about

Approaching your official debut album can be a daunting task for most musicians, especially in the rap game. But Obie Iyoha embraced this challenge and handcrafted an opus to be proud of. With Midnight Run, The Black Opera member and Ann Arbor native asserts his range as an artist, his wisdom beyond his years, and his Nigerian heritage.

Midnight Run is a journey through the murky-water trenches of southeast Michigan, otherwise known as 'Trippyville', confronting the vices that the night has to offer. The album is laced with live instrumentation over vibey production. It flows through slow, bass-heavy trap, and onto upbeat boom-bap and dance, painting a sonic portrait of a late night excursion through the inner city. Obie Iyoha may be a new name to some, but his stories are vivid enough to bring you into his world and make you feel like it’s your own. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.
