It's rare to see collaboration across divergent clusters of the Nigerian music industry. But on rare occasions when they do happen, there's genuine joy in music heaven.
The same joy I've been feeling from listening to Brymo and A-Q bring hip hop and folk together on ETHOS.

When the project was announced, I was fascinated. I can understand the intellectual connectivity between Brymo and A-Q, both are cerebral creators spinning their humanity into art.
But how can they find middle ground? An intersection that honours their individualistic gifts?

Surprisingly, they didn't have to go far, just deep. It's all "Love, Life, and Loss," the 3 Ls that bind us together in our waking world.
We exist. we pursue love in all its forms. And whethere we win or lose, we all die in the end.
No one makes it out alive. A poignant theme.

And the pure music itself? God, I have been in heaven. A-Q's throbbing wordplay and wisdom is perfectly counterbalanced by Brymo's melodious music musing.
One bleeds into the other. One flows into another. A sonic match, sweet on the surface, healing on the inside. Brilliance!

I wish more artists could be like this.
I wish more creators can reach out from across the field, bring the best parts of themselves, and find new ways to alchemise their gifts.
ETHOS is value through and through, and we're all blessed for its existence. Well done everyone!
