Nigerian artist POS transforms personal pain into power with “Soja” (Pidgin for “Soldier”), a
track that bleeds battlefield honesty and triumphant hope. Featuring Dandizzy, this isn’t just
music, it’s armor. Written after the devastating loss of his mother in April 2024, POS channels
grief into a warrior’s creed: “When I lose mama / Naso my body Dey discover different type
of pain e no fit take.” The song is a lifeline for anyone fighting invisible wars.
“Soja” hits like a drill sergeant’s wake-up call. The hook, “Soldier soldier / Boy affi know say
mi a soldier soldier…”, is a survival mantra, repeated like a heartbeat over ominous basslines
and haunting piano loops.
POS merges street poetry with spiritual warfare, name-checking the “valley of the shadow”
(Psalm 23) while spitting bars about betrayal (“I see you Judas Iscariot”). Dandizzy’s verse
amplifies the tension, contrasting struggle (“Everyday mi ah fighting”) with unshakable resolve
(“Winner na who no slack”). This is music for the bruised but unbroken, where every scar
becomes a medal.
“This song is from my soul,” POS shares. “I made it at my lowest, when I had to choose
between giving up and standing tall. ‘Soja’ is for everyone carrying silent battles, for
those who keep going even when the world says stop.”
“SOJA” is out now on all streaming platforms.
