Nigerian-born, London-based artist Obongjayar has accompanied the release of his latest offering with a fresh set of visuals.
Titled “Message In A Hammer”, this single – with its hard-hitting drum pattern – is an intense offering from Obongjayar who uses his vocals to passionately express some of his observations about the world. The visuals see Obongjayar team up with director Rollo Jackson who provides us with a gritty narrative reminiscent of classic British gangster films such as Snatch and Sexy Beast.
Speaking on the track, Obongjayar said: “”Message In a Hammer” is about fight, and fighting against the powers that take and steal and rob from us, and calling them by their name – thieves and murderers”
The release of the song comes following Obongjayar’s collaborations with Little Simz and Pa Salieu on “Point & Kill” and “Style & Fashion” respectively. With his debut album in the works, we can expect to see a lot more of Obongjayar in 2022.
