Nigerian hip-hop continues to evolve, and Tentik remains one of its most respected voices. In his latest release, “Urhobo College Freestyle,” the Warri-born MC delivers a no-hook, no-fluff lyrical workout that sets the tone for 2025. Produced by Ojace “Mecca,” the beat offers a mellow, soulful backdrop just smooth enough to let Tentik’s intricate wordplay take center stage.
From the first bar, Tentik is in full command. Referencing his roots and cultural pride, he uses Urhobo College not only as a location but as a metaphor for life's education, street wisdom, and the lessons that shaped his journey.
He blends old-school bravado with razor-sharp modern commentary, boasting “Married to the game / Last year I for don wreck the marriage,” a clever nod to his relationship with rap and the struggles it brings.
Fresh off the success of his Oda City EP, this freestyle feels like a bold reminder: Tentik hasn’t lost a step, he’s just getting sharper. There are no gimmicks here, just raw bars, authentic identity, and heavyweight delivery. If this is the opening chapter of his forthcoming album TEN TOES, then Nigerian hip-hop fans have every reason to stay locked in.
