Their name,
Ajebo Hustlers, is inspired by their respective backgrounds and their mentality. They are Ajebo - from middle class backgrounds - while they also possess an uncanny hustler’s spirit. From the oil city of Port Harcourt, they made their way to Lagos with a dream and no dollar. One thing led to another,
‘Barawo’ became a bubbling under smash that slowly gathered love in Nigerian niche circles. What attracted listeners to them? Their music is a delicate balance of ratchet love-sex music and socio-political commentary, delivered in alluring, quintessential albeit eccentric pidgin, loads of street slangs and Nigerianism. They deliver in a blend of Piego’s unique vocalizations and Knowledge’s street-wise didactic Rap music.
