In an appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Eedris Abdulkareem stated that he doesn’t fancy working with most artists in the current generation as they aren’t conscious enough.
The veteran rapper described Falz as the only conscious artist of his generation and the only person he is interested in working with.
Eedris Abdulkareem’s statement resonates with his stance as a conscious artist who used his music to shine a light on societal ills. At the height of his powers in the 2000s, Eedris Abdulkareem recorded smash hits like ‘Mr. Lecturer’ which brought attention to the ills of sexual assault in Nigerian universities. Eedris narrated that the 2002 record was inspired by the experience of a Unilag undergraduate.
