Early Life and Growing Up in Port Harcourt

Born Marvin Wonodi, Rightflow grew up in Port Harcourt, Rivers State — a city known for oil wealth but also raw street energy. Unlike many kids who fell in love with Afrobeats early, Marvin found solace in words. Port Harcourt’s noisy streets, struggle, and hustle culture shaped his mindset.

In school, he was the quiet kid who wrote a lot. Hip-hop gave him language, rap gave him courage. He listened to international acts like Juice WRLD, Lil Uzi Vert, and Trippie Redd, while still respecting Nigerian rap legends. His friends wanted to do Afrobeats, but he knew his truth was in emotional rap.

He started writing at 14, not for fame, but to escape depression and pressure.

How Music Started — First Song in 2019

Rightflow’s first attempt at recording came in 2019 with a song titled “Shorty Wanna Die.” According to interviews, the song was born out of depression, self-reflection, and heartbreak. It wasn’t a hit, but it was honest — and that honesty became his brand.

Officially, many sources say he released his first track in 2021 after relocating to Canada, but his journey started years before in his small room in Port Harcourt.

Relocating to Canada and Finding His Sound

After moving to Canada to study Psychology at the University of Prince Edward Island, Rightflow found himself between two worlds — Nigeria’s vibrant heritage and Western alternative-rap culture.

He didn’t abandon his roots; he exported them. In Prince Edward Island, a very quiet, cold province, he started blending Pidgin English, PH street slang, and emotional rap.

He started performing at local Canadian festivals like Flourish Fest and Music PEI, and even got a nomination for Music PEI Award for his unique contribution. As a psychology graduate, his approach to songwriting is different — he studies human emotions and turns them into songs.

Breakthrough Projects: EPs and Singles

Rightflow is not an artist of one song. He has been consistent:

Rightflow Unleashed (EP) — 2022: His first official body of work that announced him.

Into the Abyss (EP) — 2023: Deeper, more emotional. Songs like “Into the Abyss,” “End of Time,” and “Violence” showed lyrical maturity.

Popular Singles: “Man O War,” “Shorty Wanna Die,” “Middle of the Night,” “Fake.”

His lyricism goes beyond the normal rap hustle — he sings about truth, hope, mental health, heartbreak, and ambition.

Welcome to the Jungle Album — 2026 and Times Square

In 2026, Rightflow did what no other Port Harcourt underground rapper has done. He released a 12-track album titled “Welcome to the Jungle” which appeared on a digital billboard at the iconic Times Square, New York.

The album, released June 26, 2026, is a masterpiece. It brings together some of the most exciting names in Nigeria’s underground scene:

Zaylevelten — Over 800k monthly listeners, fresh from a sold-out 1000 capacity show.

Scotty Olorin — Over 200k monthly listeners.

Luwa MP4 — Over 80k monthly listeners, millions of streams.

The album explores Nigeria’s contradictions — a nation full of creativity, beauty, resilience, but also challenged by poverty, corruption, and survival struggle. Through rap, Afro-fusion, and trap, Rightflow paints what it means to chase dreams as a young Nigerian.

This album is available on all streaming platforms — Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, Boomplay.

What Makes Rightflow Different?

In an era where Afrobeats dominates, Rightflow dares to do rap with emotion. He is part of a new generation of Nigerian artists who are not afraid to step outside genre and geography. He represents resilience. He is the new face of Nigerian rap in diaspora, as Vanguard described him.

He is independent, honest, and consistent — three things many artists lack.
