Hip Hop Music Don’t Last Because Elements Are Taking From Fuji

Adewale Ayuba, the creator of the Bonsue brand of Fuji music, has mocked Nigerian hip-hop artists that use Fuji music as the basis for their songs yet advertise them as being hip-hop.

According to him, some of their songs don’t have a lengthy shelf life because they are “not profound and lack uniqueness,” and when they create songs and people stop listening to them after three months, that indicates that the song lacks the qualities that can make it timeless.

In an exclusive interview with Per Seconds News on Sunday, Ayuba claimed that after listening to several Afrobeat and hip-hop artists’ songs, he realized that what they were doing was taking elements of Fuji music and beats and turning them into hip-hop.

The Koloba Koloba singer lauded Kizz Daniel for bringing a distinctive kind of music to the music industry and claimed that he personally enjoys listening to his tracks since he has been constant in his art and knows what works for him.

“I think we need to really appreciate what the hip hop guys do, they are talented young people and I love what they do but it lacks originality because they are not the creators of the songs and beats they use.

“Some of them sing Fuji music but they call it hip hop and the songs hardly last three months before the people move on to another one.

“I like how Kizz Daniel has been going about his music and paying attention to what works for him. He is going places,” Ayuba told Persecond news.
