about

Yorkshire rap pioneer, Chiedu Oraka delivers his most significant, transparent body of work yet in ‘Misfit’. Comprised of 12 tracks, ‘Misfit’ is a celebration of differences, a homage to those who are unapologetically authentic and unafraid to be unique in a society that pushes conformity. Chiedu is one such person. Raised in a predominantly white, North Hull council estate, Chiedu has never conformed, both in society and with his music. Feeling like an outsider for most of his life, Chiedu raises a call to arms with 12 tracks that share not only his own experiences but offers others who relate a chance to feel heard.

Misfit is a journey through Chiedu’s mind and life, addressing topics unexpected from a Black rapper and underrepresented in the music industry. From ‘Counselling’, a deeply intimate portrayal of Chiedu’s conversations with his therapist, to ‘Own Kind’ which pens an open letter to the music industry from the perspective of a black, northern artist, all the way through to ‘Standing Ovation’, documenting his journey through anxiety and imposter syndrome - Misfit is a raw, uncut manual that serves to impact all who listen.
