‘African Giant’, the first track on the
album perfectly paves way for listeners
to familiarize themselves to the rest of
the 18 tracks on it. He blends genres to
achieve international appeal with a little
dose of dancehall in it to spice up the
already addictive tracks. What a better
way to enjoy the summer with romantic
tunes like ‘omo’, ‘secret’ with traces of
sexual intensity with your lover. With
help from other artistes like Future,
Zlatan, M.anifest, Jeremih etc introduces
his collaborative side with rich African
beats and rhythms.
In comparison to Burna boy’s previous
album which he described it as a mixtape,
this was more personal according to an
interview with Billboard magazine. He
talks about politics and religion where
he touches on corruption. ‘Collateral
Damage’ criticizes his people for being too
fearful ‘we fear the thing we no see’. Thus,
the fear is being transferred to children
and the youth. ‘Another Story’ portrays
his country being cheated even after
independence ‘since 1961 them dey show
wayo’.
He informs people that he is ready to
stand up for himself and his continent
with ‘Destiny’ and also motivates the
listeners to do same. Enjoy ‘killin dem’
whilst dancing away to worries and the
rest of the beautifully composed songs on
the album AFRICAN GIANT.
