Nigerian rapper Jeriq kicks off 2025 with a thunderous return, dropping his new single Out The Mud on his birthday—a symbolic gesture that fuses personal celebration with artistic elevation. The track, produced by Evandrillist, arrives as Jeriq’s first release since his critically acclaimed King of the Jungle album in 2024, and it’s nothing short of a statement piece.
A Grit-Fueled Anthem of Resilience
With Out The Mud, the Cartel Music frontman taps into his signature blend of rugged delivery and introspective lyricism. Born Chukwuemeka Obieze, Jeriq paints a vivid picture of survival and hustle, weaving personal struggle into a booming instrumental that amplifies both the pain and pride of his come-up. It’s a sonic memoir that connects deeply with fans who have witnessed his rise since the breakout Remember in 2020.
The beat—bold, textured, and dynamic—perfectly complements Jeriq’s cadence and lyrical grit, offering an anthem that bridges emotional weight with streetwise energy. As always, he spits in both English and Igbo, reaffirming his roots while maintaining mass appeal.
Momentum Meets Maturity
Coming off standout collaborations like Chisom (We Dem Boyz) with Rexxie and Achalugo featuring Boy Spyce, Out The Mud doesn’t just continue Jeriq’s momentum—it refines it. The song reflects the evolution of an artist who has steadily carved out a lane in Nigerian hip-hop with raw authenticity and consistent hustle.
What’s Next for the Eastside Maverick?
With Out The Mud setting the tone, expectations for Jeriq’s 2025 are already running high. As conversations around indigenous rap and Eastern representation in Nigeria’s mainstream intensify, Jeriq continues to be a focal point. This single not only celebrates how far he’s come—it also signals that he’s far from done.
