A certain confidence grows when one stops chasing validation and starts building legacy, and that’s exactly the headspace M.I. was in when he crafted The Chairman.
Across the album, he plays with duality, flipping moods and sounds as if he’s showing listeners the two sides of every decision a leader makes.
What’s beautiful is how honest the writing gets. Tracks like “Human Being” peel back the curtain, reminding fans that even the biggest names hurt, break, and doubt. Then you move into records like “Bullion Van,” where the energy shifts into pure swagger. It’s a balance only someone who has lived the highs and lows of fame can pull off.
The features help shape the world of the album. From Sarkodie to Olamide, Patoranking to Nosa, to Frank Edwards and even Eben, each guest adds a new color without drowning M.I.’s voice. Everything fits into a bigger picture that speaks of growth, authority, and evolution.
