Jeriq – PAIN

On “Pain,” a contemplative album that delves into hardship, grief, and the truths behind his ascent, Jeriq slows things down. It’s a more sentimental side of the rapper, eschewing his typical combative style in favour of something more intimate and profound.

He talks about the sacrifices, street pressure, and expense of pursuing success while riding the beat in a soothing yet sombre tone. Jeriq uses a combination of Igbo and English in the lyrics to convey honest feelings that resonate with listeners who are familiar with the grind.
