Phyno returns with a new music video, titled “Grateful,”
from his recently released fifth studio album, titled “Full Time
Job.”
The video, directed by Ochuko Lagos,
shows the rapper in a reflective and emotional state as he makes his confession
to a priest, symbolising his gratitude to God for his blessings and protection
throughout life’s many challenges. Set against the backdrop of a dimly lit
church, Phyno sits quietly by a partition, a setting that mirrors the deep
sentiments expressed in the lyrics.
In “Grateful,” Phyno takes listeners on a journey through his rise
from humble beginnings in Surulere to becoming a respected figure in the music
industry. He speaks to the divine role that has guided him through obstacles
and lifted him to success, crediting God for making everything in his life
“proper” despite the doubts and struggles he has faced along the way.
Phyno highlights how his belief in God has kept him winning, even
when others didn’t believe in him. He remains grounded, thankful for his
journey, and appreciative of his family, fans, and all the blessings he’s
received. With the refrain, “Kene nu onye kelu igwe na uwa” (“Praise the one
who created heaven and earth”), Phyno drives home his message of gratitude and
faith, acknowledging that every victory in his life has been orchestrated by a
higher power.
