REEPLAY CAPTURES THE HUSTLE ON “COUNTRY DEY HOT”
Reeplay is steadily carving out a place in Nigeria’s hip-hop scene with his fearless lyricism and unmistakable energy. Born Jibril Adeiza Omaki, the Abuja-raised rapper and songwriter has earned recognition as a key member of the Anti World Gangstars collective, delivering music that blends street experiences with sharp storytelling. His latest single, “Country Dey Hot,” continues that approach, offering a personal reflection on ambition, survival, and the realities of everyday life.
On “Country Dey Hot”, Reeplay paints a picture of a country where survival has become part of everyday life. He talks about rising prices, insecurity, flooding, and the pressure that comes with trying to make ends meet, but he never loses his sense of humour. He delivers his observations through clever punchlines, street slang, and an easy confidence that makes the record feel both entertaining and familiar.
The song captures the reality that even when life gets harder, people still find reasons to laugh, celebrate, and keep moving. Reeplay moves between stories of the daily hustle and moments of enjoyment, creating a song that feels
honest without becoming heavy.
“I wanted to make a song people could dance to while still seeing themselves in the lyrics,” Reeplay says. “We all know the country is challenging right now, but Nigerians have a way of finding joy and pushing forward. That’s the spirit I wanted this song to carry.”
