Northern Shegu is more than just a song—it’s a response to the constant underestimation of Northern Nigerian music. Inspired by the frequent videos where people boast about their languages and the success of their artists, like Phyno and Flavour for the Igbos or Olamide for the Yorubas, Arch Baba Gee felt the need to address the question: who do the Hausa people have? This teasing and comparison sparked a fire to showcase the talent that exists in the North.
In Northern Shegu, Arch Baba Gee and Mickeydeviper aggressively call out the global music scene for underrating Northern sounds. They remind everyone that Hausa music deserves to go viral, just like other languages in Nigeria and Africa. With its energetic beat and sharp lyrics, the track is a powerful declaration that Northern music is here to take its rightful place on the world stage.
This song isn’t just about proving a point—it’s about paving the way for Northern Nigerian music to shine globally, showing that Arewa’s talent and creativity are undeniable.
