Popular rapper M.I. Abaga has come out to hail Eedris Abdulkareem, Burna Boy and VeryDarkMan for their shared qualities of bravery and activism. He recently praised Eedris Abdulkareem’s fearless approach to addressing societal issues with his songs.
According to him, Eedris’ hit song “Mr Lecturer” will forever be the epitome of conscious artistry, and he won’t forget how almost everything the artist was putting out became a chorus on the street back in the day.
He added that the impact Eedris Abdulkareem had with his music back then can be compared to what Burna Boy is enjoying nowadays.
His words, “It’s a different thing when you are a young rapper and you look up and you see Eldee The Don. Then there’s Ruggedman, who brought a new flay to the rap industry. There is also this guy called Eedris Abdulkareem. He was just like Rema.
When you see Rema now, that was the energy that Eedris had back in the days. He was the Burna Boy of then.
Rema has it but now that I think about it, I would say Eedris was more like Burna and VDM.
He would just say a thing and put it out there and everybody will be singing it. He has a song called ‘Mr Lecturer’ and so many other conscious tracks.”
WOW.
