Chiedu Oraka - Helly Hansen Sessions 5 (Official Video)

Yorkshire rap artist, Chiedu Oraka drops the 5th installment of his acclaimed freestyle series, ‘Helly Hansen’ as his first release of 2023.

Created as an outlet to spit authentic bars and immerse fans in a nostalgic journey of the 90’s, Chiedu Oraka’s Helly Hansen series is a form of freestyle therapy for the Yorkshire native. Donning his own Helly Hansen jacket throughout the freestyles takes Oraka back to his unapologetic younger self. Nothing is off limits once the jacket comes on. Helly Hansen 5 is just as raw, authentic and direct as the first four preceding it. Taking inspiration from Wu-Tang’s classic, ‘Tearz’, Oraka’s lyrical capabilities sit on top of an upbeat, buoyant melody alongside sharp kicks and an addictive beat as he ‘brings it back to the estate’ with his recognisable memoir-influenced songwriting.

“The Helly Hansen jacket is back on and it's time for me to deliver a freestyle that the hip hop purists can dissect bar for bar, punchline for punchline and metaphor for metaphor. My HH series has definitely been a fan favorite over my career. I’ve been asked a lot in the last year to release the 5th installment, as 2022 was missed, so I’ve hooked up with my producer Deezkid to deliver you one of the hottest freestyles of the year. No holds barred, authentic and raw to the core. I’m coming for your favorite rapper’s neck this year. Don’t say I didn’t warn you” - Chiedu Oraka.
