Ace Nigerian singer and rapper Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has released another thought provoking single titled “Talk”.
‘Talk’ is a song that addresses the state of affairs in the country as well as advises the youths to be wary of ‘greedy politicians.’
As with his song ‘This is Nigeria’ and with the 2019 elections approaching, the artiste once again uses music to address political and social issues in the country.
He lambasted MURIC over the case filed against him last year for his song, ‘This Is Nigeria’ and how they allegedly didn’t show up in court.
The rapper also did not spare politicians, about whom he said, “Four year tenure, three year holiday”.
He addressed the fact that the Nigerian Youth Service programme still pays #19,800 in 2019.
The lawyer turned musician went on further throwing barbs at Church leaders who say they got a private jet for the church. “Three private jets, You say you buy am for church Eh eh, You say you buy am for church, But your congregation no dey follow fly am of course” Falz raps.
Talking about corruption in the country, he condemned the jungle justice meted out to thieves in the market while the same is not done for the ‘big man’ who steals public funds.
The song urges everyone to speak up as well as he has said his piece.

In 2018 Falz released a controversial audio/visual song “This Is Nigeria”, a mock-up of American rapper Childish Gambino’s “This Is America”.
It addressed societal issues prevalent in Nigeria at the time including SARS brutality, codeine abuse, and killings in some parts of the country.
The song got a lot of people talking but it was banned by the National Broadcasting Commission.
