The rising Nigerian Afrobeat artist MC Shocker shares emotions, prayers, and personal growth in a five-track project, Was Once In Love EP.
Nigerian singer and rapper MC Shocker is back with a new Afrobeat EP titled Was Once In Love, and it is a project that speaks directly from the heart. With five tracks, MC Shocker takes listeners on a clear journey through love, heartbreak, self-belief, and faith in God.
The EP is easy to understand, emotional, and relatable, especially for young listeners who are learning about love, disappointment, and hope.
This EP is not about fancy words or complicated ideas. Instead, MC Shocker keeps things simple and honest, making it easy even for a 15-year-old girl to understand the message behind every song.
The EP Was Once In Love contains five tracks:
Naysayers (Intro), Why, Light, Omomi, and Got You.
Each song feels connected, like chapters in one story. Together, they explain how love can hurt, how people can disappoint you, and how faith and self-confidence help you move forward.
MC Shocker completed the entire EP in just four days, handling everything himself. This shows how personal the project is. It is not rushed but rather driven by strong emotions and determination.
Naysayers (Intro): Setting the Mood
The EP opens with “Naysayers (Intro)”, which prepares the listener for what is coming. This track feels like MC Shocker speaking directly to the world. He lets us know that people have doubted him and spoken badly about him, but he is still standing.
As an intro, it does not tell a full story, but it sets the mood. It tells listeners that this project will be honest, emotional, and real.
Why: Questioning Heartbreak
The second track, “Why”, focuses on heartbreak and confusion. MC Shocker talks about being left by someone he loved without any clear reason. This is something many people experience, especially young people dealing with their first heartbreak.
In the lyrics, he asks:
“You no tell me sey you gonna leave me baby, why did you go?”
This line is very simple but very powerful. It shows the pain of not getting answers. The song is about asking questions that may never be answered and trying to understand why love sometimes ends suddenly.
Light: Faith Over Negativity
On “Light”, MC Shocker changes direction. Instead of focusing only on pain, he talks about faith, prayer, and ignoring negativity. He makes it clear that people who want him to fail will not succeed.
He sings in Yoruba:
“Ki lo de na, ton fe pana… won o le mu mi”
This means he is asking why people want to bring him down while confidently saying they cannot stop him. This song teaches a simple lesson: when you trust God and believe in yourself, negativity loses its power.
Omomi: Love and Affection
“Omomi” is a softer, more romantic track. Here, MC Shocker confesses his love for a special lady who means a lot to him. The song shows a gentler side of the artist.
He sings:
“Not my fault if I complain too much, but you know I love you so much.”
This song explains how love can make people emotional and expressive. It is about caring deeply for someone and not being afraid to show it.
Got You: Promise and Commitment
The final track, “Got You, ends the EP on a hopeful note. MC Shocker sings about staying loyal to the woman he loves and wanting to make her happy.
Lyrics like:
“I want you to be my own… I want make you happy”
Show commitment and assurance. This song feels like a promise and leaves listeners with a positive feeling.
Was Once In Love is a strong Afrobeat EP that talks about love, heartbreak, faith, and growth. MC Shocker’s mix of English and Yoruba makes the songs feel real and cultural. Influenced by Olamide Baddo, his sound is simple, emotional, and grounded.
