Warrior’s Child EP

Daiverse isn’t just an artist, he’s a storyteller with rhythm in his bones and resilience in his pen. With Warrior’s Child, the Nigerian alt Afrofusion act dives headfirst into legacy, identity and the messy beauty of youth. The seven-track EP feels like a letter to his past self, guided by ancestral echoes and modern-day beats.

Born Akandu Ifeanyichukwu Chineme, this Lagos-based singer has quietly been building something powerful. Since dropping his breakout track Cocaine in 2020, he’s racked up over 70 million streams and collaborated with heavy hitters like BNXN, Iyanya, and DJ Voyst. Not bad for a former uni student who got his start doing backup vocals while studying at FUTO. Oh, and that stage name? A clever twist on “diverse,” gifted to him by a friend who noticed he could play everything from football to table tennis like a champ.

The EP opens with Warrior’s Child, an intro bursting with African war drums and cinematic tension. Save Me cuts deep with isolation and heartbreak, while Social Misconduct flips the script with sharp lyricism on betrayal and growth. What If and DND show his softer side—loyalty, family, and giving back. Demons taps into temptation and vulnerability, and the closer LLF offers a rallying cry to Live, Love, Fight.

With co-signs from Pulse Nigeria and TurnTable Charts, a headline show under his belt, and over 190k loyal followers across socials, Daiverse is officially one to watch. His fusion of Afrobeats, R and B and Afro pop hits the sweet spot between ancestral memory and Gen Z emotion.

Warrior’s Child isn’t just music. It’s movement. It’s memory. And it’s available to stream right now—so press play and enter the mind of a warrior’s son with a world-class sound.
