MI & 2Baba Dropped Babylon and I Got Very Excited

by Phil Chard

MI & 2Baba Babylon.jpg

My fandom for Jude MI Abaga is no secret. So when MI teased us the photos with him and fellow Nigerian legend 2Baba earlier in the week I was literally bouncing off the walls with excitement. A few days later MI and 2Baba unleashed Babylon - a powerful and poignant song that speaks of the political and social ills in Nigeria and expresses the level of frustration and hopelessness felt by the Nigerian populace. Sadly this song's lyrics resonate well with so many other citizens of African states.

There is a possibility that Babylon could be the lead single off a collaborative project . I can only hope and pray that this happens..

See proof of fandom below.

@MI_Abaga speaking to me on this song. You are a continental treasure.. One day we shall enshrine your lyrics in museums and marvel
