Sammy Yakubu drops ‘Hustle’

Songwriter and guitarist, Sammy Yakubu, has dropped his new single titled Hustle, a positive call to action and a nod to the industry that speaks to the present times. Born in Kaduna, the 28 years old dancer and self-taught guitarist was a member of an award-winning dance troupe.

According to the singer, who joined X3M music in 2014, “Hustle is an encouraging, up-tempo manifesto that promotes the ideals of hard work and perseverance especially among the youth. It is also interested in loftier ideals than the glorification of cheap materialism.”

Produced by Echo, mix and mastered by Suka sounds, the new single structure is simple to follow with its catchy beat that can be strategically played multiple times to ensure a radio friendly sound.

His debut mixtape, A Mix Tape & Some released in 2011, comprised of covers of popular music by foreign artistes. He has also performed at influential platforms like MTN Corporate Elite, Felabration and Music Unplugged, and was headliner for the Charity Acoustic Night hosted by X3M Music in collaboration with the Kanu Heart Foundation.
