“Island,” featuring Obadice and Legely, is a bonus track on Nigerian rapper Vector’s 2016 third studio album, “Lafíaji”. The song is an introspective look at life in the Lafiaji area of Lagos Island, the environment that shaped Vector’s worldview. The artists sing of a place where children don’t even play, and the daily hustle is real and constant. It’s a compelling hip-hop tune with local slang and a street-smart narrative.

Everyday for this island
We go to church we dey pray for this island
But omode gan o sere for this island
O le bere l'owo wale for the island
