Eziafakaego Esemene, widely known as Lopez, is a Nigerian artist, songwriter, singer, rapper, and DJ making waves in the Afro-Hip Hop scene. With a unique ability to effortlessly blend English and Pidgin, Lopez is set to redefine the genre with her debut single, ‘Pay Me‘.
‘Pay Me‘ is a powerful and timely track that fuses Afrobeat and Afropop influences with an Afro-Hip Hop bounce.

Produced by the multi-talented Rhaffy, ‘Pay Me’ showcases Lopez’s distinct sound and storytelling prowess.
Currently working on her debut EP, Lopez is on a mission to merge hip-hop and Afrobeats in a way that is both relatable and lyrically rich, incorporating clever wordplay and humor to connect with her audience on a deeper level. Beyond her artistry as a rapper and singer, she is also an accomplished DJ, further solidifying her status as a multifaceted talent to watch.
With ‘Pay Me’ now available on all major streaming platforms, Lopez is just getting started. The world should brace itself for the rise of a new force in African hip-hop.
