Greetings to all my dearest readers and music lovers like me. Let’s give a warm welcome to NAIJA GUY DAIRIES. This English artist just released an eleven-song album titled “Truth, vibes and Sacrifice” which was released on 21st April. Let’s take a closer look at this record

The title track of this album is “Ball Like This (Naija Guy Dairies Anthem)2”. Now this song’s intro is what every song’s intro should sound like. It was upbeat and catchy and it will put you in a good mood instantly. The song is about a character who knows himself because he has made a baller life for himself and isn’t afraid to flaunt. From the tidbits about Jollof to the mention of moving fast, this song is what you need to elevate your mood and get up on your feet dancing and having fun. What a baller and killer way to start this album!!

The second song on the album is called “Breaking News (dedicated to my late mother)”. The song starts with a lovely beat and a soft mention of the song’s title. The song was made to celebrate the artist’s mother. He says that even though she is no longer alive, he carries her with him and promises to keep her legacy alive(”legacy strong”). He thanks her for everything he did for her and her many sacrifices for him. Listening to this song, we can tell that the artist loved his mom dearly and humanized him to us the listeners. This was a beautiful song for a beautiful person, may she continue to live in peace

“I’m here for you(Michelle, Noah, Jason, Declan and Excel)” is the next song on the album. This song was made for the artist’s children. He mentions each child by name and mentions something undeniable about them. This song is proof of his great fatherhood, showing no favoritism, just declaring his love for them since they were born. Aside from the thumping beat, this song is quite profound and personal and we appreciate him for sharing this sentiment with us

Next up is the song “Jàámi”(free-up)2”. The intro of this song is extremely foot-tapping and enjoyable, you start dancing even before the song starts. This song is a song that encourages you to dance. Whether standing up or sitting down, this song will get you right into the mood of dancing carefree, just letting the music take control(”free up slowly, shake your body”). This is yet another banger on this album

“Journeyman(Naija guy dairies)” is the next song on the album. The song opens with a really cool Afrobeat sound that is very captivating. The song tells a tale about an immigrant who journeyed to The UK(”I packed my bags”). The song also tells listeners about the struggle that this immigrant went through and how he never faltered, and always arose and went right back at it. This song talks about the reality of many immigrants abroad and their struggles even in these modern times. The vocals on this song were immaculate and the instrumentation was also very beautiful and exciting

Up next is “Naija Guy Dairies 2”. This song’s intro was exciting and the mouth percussion was quite lovely. This song is about a character living in Nigeria. This character is always on his grind, working from dusk to dawn, never giving up, and maintaining his work ethic day by day(”hustle till this day is done, we no Fi give up”). You can tell how much this artist respects his motherland, and and the people who live there. He’s proud to be Nigerian and to have the legacy of hard work in his genes and blood. The beat on this song was very foot tapping and, this is yet another song that listeners will love.

“Naija reset 2” is the next song on the record. This song also opens with a very smooth beat and it is very upbeat and mouth-watering. This song is about a character who is very proud of his roots and is constantly praising his motherland (” We rise, we shine”). Despite his love for his country, he admits that they can do better and asks for a change and a fresh start(” let’s reset again”). What a beautiful and profound song.

Next, we have the song “Still Standing (for the truth and My Job) 2”. The intro of the song is yet another intro that just gets your blood flowing and your heart pumping . This song is a song about a character to gets up and keeps fighting, no matter what life throws at him (” They tried to break me down, I’ll fight through it all”). The rap was an amazing unexpected surprise. The rap tells listeners the truth about being black and how radical racism, has turned into systematic racism(”racial slurs”). This song was just a powerful anthem about the life of black people which we are incredibly grateful for it

“Vibenodey lie (Naija guy dairies)”. The beat which opens the song is a very nice melody that listeners will take to. The song talks about a character who brings undeniable charm and vibes with him or her no matter where they are or what they do. The rap was hard and the song brings with it very good vibes that you wouldn’t want to miss

The Second to last is the song “When I’m Gone (sacrifices and Faith”). The intro is upbeat and very beautiful. The song is about a character who feels underappreciated. He tell people around him to give him his flowers now, not when he is dead and gone. (”I’ve been giving my all but it’s not enough”). This is a powerful song that delivers a very important message to listeners, to appreciate their loved ones now, before it is too late

The last song on the album is “when I’m Gone (sacrifices and faith) 3”. This song is similar to the song before it. The story is the same but it has a bit of synth sounds that seem to be attached to it and sprinkled on it. The album ends with this beautiful song

“Truth, Vibes, and Sacrifice” stands out for its authentic storyline and vivid atmosphere, which represent the spirit of Nigerian heritage. The album recorded in a small independent studio in Hull, UK, marks a new chapter in the life of Naija Guy Diaries, a Nigerian musician residing overseas. The recording method, which emphasized real emotion and genuine energy, welcomed flaws in order to deliver a message that spoke volumes. This record is more than simply music; it’s a tribute to optimism, resilience, and the indestructible spirit of ordinary people, inviting listeners on a transforming musical journey. He is very talented and I look forward to hearing more music from him
