New Music: M.I Abaga – ‘Everything’

Posted on by
432

With the anticipated release of Mi’s Illegal Music 3 Mixtape, the rapper decided to appease his fans with the exclusive release of one track off the mixtape. The track is produced by G-Plus and MI himself. It’s a pretty deep and thought-provoking track that seems to address quite a few issues.

He starts off, “I have seen the paper turn a man against his maker. Started making bread and now he don’t respect the baker”. “Gotta get a broom I got some roaches in my closet” MI continues as he narrates events that led to him taking over Chocolate City. In a bittersweet tone, he enters the second half of track with a message to both upcoming artists and the ‘Made Men’ by saying “I have seen kings not aware of their successors, waiting in the wings they are blinded by their successes. Cause while I try to give you every detail of my essence, until your time is come you will be blessed within my presence”.

The overall message of this track seems to be that one should strive to live a righteous life because one minute you could be king and the next you could be enslaved to life.

‘I Can’t Marry A Fair Complexioned Girl Unless I See Her Childhood Photo’ – M.I

MI has opened up on his phobia’s ,confessing to Potpourri (Vanguard) in an interview that he lives in mortal fear of fair girls because he believes most of them are not natural. He said before he would take one for a wife he would need to see a picture of her as a child just to make sure she is naturally fair and not artificial. According to him, most girls have bleached their skins for so long that it almost looks natural.He said:

“ Talking about the physical side of what I want in a woman, I want my children to be tall, so, she must be tall because I am not tall. Then I don’t care about complexion. If she
is fair, that would be a problem because I would have to see  her childhood picture to confirm if she’s natural or artificial. Most ladies that claim to be fair or appear to be fair these days get unnatural means to achieve it. So, getting her childhood picture would tell me all I need to know concerning her true complexion”, he declares

He however conceded that he would take in any girl claiming to have got pregnant for him if he has the proof that they have had sexual relations before.

“Yes, if I have a proof that we have been together and done it because I believe that the best way for a child to be raised is for  both parents to be around. Look at somebody like 2Face he has shown love to all his kids and they are very close. Not only that, he has also maintained a good relationship with the mothers. When such situations arise, the best you can do is to make the most of it by staying true to yourself and be fair to all concerned”

When M.I left the music scene five years ago, many indigenous rap acts like Olamide, Phyno, Illbiss and others came up and took the shine and people beign raising up issues of him not wanting their shine .

But just when everyone thought M.I was no longer coming back, he made a rebound with new single, ‘King James’ where he rapped about being the one and only king of rap.

After the song went viral, many attributed the song to mean him dissing other rappers.

But today, Thursday, Oct.10 is Phyno’s birthday and M.I did something most people wouldn’t expect.
