Berryhud has released a new single, “Journey Not Funny,” an R&B/Soul song that reflects on the difficulties involved in pursuing success.

The track sits within the Nigerian independent artist’s broader catalogue, which includes “Money on My Mind” featuring American singer T-Rell, “Alubarika,” “Imagine” and “Time.” While Berryhud’s music also draws from Afrobeats and Amapiano, “Journey Not Funny” takes a more R&B/Soul-oriented approach.

Born Arowosola Toba Victor, Berryhud began making music at 23, initially recording songs on his phone while learning production and beat-making. He now releases music independently through his label, Behood Movic.

His songwriting frequently touches on ambition, financial growth, faith, relationships and the challenges of trying to build a career from the ground up.

Those themes also inform “Journey Not Funny,” whose title points to the less straightforward side of that process.

“Journey Not Funny” is out now and available on streaming platforms.
