Igbo indigenous rapper Zoro Swagbag reconnects with Ruffcoin on “Ofuji,” released through ONErpm and continuing a working relationship built on records like “Fendyy & Praddaa.”
This one arrives with a specific purpose behind it. Zoro and Ruffcoin present “Ofuji” as a birthday tribute honouring Dr. Chima Anyaso, an Abia-born businessman and political figure associated with the title. Also, that cultural context gives the record real weight beyond typical street rap subject matter, grounding it in genuine respect for someone tied to their home region.
Zoro’s indigenous rap style pairs naturally with Ruffcoin’s street-pop approach, and the two-rapper format keeps things focused. No crowded guest list, no unnecessary additions. Just two established voices from the eastern Nigerian rap scene trading verses on a record built around celebration rather than competition.
Coming shortly after Zoro’s “Big Shot” earlier this month, “Ofuji” adds another entry to a catalogue that consistently centres southeastern Nigerian identity. Ruffcoin, also known as Nwa Aba, brings his own recognition within Igbo rap circles, and the familiarity between both artists shows in how naturally their styles complement each other.
Zoro has built long-running credibility within Nigerian indigenous hip-hop, and pairing that legacy with Ruffcoin’s contribution gives “Ofuji” a strong regional pull.
