5 Ways Falz Is Fixing Up MI, Vector, Olamide, Phyno And Reminisce On “This Is Nigeria”
By hajit ( CEO Naijawavy)
Artistes like Falz excite me. With each new song released, you can feel how much further the music craft has progressed.
The consistency of his artisan-ship has left him almost blameless and without fault in an industry where pundits have decried the depreciating state of hip-hop, colleagues now charging one another to fix up and fans caring any much less what each new season brings as we transition through eras in music.
In this equation of events that has revealed utter confusion and uncertainty amongst our so-called creatives, Falz happens to be the variable that remains constant.
I’m especially ticked by his recent release for Childish Gambino’s This Is America, which was impressively covered in a visual performance now christened “This Is Nigeria “, and so I share some lessons to learn from it.
1. There Is Nothing Wrong In Doing A Cover
More of the flack Falz got for his visual cover was the fact that it wasn’t an original idea. Seriously.
How some people chose to dismiss all the genius-ness that was put to show and rather focus on Falz’ sampling and adaptation of creativity, it beats me.
What then is the concept of musical covers if not to characterize a trend, sound or topical issue with self-expression? In my opinion, covers are like a test of creative strength.
They challenge you to think differently while attempting to alter the creator’s original concept. And Falz nailed it big time. Or atleast so I think.
2. International Recognition Doesn’t Only Come From Collab
