Wale - Folarin Mixtape (review)

Good morning fellow earthlings!! so this is my first post of 2013 on this blog and I honestly feel I couldn't have come up with a more befitting topic than the new mixtape, Folarin by the very talented Wale. Released on Christmas eve as an early present for his fans, this production hosted by DJ Clark Kent  is everything that makes the Nigerian born lyricist one of the most promising talents in the music industry - Intelligent, original, smooth complete and fun. Folarin is a back and forth journey from the classic underground delivery that earned him the respect of original Rap enthusiasts to the more subtle and romantic tunes which have endeared Wale to a large number of female fans. It doesn't matter whether you're kicking it with your Gees or just having a moment with you girl/man,  you CAN bump this mixtape all day long. I'm really trying hard not to build it up too much but  dare I say that Folarin is a timeless work of art! I am buzzing in anticipation of the release of his new album (I ain't perfect) due to be released sometime in February. Okay I'm done talking, without further ado, please GO COP THIS MIXTAPE

Help

Whenever I use the public transport system in this town I always get a story. It's because the public transportation allows one to interact with the society and feel it's pulse in a way that is almost impossible from the comfort of a private vehicle. So yesterday I got off a bus at Julius Berger round about at around 5pm, rush hour. Naturally there was a fair amount of traffic, pedestrian and vehicular. I had just arrived in the city from my outpost in Gwagwalada and I was hurrying to get in a cab and out of the blistering sun. That was when I saw something that made me stop. There was a crippled man along the sidewalk. His limbs were shrunk and shriveled and he could only manage to drag his malnourished body along the curb using his forearm while accepting alms from motorists and passersby who threw their loose change in his direction. He looked very exhausted and he had his hands full but every time a  note was thrown out of a moving car or dropped by a pedestrian he would ...

Who I Am

The more things change, the more the stay the same. This is the story of the world we live in today as we seem to be stagnated in a constant flux between the hopeful possibility of a better, more peaceful, healthier future and a cataclysmic devolution into irreversible anarchy. The handwritings are on the walls and pretty much everywhere else you look. Global Warming is ravaging the earth - no thanks to our collective irresponsibility. Global warfare on another note has spiralled out of control, with the institutions of state facing new kinds of enemies - the faceless kinds who are happy enough to just spread the gospel of fear. Global population is on an uncontrollable rise and we all keep saying the same things, attributing our actions and inactions to the will of the almighty. It all has to be part of THE PLAN. We pretend that the world is some kind of fictional place where all our actions have pre determined consequences of which we need not take responsibility and when they turn ...

A dance In blood

It won’t be long before we all will be saying the things we have always known we would come to say if things continued the way they have up to this point. For the first time in the history of this country there are two separatist groups, officially declared terrorists   by the state operating in the North East and South East of our beloved nation. It is quite literally a matter of things falling apart and the centre being unable to hold. The poor handling of the Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB situation has presented us with a bit of a quagmire in the now troubled south eastern region of the country. We, the vastly silent majority who just want to live peacefully, are all cried out! We are yet again at the precipice. It’s the usual pre election year dance and everyone is playing dress up. Some are in the dated costumes of reverence and some are dressed as pythons. We dance along with pythons and men in Isi Agu, singing the monkey’s song and all the while fated to bear the burnt of a fire we ...
