Song of The Week: ‘Boosit’ – Cobhams ft Falz

The song, released two years ago, takes on unjust treatment and societal injustice in family, relationships as well as in governance, in a rather comical manner. Falz passes the message of the song with rhymes and lyrics in his signature accent, while Cobhams Asuquo attempts to imitate a typical Ibadan accent. Cobhams is one of the most respected music producers in the country. He has churned out multiple award winning hit songs, both as an artiste and as a music producer. Falz is a celebrated rapper who uses his music not just to entertain, but to address issues affecting the Nigerian masses. He is a lawyer by training, but is better known for his music and “Bahd Guy” accent. With Falz and Cobhams together on any project, you are guaranteed to laugh your lungs out. This classic single was released in April 2016, produced by the music honcho, Cobhams
