OneDa – Set It Off
OneDa, the dynamic Manchester rapper and poet, continues her meteoric rise with “Set It Off,” a powerful new single from her upcoming debut album, released via Heavenly Recordings. This track, produced by Fat Budha, is a bombastic fusion of drum and bass rhythms with OneDa’s incisive and empowering lyrics.
In “Set It Off,” OneDa urges listeners to embrace their own strength and independence, proclaiming, “Let go of doubt, control your destiny, keep firing shots until you hit.” This anthem follows her previous collaboration “Major Pay” with Renee Stormz, and showcases OneDa’s ability to blend sharp lyricism with dynamic beats.
Fresh from electrifying performances at The Great Escape and supporting tours for Kneecap and Baxter Dury, OneDa is solidifying her status as a key player in the UK’s hip-hop scene. Her music transcends boundaries, incorporating elements of afro-trap, afrobeats, and the vibrant sounds of Manchester’s hip-hop and drum and bass scenes, reflecting her Nigerian heritage.
The Face magazine recently highlighted OneDa as a leading figure in the drum ‘n’ bass renaissance. Her lyrical dexterity and dynamic delivery mark her as a formidable talent. Beyond music, OneDa is a dedicated community activist, leading hip-hop therapy initiatives for Manchester youth and promoting projects that amplify marginalized voices in music.
OneDa’s journey is one of empowerment and authenticity, encouraging others to embrace their true selves and fight for their dreams. With her debut album on the horizon and an unwavering commitment to her craft and community, OneDa is a force to be reckoned with in 2024.
