Nigerian rap veteran Erigga links with EESKAY and Cleanblack Music on “Locked In,” a focused hip-hop record from their collaborative EP.
The song arrived as the third track on the six-song project, which dropped on July 31, 2026. It brings together Erigga’s South-South perspective and EESKAY’s Northern Nigerian background, making the collaboration feel intentional rather than random. The pairing works because both artists stay rooted in the lyrical side of hip-hop. They deliver their perspectives without unnecessary distractions.
Erigga has spent years building a reputation in Nigerian rap, moving through projects like The Erigma II and The Lost Boy. His Warri roots give his storytelling a raw edge that fans have come to expect. EESKAY brings a different energy from the North, and the contrast between their styles gives the track its push. Cleanblack Music adds another layer to the chemistry.
North & South explores ambition, survival, pressure, and everyday Nigerian realities. “Locked In” fits naturally into that wider message, showing how two artists from different regions share experiences despite their different backgrounds.
