I have long been losing my patience with Nigerian hiphop music, it seams to only be about party, show-off love, 'tatty' billion money, booty shaky and "look how cool I am".
There comes a time when cool beats are no longer enough.
That is why I was delighted to stumble on new music by a rap hip hope artiste called Dasuki. The name of the track is called "Green White Green".
I was impressed from the first sounds in the song, it was a blend of authentic old school high life from my father's days in the hook and then the carefully merged rap verses kicked in. The rap verses had tight bars and it delivered punch lines at just the right time. Still, what stuck me most was the message in the "Green White Green" , it was a call to return to the values that jump-started us as a nation in the first place.
It was a refreshing song.

This song was released on NerveFlo as part of the Conscious Music Week celebration and its part of an album called (wait for it..) The B.I.A.F.R.A.N. Tape (curious abi?). The Album is said to be dropping later this week.

Is Nigerian HipHop at the verge of dying?

In terms of lyrical quality & composition.. its at a new low.
