About

Osaze stacks shelves nights on Morning Lane and runs a bedroom pirate set at weekends. His uncle brought him to Hackney as a teenager with a bit of money sewn into his trousers. When SARS killed his younger brother in 2019 and the case was shut in 72 hours, ‘Nah lie?’ stopped being a joke and became how he interrogates everything. He’s not a prophet or a machine — just a tired, sharp man with a mic who refuses to be lied to.

The pirate-radio conscience of the ends.

[Hackney, London (Edo roots)] Night-shift at a Tesco Express on Morning Lane
