Nigerian rapper, MI Abaga, has admitted that his latest album is not mainstream material and that he felt it was “career suicide”.
The ‘One Naira’ rapper released his eighth album on Friday titled YungDenzl: A Study On Self Worth.
In an Interview with Soundcity, MI said most artistes in Nigerian produce club songs and didn’t expect his album to be well-received.
“This album is actually very niche. Right before it came out I felt it’s career suicide because everybody is making songs for the clubs, for the radio.
“This project I felt like I really needed to speak to the kid dealing with self-esteem issues, to the black man that’s frustrated with the world, to the person that’s heartbroken, to the person that’s struggling to find self-belief, to the person that’s dealing with depression,” the Chocolate City boss said.
