The Most Underrated Independent Artist on a Mission to Elevate Hip Hop – DJ Phranky Presents New Single

From Lagos to Global Beats, DJ Phranky is leading a trailblazing journey into the music world, stunning audiences with exemplary collaborations

From the bustling city of Lagos Nigeria where success in the music industry seems to be reserved for those with silver spoons, sponsors or record labels, there emerges DJ Phranky a beacon of hope and talent who has shattered barriers and redefined what it means to make it in the music industry without a silver spoon, sponsor or record label. Born Frank Ehizogie Okhiria, ascended from the local echelons of Edo State to the eclectic streets of Lagos with a dream that outshone the struggles he faced. From the deceitful pastor who dashed his transportation business dreams to the loss of his mother, the closure of his DJ and studio services, and a business bankruptcy during the pandemic — every setback was a set-up for a comeback

Against the tumultuous backdrop of life’s vicissitudes, DJ Phranky’s narrative has been one of audacity and artistry. His singles resonate with the ethos of the streets, chronicling tales of pain, perseverance, and the sweet triumph of success. His son, a budding musician, symbolizes the continuation of a legacy that began with a cry of celebration in his debut single “Celebrate Me.”

Defining a unique sonic identity, DJ Phranky’s rap speaks to the soul of the listener. His lyrics are a clarion call, echoing through the corridors of the heart where hope resides. His collaborations with icons like Rick Ross, Sean Kingston, Dizzy Wright, Juicy J, Jadakiss, Gucci Mane, Cam’ron, Xzibit, Kurupt, KXNG, Mc Eiht and Rass Kass aren’t mere features; they are affirmations of a talent that refuses to be sidelined.

Today, DJ Phranky stands as the most underrated Nigerian independent artist to feature a constellation of global hip hop legends. Each track he creates, each beat he drops, is a mosaic of his unwavering spirit. His upcoming tours, “No More War” and “Live Your Dream,” aren’t just events; they are milestones in a journey that seeks to galvanize a world where music is the harbinger of change.

To witness the full spectrum of DJ Phranky’s artistry is to be part of a narrative that redefines what it means to be an independent artist. His resilience is a testament to an indomitable spirit that the music industry has yet to fully recognize. He invites listeners worldwide to visit his website, download his music, and experience the evolution of hip hop through his eyes — the eyes of a dreamer, a survivor, a believer in the redemptive power of music.

DJ Phranky’s music is a beacon for the downtrodden, a soundtrack for the fighters, and an anthem for the dreamers. His upcoming projects promise to deliver this and more, as he continues to captivate, motivate, and redefine the essence of true musical grit!
