…Broken hearts, broken trust, broken homes, broken feelings, broken love…” However, the song ends on a very optimistic note.
The ghetto boy finally struggles to find his way despite the harsh realities of his environment, and now he is reaping the rewards. This is reflected in the closing lines of the song:
“…Now I see my mama flexing; ghetto boy don turn softie…”
These lines stresses the importance of hard work and not giving up and that gold can come out of the dirt.

Nigerian Afrobeats artist Nino De Brown returns with a new single, “Money,” featuring
Rhapsodic Records artist and producer Sholex Timbo On “Money,”
Nino De Brown takes on one of the most universal subjects in modern life: the desire for financial success and everything that comes with it. Rather than presenting wealth simply as a symbol of luxury, Nino De Brown uses the record to explore the complicated emotions behind wanting money, needing money, and understanding what money cannot provide.
The song immediately establishes its theme with the memorable refrain:
“Money no dey buy happiness, I know am
But still I want am
Money be the root of all evil, I hear am
But still I want am”
Those lines capture the central contradiction of the record. People may understand that money cannot guarantee happiness, peace, love, or fulfillment, yet the desire for financial freedom remains powerful.
Nino De Brown approaches the subject from a deeply relatable perspective, turning everyday ambitions into an infectious Afrobeats record. His melodic delivery gives the song an easygoing quality, while the lyrics carry a more reflective message underneath the rhythm.
“Money” speaks to the realities of wanting to improve one’s circumstances, support loved ones, achieve personal goals, and enjoy the opportunities that financial success can bring. At the same time, the song acknowledges the limits of wealth and the complicated relationship people can have with the pursuit of it.
The record sees Nino De Brown continuing to develop his sound and songwriting around themes that connect with everyday experiences. His ability to package a familiar subject into a catchy and accessible Afrobeats record gives “Money” both immediate appeal and a message listeners can take away from it.
Adding to the record is Sholex Timbo, a newly signed artist and producer under Rhapsodic Records, who contributes as a featured artist and produced the song. His production provides the rhythmic foundation for Nino De Brown’s performance while adding another layer to the collaboration.
Ultimately, “Money” remains a Nino De Brown record at its core an honest, melodic and infectious reflection on ambition, desire and the realities of chasing financial success.
“Money” by Nino De Brown featuring Sholex Timbo is out now on all major streaming platforms.
