His music often pulls from the realities of young Nigerians chasing stability in a fast-moving city. Over time, he has shaped a style that balances catchy hooks with honest storytelling about ambition, setbacks, loyalty, and survival. Following the momentum of his recent collaboration “Enjoyment” with Poco Lee and Mavo, With the dual release “Maji/Returns,” Diamond Boy presents two connected records that speak to the grind from different emotional angles.
On “Maji,” he leans into reflection. The song opens with mental exhaustion: “As e de do me for my head, brother I don’t even know.” It is a clear admission of pressure and confusion. He speaks about hearing “No” too many times while still pushing forward, painting scenes of late nights on the road at 2am when others are asleep. The proverb “water no get enemy” becomes the backbone of the record. Like water, he chooses to flow, adapt, and stay steady. There is pain in the line “Friends wey I get no be brother,” which captures betrayal and disappointment. He balances that with gratitude for his mother’s support, admitting that without her, the stress could have broken him.
“Returns” carries a firmer tone. The opening line, “Life na race, everybody de relay,” frames the journey as competitive and urgent. Diamond Boy declares loyalty to his grind with “Married to the game and I no fit fornicate,” making it clear that distractions have no place in his focus. The repeated line “The hustle no fit tire me” reinforces stamina and belief. The hook, “As I de file all my returns,” uses financial language to describe the reward for hard work. Every sacrifice is an investment that must yield profit. He references Bitcoin, millions, and luxury drinks, showing the modern face of wealth dreams. At the same time, he admits, “Many bills I de calculate for my head,” grounding the song in real responsibility. The record blends ambition, pressure, and self-belief. Together, “Maji” and “Returns” tell a full story: endure the storm, stay focused, and trust that the effort will pay back.
