The Sun Nigeria

I want to make the world a better place with my lyrics – Dareysteel

 

 

 

Nigerian-born Spanish rapper, Dareysteel does not just sing to only entertain and make money, but most importantly, to make the world a better place.

The globally acclaimed rapper, singer, song writer and record producer, sees music as a powerful tool, which must be lyrically deployed in the constant fight against injustice, crime and racism, especially as they affect humanity negatively.

Dareysteel has been a professional singer for almost three decades and has been using his intellectually charged lyrics to constantly preach about positive change in the society.

Amazingly, since the widely acclaimed release of his debut single on promotional Mixtapes selections in Madrid in 2003, this Spanish national, has not looked back.

In fact, one of his intellectually tasking songs (How Come) was hugely and massively played on the streets of Madrid, Spain, in June, 2020, during the Europe leg protest of Black Lives Matter, in honour of murdered George Floyd.

And in further recognition of the impact of his lyrically conscious songs, the African community in Madrid, Spain, honoured Dareysteel with a Merit Award, in May 2025.

In the words of the organisers of the historic award, amiable and multi-talented Dareysteel was being honoured as, “one of the African Spanish singers who has consistently and constantly use music to fight against injustice and all forms of racial discriminations against humanity. A change maker and role model with his intellectual lyrics.”

According to the organisers: “Dareysteel is a noble musician who uses his music lyrics to constantly fight against injustice, racism and all forms of crimes against humanity.”

Born Solomon Paul and known as Golongolo Master, Dareysteel was born in Jesse, Delta State of Nigeria.

However, his ancestral root is Nanka in Orumba north local government area in Anambra State, where his parents hail from.

He began his music career at age 12, but has made a living being a musician and a producer in Spain since 1998.

Some of his widely acclaimed studio albums include: Dangerous (2012), Unstoppable (2015), Unbreakable (2016), Man of the Year (2016), Untouchable (2018) and Uplifted (2021).
