Why I Didn’t Address Nigeria’s Issues in My New EP – Falz

Nigerian Singer and rapper Falz has explained why he purposefully avoided discussing Nigerian issues in his recently released EP.

Falz revealed that he purposefully chose to tone down the socio-politically conscious lyrics in his recently released Extended Play, 'Before the Feast'.

He added that he did not speak much about Nigerian issues because he was determined to complain less, as the tone he was seeking to convey must be complaint-free.

Falz remarked in an interview with The Punch that his major goal was to instill in those who listen to the mindset that Africans should have by 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.”
