Lock into Viighoo’s electrifying, empowering, afro rap track , ‘Motivation’.
Suppose you’re feeling stuck or in a rut. In that case, Nigerian artist Emovigho Mukoro, popularly known as Viighoo, releases a track that’s got a laid-back, groovy, charming afro beat, jazzy sounds and hard-hitting lyrical flows to get you tuning into your warrior spirit.
We open on airy, ethereal atmospherics and Viighoo’s lighthearted intro. He sets the vibe and shouts out to his collaborators on this track, Loudspeeka and Safe. But from the minute those beats kick and he launches into his opening verse, you know he means business.
‘Well, holla. For what its worth, I give it my all,…’
The opening verse is a gritty, grounded expression of Viighoo’s journey so far. Pushing through challenges, dealing with setbacks and still always finding motivation within himself. Keeping that creative fire and thirst for learning and growth.
At the one min mark, the track elevates into an upbeat, higher-pitched chorus with the track’s titular hook forming the base.
‘Motivation, Inspiration, Innovation, Dedication….’ he emotes oh so passionately, flowing along to breezy afro rhythms.
As the track proceeds forward, intriguing, subtle jazz guitar tones add depth and personality, bridging us from one verse to the next. The following verses from Safe & Loudspeeka are just as sincere, sublime and intelligent. We loop through choruses elegantly and then conclude on an upbeat guitar melody, fading to silence. A thoroughly enjoyable, thought-provoking listening experience!
Its truly inspiring to us to learn that all this creativity comes off the backs of a beginner’s course in production that Viighoo’s recently been pursuing at the London Sound Academy. It’s empowered him to not only produce but also mix and master the track himself!
No doubt, ‘Motivation’ is a direct outcome of his unwavering dedication to perfecting his craft and excellent execution.
