After years of building a loyal underground following with his ingenious freestyles and comic skits, Falz officially steps into the limelight with his debut studio project, “Wazup Guy: The Album,” released in 2014. The 19-track project introduces Nigeria to “Falz The Bahd Guy,” a rapper, comedian, and storyteller all rolled into one.
Tracks like “Wazup Guy,” “Hold Something,” “Toyin Tomato,” and the breakout hit “Marry Me” have become instant fan favorites, while “Oh God” and “Senator” reveal to his new audience a fearless observer unafraid to call out hypocrisy and societal irony. Meanwhile, “Jessica” and “Right Now” also reveal he has a flirtatious side.
“Wazup Guy” is the blueprint for personality-layered rap in Nigeria. Over a decade later, the album still stands as the moment Nigeria met one of its most original storytellers in hip-hop.
