Godex Skylord - As How Nah

When I created “As How Nah,” I wasn’t just recording another Afrobeat track — I was pouring out my reality, my motivation, and that stubborn fire inside me that refuses to die no matter how tough things get. This song is me talking to myself, to the streets, to my day-one supporters, and to everyone out there grinding quietly, trying to turn small beginnings into loud victories.

You know that phrase everybody is using now — “as how nah” — the street way of saying, “So how else do you expect me to do it?” I took that trending expression and shaped it into something powerful. For me, “As How Nah” is more than slang. It’s the anthem of anyone who is hustling without excuses. It’s the sound of someone who refuses to give up because they know deep inside that their “best” will soon become their best-ever.

When you listen to the song, you’ll hear confidence. But behind that confidence is a long journey filled with quiet nights, frustration, and those days when it felt like nothing was moving. I wanted the track to carry the spirit of every dreamer who’s been laughed at, underestimated, or told they won’t make it. Every beat, every line, every rhythm is a reminder that nobody can stop you except you.

The sound of “As How Nah” carries pure Afrobeat energy — that sweet gingering vibe that wakes your spirit and pushes you to move. The drums are sharp, the bassline is warm, and the rhythm has that Nigerian street bounce that makes you nod your head without thinking. I wanted the song to feel like motivation disguised as dance music: something you can enjoy, something you can vibe to, but something that also pushes you to go harder.

As an artist, I love blending message with groove. I don’t just want people to dance; I want them to feel something. I want the music to enter their system and remind them of who they are, where they’re going, and what they’re capable of. In this track, I made my voice raw and honest. I didn’t want to sound perfect — I wanted to sound real. I wanted people to hear the truth behind the words.

When I say I will hustle till my best becomes my best, I mean it with everything in me. I’m not the kind of person who waits for miracles without doing the work. This music journey has taught me that consistency changes everything. Even when people don’t notice you yet… even when your shine is still hidden… even when your dreams feel slow… you keep pushing. Because at the end of the day, that small improvement you make today becomes the breakthrough you celebrate tomorrow.

“As How Nah” is my way of saying:
If I don’t hustle, then how?
If I don’t push myself, who will do it for me?
If I don’t keep moving, how will the dream grow?

Life doesn’t hand you success; you earn it. You craft it. You fight for it. And sometimes you even cry for it. But once your time comes, nobody can stop it.

I also created this song to reflect the Nigerian street culture — the jokes, the slangs, the never-give-up spirituality that we all share. Nigerians know one thing very well: we may suffer small, but we no dey ever surrender. And that’s the energy I carried into the studio. I wanted a track that represents the hustle spirit of anyone who has big dreams, whether they’re from Lagos, PH, Abuja, or any corner of the world where people wake up every day to hustle for a better life.

When you hear the chorus, you’ll feel that street flavor — catchy, confident, and full of attitude. It’s the kind of line you shout with your chest. The kind you use to ginger your friends. The kind you say when life tries to block your path and you choose to walk through anyway.

My musical style has always been about blending reality with rhythm. Afrobeat gives me room to be bold, to express myself, to be playful, and still carry meaning. I love beats that have bounce, vibes that feel alive, and lyrics that feel like someone speaking directly into your ear.

“With As How Nah, I want you to dance, yes — but I also want you to remember your strength. I want you to laugh at your struggles knowing you’ll soon overcome them. I want you to step into any room with confidence. And most of all, I want you to believe that your journey is valid, your effort matters, and your breakthrough is closer than you think.”

So plug in your earphones, turn up the volume, and let this song ginger your hustle. Add it to your playlist, share it with your friends, and let it be that soundtrack that reminds you every day:

If you don’t hustle — as how nah do you expect to win?
