SGaWD: Rising Star In Nigerian Hip-Hop and Alté Music

SGaWD, also known as Seddy the Gawd, is a Nigerian alté and hip-hop artist whose music transcends boundaries. With her captivating mix of sensuality, fierce individuality, and a fearless approach to self-expression, she has carved out a unique space in the Nigerian music industry. This Woman Crush Wednesday, LagosJump Radio celebrates SGaWD for her bold artistry, her commitment to representing her roots, and her relentless pursuit of excellence.

Who Is SGaWD?

Born in the South-South region of Nigeria, SGaWD (short for “Seddy the Gawd”) blends her Nigerian heritage with global influences to create a distinct sound. As an artist who seamlessly fuses rap, melodies, and resplendent songwriting, SGaWD’s music is a reflection of her experiences living in Nigeria, the UK, and the USA. Her ability to incorporate the Ibibio language into her songs, as heard in fan-favorite tracks like Favourite Girl, sets her apart and celebrates her Akwa Ibom roots.

Before venturing into music full-time, SGaWD trained as a lawyer, earning two degrees and practicing law. However, her passion for music eventually led her to embrace her true calling. In her words, “I’ve always wanted to explore and do music. It’s not just about me; my work will be used as a reference point in the history of Nigerian alté and hip-hop.”

The Gawd – Side A: A Bold Artistic Statement

SGaWD’s latest project, The Gawd – Side A, showcases her versatility as an artist. The mixtape features a blend of fast rap, emotive melodies, and carefully crafted lyrics. Songs like Juice Box and Money Prayer reveal her growth and ability to connect deeply with her audience. In Money Prayer, SGaWD reflects on her journey and pays homage to her mother, adding an emotional depth to the track.

Despite the challenges of being a female rapper from the South-South, SGaWD embraces her identity and strives to highlight her culture in her music. “I want people to see the beauty of the South through my work,” she shares, emphasizing her desire to inspire future artists to embrace their unique stories.

SGaWD’s Impact and Legacy

SGaWD’s music is more than just entertainment; it’s a movement. By challenging stereotypes and pushing creative boundaries, she is inspiring a new generation of artists and music lovers. Her fearlessness in addressing themes of sensuality, individuality, and cultural pride makes her a trailblazer in the Nigerian music scene.

Through her work, SGaWD is proving that success is possible for women who dare to go against the norm. Her bold statement, “My work will be used as a reference point in future conversations about Nigerian hip-hop and alté music,” reflects her unwavering determination to leave a lasting legacy.
