Kolaboy opens his debut album with “Nwa Nwanyi Deeper Life (Intro),” a personal welcome built on his church-going childhood.
The story behind the title is the best part. Kolaboy grew up with a Deeper Life mother. During sermons, he would pretend to take notes while he secretly wrote rap lines. So the title is not a gimmick. It comes straight from a boy who sat in church and dreamed of the mic.
That background gives the intro its purpose. It sets the tone for the themes that follow: culture, values, personal experience, and the tug between faith and street life. Nothing here needs a huge build. It simply opens the door and lets listeners step into the story.
The project sounds like what it promises. Indigenous rap, Afro-drill, and highlife touches share the room, and Eastern Nigerian storytelling ties them together. Odia Records handled the release, and it shows a clear plan for the 13-track run.
An intro often sets the rules for an album, and this one does that with warmth. Anyone who plans to play the project from the top will find the best entry point here. Then “Believer” with Evado follows, and the album picks up speed.
For fans who like their rap with a story behind it, this is where to begin.
