Nigerian recording artist Steeky is back with a new single, “TAX,” an energetic, Amapiano-inspired track that finds humour in the everyday realities of trying to make a living in Nigeria.

Inspired by conversations around the country’s new tax laws, “TAX” takes a playful look at the many ways Nigerians navigate the system, from paying one fee to another to simply trying to keep up with the demands of everyday life. Rather than making a heavy statement, Steeky turns the subject into something familiar, catchy and easy to relate to.

Driven by infectious rhythms and Steeky’s playful approach, the song captures the humour, frustration and resilience that often come with the Nigerian hustle. It is the kind of song that makes you laugh because, unfortunately, you know exactly what he is talking about.

With “TAX,” Steeky proves that even the most frustrating parts of everyday life can become a reason to dance.

“TAX” is out now on all major streaming platforms.
