Since Endia surfaced on the internet nearly five years ago with his “48” freestyle, the absence of an album to tie his discography together has caused the rapper and singer to somewhat languish in an up-and-coming limbo. The lack of a project, however, hasn’t deterred Endia from updating his catalogue once in every blue moon.

 “Oboche”, his latest single,  is an afro-dancehall track, heavy on the drums and perfect for the air of optimism that has overspread the new year. Ironically, despite being built on the foundations of a pop song, Endia’s lyrics take a left turn to serious matters of the heart, about waiting on love from an uncertain paramore. The single essentially starts out happy,“All my life i’ve been searching for you” , Endia sings. But slowly, “Oboche” unpacks into a song about one-sided affections as the story expands to reveal an emotive core message.
