Port Harcourt-born musical duo Ajebo Hustlers, composed of rapper Knowledge and singer Piego, have steadily established themselves as narrators of everyday realities, blending Afro-pop rhythms with streetwise lyricism reflective of their origins.
Their artistic trajectory, characterized by perseverance and authenticity, has culminated in the release of their latest body of work, Onorato—a four-track EP that encapsulates their musical evolution and cultural ethos.
Derived from the Italian word meaning “honor should be given to”, Onorato serves as a statement of recognition, positioning the duo among Nigeria’s most formidable contemporary acts.

Each track within the EP explores different facets of human experience, spanning themes of aspiration, desire, romance, and bold self-expression.
The project exhibits a sonic duality, balancing moody basslines with melodic hooks, while seamlessly transitioning between introspective lyricism and infectious, sing-along refrains. Tracks such as “Ave Maria” (featuring Victony) introduce a groovy, dynamic element, whereas “Velvet” strips back production layers to reveal soulful, reflective storytelling.
Meanwhile, “Yan Yan Po” (featuring Timaya) delivers an assertive blend of Afrobeat cadences and street-savvy bravado, further solidifying the duo’s stylistic versatility.
Ajebo Hustlers’ approach remains intentional and concise, prioritizing quality over quantity while maintaining an aesthetic that remains both commercially viable and deeply personal. As Piego states, “We want the world to see our depth—whether it’s a party anthem or a reflection on life’s pressures, our music is about connection.”
With Onorato, Ajebo Hustlers do not merely seek acknowledgment—they affirm their established credibility within the industry. The EP is now available on all major streaming platforms.
