OBI - "SLAVE WE"
Lyon-based rapper OBI was born in Nigeria before immigrating to his current location, and his debut single "Slave We" takes a look at some of the struggles he faced as an African migrant. "We are slaves in the city because we are not free, we have nothing, not even the right to walk in these streets," he says. "We depend on destiny and the looks that are given to us are often ones of judgment. But we keep hope and believe in the possibility to free ourselves. We keep praying. This is what ‘Slave We’ is about."
