Drawing upon extensive literature reviews, surveys, interviews, and content analysis, this research investigates the role of Naija Hip-Hop in shaping the identity, aspirations, and emotional experiences of Nigerian youth. The study also explores the potential effects of the lyrical content, themes, and cultural references within Naija Hip-Hop on social and political consciousness among young Nigerians.

The findings of this research shed light on the positive aspects of Naija Hip-Hop music, including its capacity to provide a platform for self-expression, empowerment, and a sense of belonging among Nigerian youth.
