Ajebo Hustlers

DJ Edu meets Ajebo Hustlers, a duo from the Nigerian oil city of Port Harcourt, whose blended sound has brought major success.

Ajebo Hustlers are a Nigerian duo from the oil city of Port Harcourt. Isaiah Precious (Piego) and George Dandeson (Knowledge) met back in 2010 when they were both working as waiters in a restaurant, and they jclicked musically.

They’ve achieved recognition more recently – in 2020 their song Barawo hit the spot, coinciding with the EndSars protests against police brutality. The song was remixed, featuring Nigerian superstar Davido. Then, in 2021, they had a chart hit with Pronto, featuring Omah Lay.

They’ve received two nominations at Nigerian music awards the Headies, including one for best Afrobeats album for their debut album Kpos Lifestyle Vol 1.
