Northern Grime scene pioneer, Chiedu Oraka drops his next single, ‘The Trials And Tribulations Of C.E.O’out now on all major streaming platforms.

Raw and exposed, ‘The Trials and Tribulations Of C.E.O’ is Hull rapper, Chiedu’s most unguarded single to date. With his powerful and thought-provoking lyrics, Chiedu presents an emotive number which bares all, a side of the artist fans haven’t seen until now. Describing his own difficult journey in the form of a memoir narrative, the track is backed by a deep, melodic production that speaks volumes and bolsters the gritty undertones behind Chiedu’s words. A fierce reminder of how far he has come.

The release comes shortly after being announced as one of the artists to be supported by the MOBO Help Musicians Fund. Coined as ‘The Black Yorkshire Man’, Oraka describes his music as the sound of a new working-class Northern England. With his distinctive Yorkshire slang permeating each of his tracks, Oraka has built a solid foundation with singles such as ‘Darcy’, ‘Men Behaving Badly’ and ‘Serve You A Taster’, attracting support from the likes of BBC Radio One, 1Xtra, 6 Music, Kiss FM and more.
