In the crowded and competitive world of rap, Atlanta-based Nigerian-born artist, dndSection takes advantage of his Nigerian roots, pulling different stylistic threads together in order to stand out. After closing out last year with stellar tracks such as the Maradona-assisted “Red Eyes” and “Bad Bitches, Bad Decision,” the rapper opens his book for the year with a new Mannywellz-assisted single titled “Runaway (Devil Is A Liar).”

“Runaway (Devil Is A Liar)” is an Afroswing production seasoned with exotic horns and shimmering guitar riffs, which provides the perfect background for the pair who take turns delivering amber-hued lyrics with their sultry vocals.

“I saw you calling but I ain’t replying/I hear spirits calling so I run away,” dndSection chimes on the song’s first verse, swapping his off-the-cuff raps for a mid-tempo drawl about a mesmerising women who spells nothing but danger. Prior to the release of the single, dndSection took to his Instagram page, announcing the record with a picture of himself and Mannywells. In the picture, they were clad in clean-cut suits and black leather boots, in what looked like the set of a video shoot.

“Runaway (Devil Is A Liar)” is coming off the heels of the singer-rapper’s last release “24 Days In Lagos”, a sombre rap freestyle released in February, which was based off his visit to Lagos.
