Paragon QTM and Hugo P link up on “Ugo,” a record pulling two Nigerian music corners into one space. The collaboration pairs Paragon QTM with the rapper and songwriter Hugo P, and it gives both acts room to bring their separate styles together.
Paragon QTM has been drawing attention from listeners watching for fresh sounds. Hugo P, meanwhile, is known for his work within hip-hop and indigenous rap. “Ugo” therefore sits where those worlds meet, and that meeting is the whole point of the song.
There is also a cultural layer to the title. In Igbo, “Ugo” carries meanings around pride, honour and prestige. So the name alone ties the record to Nigerian identity and heritage, and that connection should land well with anyone who likes music reflecting where it comes from.
The release adds another title to the pile of contemporary Nigerian music coming out right now. For Paragon QTM, it is another chance to stay in front of listeners tracking new sounds. For Hugo P, it stretches his reach beyond the rap space he usually occupies.
