Chinedu (Ahubalezeama) Drops Soulful Highlife/Afrobeats Single “Ube” – A Heartfelt Tribute Inspired by Igbo Legend Pericoma Okoye
Nigerian Highlife and Afrobeats sensation Chinedu, popularly known as Ahubalezeama, has released a fresh new single titled “Ube”, delighting fans with another vibrant addition to his growing discography.
The track, which runs approximately 4 minutes, was officially released on March 10, 2026, under Bravo Entertainment. It is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Shazam, and YouTube, where the official music video has already begun gaining traction.
Produced with contributions from Master Kraft and written by Chinedu Ezeani himself, “Ube” blends smooth Highlife rhythms with contemporary Afrobeats energy — a signature sound that has become Chinedu’s trademark. The song follows hot on the heels of his recent trending hit “OBIDIYA”, keeping momentum alive for the artist who continues to carve a unique space in Nigeria’s music scene.
What makes “Ube” particularly special is its deep-rooted inspiration. Chinedu has openly credited the late Igbo traditionalist and musical icon Pericoma Okoye (also known as the “Lion of Africa”) for influencing the track. According to the singer, his father was a devoted fan of Pericoma’s distinctive style — a powerful fusion of rich Igbo cultural history, spiritual depth, and folklore. This personal connection shines through in “Ube,” giving the song an authentic cultural resonance that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Fans and critics alike are already praising the single for its catchy melody, heartfelt delivery, and ability to leave a lasting impression. As one promotional note puts it: “This Chinedu’s track titled ‘Ube’ not only showcases his undeniable talent but also leaves a lasting impact, making it impossible not to crave more.”
Chinedu’s music often celebrates life, culture, and spirituality, and “Ube” fits perfectly into that narrative. Whether you’re vibing at a party, relaxing at home, or connecting with your roots, the song delivers feel-good energy with substance.
