Rising Afrobeats sensation Halver (born Ed Orima) is set to unleash his electrifying new single “Trabaye” on August 7, 2025, a pulsating celebration of street hustle and living life to the fullest. The track captures the unrelenting spirit of Nigeria’s self-made generation with its infectious rhythm and bold lyrical declarations.
Translating to “let’s enjoy the moment,” Trabaye embodies the urgent philosophy of “Make we trabaye, tomorrow fit no dey” – a rallying cry for ambitious youth to seize today’s opportunities. Halver’s confident delivery shines through lines like “Ghetto boy wey get doings pass sugar daddy,” celebrating the triumph of street-smart hustle over inherited privilege.
The creative process behind the track was divinely inspired, with the central phrase coming to Halver in a flash of inspiration. Working with top-tier producers, he crafted a rich Afrobeats foundation featuring irresistible percussion that commands movement from the first beat. The result is a musical alchemy of joy, empowerment, and dancefloor energy.
An accompanying music video elevates the Trabaye experience, presenting a cinematic portrayal of the grind-to-glory journey. Visually stunning yet authentically rooted, it showcases the aspirational lifestyle that comes from turning hustle into continental success.
Hailing from Port Harcourt’s vibrant streets, Halver has been carving his unique space in Afrobeats since 2019. His growing discography – including previous hits Confidence (2022), Slice (2022) and Sambisa (2024) – blends Nigerian musical royalty’s influence (Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy) with global pop sensibilities (Drake, Justin Bieber).
