MCM- King of 'What’s up music’
It’s
Monday! And of course, we will love
someone!
In today’s
edition of #MCM, we will be crushing on one ace Nigerian singer, rapper, actor,
writer and lawyer. He is no other than,
Folarin Falana known under the stage name Falz the badt guy. He is talented,
intelligent and classy. He is a badt guy that keeps his fashion game steady and
on a fleek.
Folarin Falana,
the son of Femi Falana, a Nigerian human activist and lawyer, is a Nigerian
rapper, actor, and songwriter. He began his career while in secondary school
after forming a group called “The School Boys” with his friend before his
professional career as a music artiste began in 2009.
Falz shot into limelight after his song titled “Marry Me” (featuring vocals from Poe and Yemi Alade) won him a nomination in the “Best Collaboration of The Year” category at the 2015 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.
He was also nominated in the
“Best Rap Act of The Year” and “Best New Act to Watch” categories at the same
event. He currently owns an independent record label called Bahd Guys Records.
The unique
thing about Falz music is, it is the fusion of comic lyrics with the
contemporary hip-hop in a faux Yoruba accent.
He is the originator and creator
of his own genre of music which he aptly titles ‘What’s up music’. In 2014,
Falz was ranked #9 on notJustOk’s list of “The 10 Most Gifted Rappers in
Nigeria 2014” stating that, “Falz’s ability to maintain a thought and get his
point across in 16 barz while switching accents, infusing funny punchlines and
delivering all of it in a way that makes the listener follow along is nothing
short of impressive”.
As a
talented and award winning actor, Falz won "Best Actor in a Comedy
Movie/Series" at the 2016 Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards for his role
as Segun in Funke Akindele’s TV series "Jenifa's Diary".
In June of
2016, Falz was voted the winner of the "Viewer's Choice Best New
International Act" category at the 2016 BET Awards. On October 27, 2016,
Falz collaborated with Simi to release Chemistry, a 7-track EP solely produced
by Sess.
The EP was released after he had previously worked with Simi on two
singles titled "Jamb Question" and "Soldier".
It is no
doubt that Falz is a multi-talented person who is definitely worth crushing on.
