now this is not only good music but matured, classy and emotional. Even when he was addressing a woman's body, he was respectful. Artistes don't have to wait until they have daughters to stop demeaning and objectifying women in their songs.

Lord V did a good job but like I used to tell people who care to listen that Kahli Abdu & Jesse Jagz are to me the Nigerian answer to Kendrick & J Cole. #lyrics #truth #hiphop

Used to see this guy as a LauLAu (noisy, wild and of little substance) but shame on me for that. This is the best socially conscious Nigerian song I've seen this year. Surprising it took a non A List artiste to voice the pains of the streets and the ordinary man. (90% of Nigerians can relate to this more than I've got bad *****es, I pop Rozay everyday, my account can buy your own state bullsh**ty cliched songs that floods our airwaves. On replay anytime I go for my 9-5 in this white man's land. lol.

2 things I noticed from the song and the classic video. He respected females. Wasn't acting all typical hip hop-ish I've-got-bad-b****es/pimp s**t thereby portraying African women in a good light. Secondly, he had decent lyrics and a message. Way to go new school Naija Artists, way to go...

I don't need snippets to know this would be a classic. Wish he'd featured M.anifest and Kahli Abdu though, those are my favorite African MCs right now. Lyrics, social messages, change...that's what African youths need. # iAnticipate #

Well, they can pay the bills if they have talent. Asa, Nneka, Timi Dakolo to mention a few are not beggars at least. On the flip side, there are legends that have balanced their albums with songs for the struggles of the Nigerian. Among party tracks in their albums Eldee sang one day, plenty things(trybesmen days), I go yarn...MI did societally conscious songs, Sound sultan, 2face, Eedrees etc. The crop of artistes we have this days just wanna make party tracks full whole album and lyrics no even dey. All about I've gat money, pop champagne, wind your waist, I love u because of your yansh, ur bobbi dey make me craze and so on. The Sonny Okosuns, Williams Onyeabor, Onyeka Onwenu, Mike Okris etc of the 70s, 80s, 90s made party music with lyrics and also made socially-conscious music. A friend of mine said yahoo boys influenced naija music & this started from the yahoozee and Mo Hits days. He compared our case to the segregation of blacks in the States an era into which Hip hop was born before the coke and weed dealers influenced the hip hop scene...introducing and sponsoring music themes of hustling, big money, bad bitches, coke & purple drink etc. As a Nigerian who's living in Europe (I no dey form, na cleaner I dey do here after school sha if u wan know) I once had to translate Skelewu to my white girlfriend, trust me I couldn't. Yes, they'll make money with party tracks. It is good to make money but apart from foreign ppl...how many new-generation-albums are available that one can introduce our young kids to? if it goes on like this, I pity our future. And at the end of the day, it is not about the artistes alone but we the consumers at large. Them say HIV plenty for Africa, rape dey, corruption dey but most of our music somehow promotes it and we all buy and encourage it.
God bless Nigeria.

Just a thought from a random youth who's tired of the recklessness being sold to us...how long will we continue to dance away our sorrows? Nigerians like escape mode a lot...religion, music, sports...etc. it's not that they're not good but they're always used against us with same ol cliches & mediocre contents. Music can change the world, there are hundreds if not thousands of emotions humans express on a daily. Lust is just one, can we just change our themes please?
That said, nice quality video though
