Known for weaving clever lyricism with humour, social commentary, and relatable storytelling, the award-winning artist explores different sides of his craft on the project. “Break Time” sees Falz effortlessly switch between hard-hitting rap verses, infectious Afrobeats rhythms, and Afro-fusion influences, creating a sound that feels both familiar and refreshing.

Across the EP, Falz touches on a range of themes, from personal reflection and ambition to relationships and everyday experiences.

While each track tells its own story, the songs come together to form a cohesive listening experience that showcases the rapper’s artistic growth and willingness to experiment.

The project also benefits from many guest appearances, with Oiza x Meyi, FirstKlaz, Priesst, and Kurdi Klymax each bringing their unique styles to the record. Rather than overshadowing the host, the collaborations complement Falz’s delivery and add new dimensions to the EP.

Production is another strong point throughout “Break Time.” Crisp mixing, layered instrumentation, and polished arrangements allow every song to breathe, while blending contemporary Afrobeats with hip-hop elements to create an engaging sonic experience.

Beyond the catchy beats and memorable hooks, the EP is anchored by thoughtful songwriting that reflects Falz’s knack for connecting with listeners through honest narratives and culturally relevant themes.

With “Break Time,” Falz once again reminds fans why he remains one of Nigeria’s most respected creatives, delivering a concise yet impactful project that comfortably earns its place among this year’s notable Afrobeats and hip-hop releases.

Priesst – Akonuche Lyrics

I go cut my coat oversize this year
I no waka reach here just to waka reach here
And if the tables no turn me
I go change chair
Wetin dem go talk, I don’t care
God dey my side, I no fear

I go waka with Akonuche
Pass Ebuka, I stubborn (Stubborn, stubborn)
Leave shame for back like bumbum
From Abuja to London
This year dem go know say I don come

Smart work, no be agidi
Las Vegas, no be Lasgidi
Vision sharp, you go dizzy
If na useless waka, mo busy
I don wicked now, sho ti ri n si?
People bad, na the reason
Since 2015, I’ve been singing (Agba singing)
You sef try if e easy
E go xup like dream when you sleep, I swеar to God almighty
Popsi go show in a brand new truck with my mummy in a GLC
Before I find wеtin I see, mouth no fit talk wetin I see
From this year, talk to me nicely
Put him as the supremacy

Go ask Ebuka, I stubborn
Leave shame for back like bumbum
From Abuja to London
This year dem go know say I don come
Pass Ebuka, I stubborn
Leave shame put for back like bumbum
From Lasgidi to London, eehn
This year dem go know say we don come

Beyond its message, the track stands out for its infectious rhythm and memorable lyrics. The production is lively and energetic, making it almost impossible to stay still while listening. Each verse carries conviction, reflecting Priesst’s passion for her craft and her ability to connect naturally with listeners.

The buzz around “Akonuche” began well before its official release, with fans drawn to its relatable themes and festive-ready vibe. That early excitement has only grown since the song dropped, reinforcing its potential to resonate widely.

With this release, Priesst continues to prove her inventiveness and consistency, strengthening her position as one of the bright talents shaping Nigeria’s evolving music scene.
