Lagos-based street-hop artist Harteez has released his latest single, “Grace,” a poignant reflection on the realities of struggle and the power of belief.
The track marks a significant moment for the rapper and singer, who has built a reputation for his “Afro Adura” style and compelling storytelling. Having previously collaborated with high-profile artists such as Seyi Vibez and the late Mohbad, Harteez continues to carve out a space for himself by documenting the authentic experiences of life on the streets.
On “Grace,” Harteez moves seamlessly between Yoruba, Pidgin and street expressions, creating a narrative that feels both personal and universal. The lyrics delve into the heavy burdens of responsibility, specifically the pressure of providing for family while navigating a personal path to success.
Rather than relying on typical industry bravado, the record is grounded in gratitude. Harteez explores the delicate balance between human effort and divine intervention, suggesting that while hard work is essential, it is “grace” that sustains him through his most difficult moments.
The single serves as a quiet reminder of the artist’s progress and unwavering faith. By focusing on themes of survival and growth, “Grace” reinforces Harteez’s position as a voice for those facing similar hardships, offering a grounded perspective on the “unseen help” that keeps a journey moving forward.
“Grace” is available now for streaming on all major platforms.
