Benue-born, Abuja-based hip-hop artist Israel Nigeria releases his bold new single “Poor Man No Get Place”, a raw anthem that captures the struggles of ordinary Nigerians.
With sharp bars over gritty sample-driven production, the track speaks on poverty, fuel scarcity, insecurity, and the silent killings of farmers in Benue State.
The song’s hook “Poor man no get place Naija, look at big rivers we no light, if we get good leaders we go dey alright” echoes the frustration of a nation where promises remain unfulfilled and the poor are forgotten.
The track is taken from Israel Nigeria’s latest EP, Noises from the North, a body of work that blends hip-hop storytelling with social commentary, amplifying the voices of the marginalized.
With this release, Israel Nigeria continues his mission of using music as protest, giving truth to the pain of the people.
