When you hear “Ghetto,” what comes to your mind? The slums, areas that are disadvantaged, or even a place with so many struggles. The artist Phyno referred to the Ghetto as his root, the place he began his journey to greatness.
To the artist, the ghetto is not just a place; it could be a situation or even a state of mind. His evolving from the slums to a place of luxury is worth all the gratitude on earth.

Ife i chere na ọ dịrọọ eme, ọ na-emezikwa, ah ah ah
Ị gaa n'Abakpa, you go see say n'ọdịrọọ eme, ọ na-emezikwa, ah ah ah
