This right here is a very, very meaningful song, speaks to the
exceptionally deep situation with the Nigerian Government that I do not
want to even get into right now. Listen to this one and share your
thoughts; may God help us all.
“We woke up one morning to the news that the Nigerian Senate
was in the process of legalizing the marriage of ‘minors’. The argument
was made that this practice is supported by certain religious beliefs
and as such, not legalizing the practice will be tantamount to
alienating the segment of the population that belong to the same
religious faith. After all the hullabaloo about the issue that saw a lot
of online petitions and the like, we have since moved on from the
subject.
An occurrence that was widely covered in the media earlier this
week however brought the subject to the surface again. A Yemeni girl
aged 8 died of internal bleeding after she was violated by a 40 year old
man who had married her. YC, a budding rapper that’s been enjoying some
level of renown lately for his works such as ‘Pass me’ and ‘Smile on
Me’, decided to take up this issue and more on this socially conscious
song which he titles ‘PIP’.
While other rappers have taken for granted, the power of their
craft using it instead to scramble for the number 1 spot of an
‘interesting’ list compiled by one of the popular blogs, YC has chosen
instead to use his skills to address this issue and hopefully leave a
positive mark on the state of affairs of the country as he spits “I
never really used to care about these things but I ain’t even 21 and
I’ve already seen things/seen a girl’s future, taken without an option.
tears drained from her body like fat in liposuction”.”
