Two Of The Uniport Students Burnt To Death Recorded This Song "Heart of the City" – Video

We’ve all heard the news, we’ve all seen the pictures, and those of us who were able to stomach it took a few minutes to watch the horrific video. Four students of the University of Port Harcourt were beaten and burnt to death by the people of Aluu Community last Friday October 5.  Reasons behind the brutality remain sketchy but one thing we all know is that, no matter what they did, Chidiaka, Tekena, Lloyd and Ugonna didn’t deserve to go like this.

It turns out that 2 of the 4 victims, Lloyd (Big L) and Ugonna (Tipsy) were up & coming musicians as well. They were both featured on this song titled “Heart of the City” by another newcomer called Timi Kay. When you listen to the lyrics, you’d understand where they were coming from. Could it have been a premonition? I’ll try not to be too dramatic about it. In any case, you couldn’t have handpicked a better song to highlight the f*@kery that has just occurred.

The song  talks about how wicked the word is – It says no love in the city. A really good rap song.

They sounded like American rap artists. It was played by a radio station in Ph this afternoon as they where commenting on what happened. The boys were supposedr to have a show this week in Uniport.

The music is great. Ironically the lyrics talked of doomed hateful society, full of hate, crime and death. Chai, we just lost some overwhelmingly handsome talented Igbo boys to heartless beasts in human form.
