Rapper Falz has explained why he deliberately refrained from addressing Nigerian affairs in his newly released EP.
Falz disclosed that he purposely toned down on sociopolitical lyrics in his latest Extended Play, ‘Before the Feast’. He stated that he wanted to complain less and create a mood free from complaints.
In an interview with The Punch, Falz shared that his primary goal was to instill in listeners the mindset that Africans should adopt in 2024.
Falz 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 existing in 2024.”
On why he fused different genres of music on the EP Falz said;
“It was very intentional. What I want to do with the EP is to cleanse the palette of the listener. I aimed to make it as diverse as possible with the sounds
“It is interesting that only one producer worked on more than one song on the project. Each song has a new producer, which was not even intentional. That allowed us to achieve a wide range of sounds. So, yes, it was intentional.”
