Olamzzy Drops “EWE”: Lagos Street Wisdom Personified
Nigerian artist Olamzzy has released his latest single, “EWE,” a track that translates the raw essence of Lagos street life into music. Described as a “spiritual slapper,” “EWE” is deeply steeped in Yoruba metaphors, coded healing, and a profound sense of gritty pride.
The title, derived from “Ewe ati egbo” (Yoruba for ‘herbs and roots’), signifies more than just botanical elements; it represents medicine for the soul. The song’s production is likened to a “smoky danfo trip,” creating a rich, atmospheric soundscape that complements lyrics nodding to ancestral wisdom and the spirit of survival.
“EWE” bridges old-school wisdom with the complexities of contemporary chaos, offering a track designed for youth striving to remain grounded while pursuing their aspirations. It’s music crafted to move the body and nourish the soul.
“Ewe isn’t just a plant; it’s survival,” Olamzzy stated. “This is for the ones who heal while they hustle.”
