Using his platform to create positive change and open the door for a wider black music scene to emerge in these areas. ‘Foot Off The Gas’ is a showcase of what makes the artist feel special, taking influence from hip hop, drill and grime to craft a sound that feels uniquely his own, while packing that familiar edge within its beats and rhythms that ties it to sounds making waves down south. ‘Foot Off The Gas’ is a track about being tired of having to take shit and put up with fake people, but in the process, Chiedu Oraka continues to establish himself as one of the realest.
“My toleration levels for BS are at all time low, Foot of the gas is about being unapologetically myself and turning my back to all the jealous liars and secret fans I have had to encounter in my career and life so far.” Chiedu says of the track. “Everyone loves to have opinion until you see them in the flesh. I am not here to fit into a box or am I here to obsess over clout. This ones for the misfits, this is what happens when Drill meets East Yorkshire”
