Falz’s “Talk” from his 2019 album Moral Instruction, is a direct and forceful critique of corruption, hypocrisy, and poverty in Nigeria. The song addresses issues like jungle justice, unemployment, and a lack of security, questioning the government’s promises. The song’s vibe is serious and impactful, utilizing a beat reminiscent of Fela Kuti’s Galala/Afrobeat riddim.
