Falz, now popularly known by industry watchers as a ‘Music Activist’, had earlier hinted fans that he would release an album titled ”Moral Instruction” on January 15.

He said of the album, “There is a dire need for us to redefine the concept of humanity and morality.

“There is a pressing need for re-education and re-orientation of the people, for this is the only way we can restore sanity.”

Falz, a lawyer turned singer, began his professional career as a music artiste in 2009, and currently owns an independent record label called Bahd Guys Records.

He is the son of Femi Falana (SAN), a Nigerian human rights activist and lawyer.

The music artiste came to limelight after his song “Marry Me” (featuring vocals from Poe and Yemi Alade) won him a nomination in the “Best Collaboration of The Year” category at the 2015 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.

In 2018, Falz released a controversial audio/visual song “This Is Nigeria”, a mock-up of American rapper Childish Gambino’s “This Is America”.

It addresses societal issues prevalent in Nigeria, including police Special Anti-robbery Sqaud brutality, codeine abuse, and killings in some parts of the country.

The video of the song highlights the nation’s issues especially violence and corruption in politics, policing, and religious bigotry.
The song was, however, banned by National Broadcasting Commission.

@falzthebahdguy is lowkey doing what Fela did in his time “Challenging the Government” while the ones who claim “Afrobeat” is their life and that Fela is their mentor are busy smoking weed and singing about body parts. #Talk https:///ZELxbMYwRG

1. Falz is not a selective font size activist.
2. Falz is the closest artiste to Fela we’ve seen since the legend’s death.
3. Falz is a national treasure and must be protected at all cost!#Talk

You see what Falz is doing with his music? Speaking for the people, addressing issues in the country.

But the other guys think being Fela is about going topless and smoking cheap weed

Fela is in a league of his own.It is grossly ludicrous to compare anybody with fela.Fela vehemently spoke up against the atrocities of the government in a military regime when freedom of speech was stifled.It takes a lot of balls to toe such a path.It is a shame that in a democratic setup we are in where freedom of speech is irrefragable,Our so-called celebrities and other personalities of lofty status prefer to kowtow to whim and caprices of our corrupt leaders in exchange for pecuniary gains.
The youths who are touted as the leaders of tomorrow are not any different.They have availed themselves as instruments in the hands of our odious politicians to perpetrate their skulduggeries.They is why they will continue to remains leaders of tomorrow instead of positively influencing the running of affairs of the state.There is really an exigent need for political awakening.
Kudos to falz for constructively railing against the atrocities of our government and other societal malaises."Talk" epitomises what Afrobeat is about.
