My music gives sense of hope to Nigerians: Yung Sammy

- SURYA S PILLAI

He moved to India as a 12-year-old. Son of a Nigerian priest, he worked hard to find his footing in a foreign land. His school principal refused his request to exempt him from studying Hindi. He, however, took it in his stride and went to learn not just Hindi, but Gujjari, Haryanvi and Punjabi.

Meet Nigerian-origin rapper — Yung Sammy. The singer, who has been living in India for more than 15 years now, is slowly and gradually creating a loyal fan base for himself. The Delhi-based rapper is out with his latest single "MR. RAMBO", a powerful, high-energy track from DESI TRILL's "Brown Is Everywhere".

Blending Hindi, Pidgin English and street-savvy lyricism over a hard-hitting beat, 'MR RAMBO' is a bold statement of strength and resilience. The accompanying music video transforms the artiste into a modern-day Rambo, navigating gang rivalries with unexpected twists and dramatic storytelling.
