LAGOS – Remilekun Safaru, a popular indigenous rapper, has said that he had become rich through indigenous rap music, which some critics have described as “foul and disgusting.’’
The musician, who is fondly called `Reminisce’ by his fans, took to the social network to air his views.
“I don’t think anyone has given indigenous rappers any chance; we took it by ourselves. We just decided among ourselves that we need to make people know what we have to offer.
“Indigenous rappers own the crowd. Let’s be very honest with ourselves, how many people can speak good English in this country?
It’s about the audience affiliating with the artistes who speak their language. It’s not about calling indigenous rappers razz and local.
More people want to be razz now; they think razz is the new cool. Luckily for me, I am selling razz music and I am getting rich off it,“he said.
The “AlagaIbile Star’’, who usually raps in the Yoruba language, also said that his voice was what sets him apart from other rappers.
“I think it’s my voice that makes me different from any other rapper. My voice is my strong point; nobody sounds like me, “he said. (NAN)
