Hardships (Radio Edit)

City Dreams (Radio Edit)

"Eclipse" is an original composition with the sole intent to shed light on the strange phenomenon individuals undergo when they prosper in their respective fields and have friends, family, and or loved ones walk away from there lives. 

It is an upbeat Neo-Trap Fusion piece with narrative driven sing-rap lyrics guiding you throughout the sonic journey. The songs instrumentation is comprised of trap driven drum grooves, heavy bass, lush ambient synths with chords reminiscent of the 90s Neo Soul movement, all topped off with a soulfully commanding alto saxophone presence.

Lyrics:
Don't know what I'm doing, Just know how I feel,
All these situations in my life are real,
Speaking facts on wax, got stories to tell,
Grinding every day till all is good and well,

Earthquakes in my city cannot stop my grind,
Focused on the mission optimistic mind,
Move up to the top, clear that bucket list,
My haters catching fades just like an eclipse,

Living free,
Moving far from the scene,
Explore all fantasy,
Escape the norm ya,
Be reborn ya,

Vividly,
Living life through my dreams,
Hardships always just seem,
To fade away ya,
Like an eclipse ya ya,

Look at my path, I did the math,
I'm steady winning this match,
Flying through space with a whole lot of grace,
I'm taking over the base,
Dragon Ball Z Budokai T3,
Ascending the powers that be,
Riding the flow as I go, hard knocks in my past, I'm on a new glow,

Paving my own way, I'm finna make some waves, ya,
Making anthems till I see some brighter days, ya,
Underdog until I rise up from the fog, ya,
Success in my vision I'll conquer it all,

Living free,
Moving far from the scene,
Explore all fantasy,
Escape the norm,
Be reborn,

Vividly,
Living life through my dreams,
Hardships always just seem,
To fade away,
Like an eclipse,

Eclipse

After making Philadelphia history and getting shouted out by Will Smith, Ikechi Onyenaka returns with, ‘On My Own’. Through gut punching saxophone staccatos, atmospheric piano chords, and melodic bass lines, Ikechi Onyenaka has truly carved his own lane in alternative jazz with his new emotionally driven single, ‘On My Own’. This is a modern jazz tune that emphasizes the importance of being self-sufficient in the pursuit of your goals despite lack of moral support from peers. ‘On My Own’ is out now and available on all streaming platforms!
