Falz Explains Why He Didn’t Address Nigerian Affairs in His New EP

Rapper Falz has opened up about why he deliberately avoided addressing Nigerian affairs in his newly released EP, “Before the Feast.”

Falz revealed that he intentionally toned down the sociopolitical themes in this Extended Play. He explained that his goal was to complain less and create a mood free from complaints.

In an interview with The Punch, Falz stated that his primary aim was to instill a specific mindset in his listeners, reflecting the outlook Africans should have 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.”
