Nuno Zigi asserts lyrical authority with new EP “Total Dominance”

Prolific indigenous rapper and songwriter Nuno Zigi (born Obiora Okechukwu Ayadinuno) has officially released his highly anticipated EP, Total Dominance. The project marks a definitive moment for the artist as he steps fully into his identity as a primary voice in the “Afro-Lamba” scene—a high-energy fusion of hip-hop and Afro-pop delivered through a masterclass of Igbo and English lyricism.

Total Dominance is more than just a collection of songs; it is a comprehensive worldview of Nuno Zigi’s journey and legacy. Throughout the project, he exercises total control over his narrative, moving from the aggressive energy of a people’s champion to the quiet humility of a man guided by faith. The EP serves as a complete cross-section of his artistry, featuring vigorous intros, introspective life reflections, and triumphant street sermons.

The project opens with tracks like “2018,” where Nuno Zigi revisits his breakthrough year, reflecting on the hunger, pain, and discipline that forged his professional path. On “World Best Lie” and “New Door,” he turns a critical eye toward the industry, questioning fake success and empty validation while reaffirming his commitment to a path built on patience and courage.

Ambition and loyalty take center stage on tracks like “B Division” and “Yes,” showcasing a mindset hardened by pressure and street intelligence. Nuno Zigi also explores his spiritual and personal growth on “Ozam,” a track dedicated to seeking divine direction, and “King,” a deep self-reflection on the balance between growth and humility.

As an artist who has consistently turned his own “travails” into a source of hope for his listeners, Nuno Zigi solidifies his role as a candidate for the people on Total Dominance. It is a project built for those who value authenticity and the unyielding refusal to quit, even when the pressure is at its highest.

“Total Dominance” is out now and available on all major streaming platforms.
