Burna Boy
Burna Boy switches from the fun and good vibes of ’Killin’ Dem’ to a more intense, socially charged narrative in his new single ’Dangote’.
The afrofusion artiste addresses a number of the economic problems the youth in Nigeria face on a day-to-day basis and how they deal with it. Two things set apart this video, directed by Clarence Peters, from the others. Firstly, we see these stories told from the perspectives of the people living these lives and the consequences of their actions.
The video which is socially charged with the life of the everyday Nigerian. Twitter went crazy with the memes and other posts about the song;
As Burna Boy sings about the hustle in true Fela style, we are taken from one story to another. The hustle must go on, but we also need to be aware that for every action there is often an equal and opposite reaction. We also appreciate the saxophone solos at the end, paying tribute to Fela.
