Kiing Lu, an Executive Producer, makes his debut with the music project, “Militant Mindset”.Inspired by street pop, hip hop and personal convictions, the tape celebrates a lifestyle of momentum, self belief, hustle and hope.
Diverse talents like Skales, Vector, Odumodu Blvck, Ria Sean, Alpha Ojini, Layydoe, Dapo Tuburna, Dremo, Eugy, Jeriq, Alpha P, Marvio, Sjxy, and Odunsi lend their voices to the project, painting a coherent portrait of an everyday militant – dogged, fearless and passionate about survival.
Opening with Layydoe’s stunning monologue, defining the tape’s ideology, the project’s ‘Intro’ sets the tone for what’s to follow. Skales performs the album’s next song ‘Look at Me’. Here, the subject is self belief and a hustler’s never say die mentality. The album’s third composition expands on the theme of the former. ‘No Apologies’, performed by Killertunez and Odumodu Blvck is a defiant and prophetic piece.
It is a serenade of the light at the end of the tunnel. Kiing Lu, on the tape’s inspiration and vision, comments: “Militant Mindset seeks to disrupt hip hop perception and consumption in Africa.
