More than 28 years after he ruled the reggae genre with his unique brand of music, veteran reggae musician Ras Kimono, is still ageless and youthful.
In an exclusive chat with The News Guru, he talks about the dearth of positive lyrics in contemporary Nigerian music and also says he doesn’t believe Nigeria is in a recession.
Hear him:”Music of this generation is growing but the only problem is lyrical content. The lyrical content can’t be sustained . If we didn’t sing quality lyrics, we probably won’t be here today.”
When asked about the ongoing economic recession, the Rhumba stylee singer says: “I am not a politician I cannot answer that question, but I think there is no recession.It’s just an opportunity to steal more money.I personally don’t believe in a recession. Every day you go to the streets and see a lot of people spending money and having parties. I don’t believe there is a recession.”
