Popular Nigerian rapper and singer Folarin Falana, better known as Falz, has revealed that he deliberately chose not to address the country’s economic situation in his newly released Extended Play ‘Before the Feast’.
The ‘This Is Nigeria’ crooner said he did not talk much about the socio-economic affairs of Nigeria because he resolved to complain less as the emotion he is trying to convey must come without that element of complaining.
Speaking in an interview with The Punch, Falz said his primary aim was to put those who would listen in the mindset they should have as African in 2024.
He said;
“On this project, I am not doing much of the social or political commentary that I typically do. There are socially conscious lyrics, but not particularly about the affairs of the country.
“That is intentional as well. I resolved not to complain, because the emotion I am trying to convey has to be one that comes without that element of complaining. I want to put the listener in the mindset I feel they should have as African existings in 2024.”
