Regarding Nigeria’s economic situation, Falz acknowledged the prevailing hardships and expressed a lack of surprise, given the unfolding events since the current administration came into power.

Overall, Falz’s latest EP represents a strategic shift in his musical narrative, setting the stage for a new phase in his artistic journey while reaffirming his commitment to addressing societal issues through his platform.
