Abaga likewise proclaimed that 2022 has been an extraordinary year for rappers.
When I speak authoritatively about hip hop, it upsets people. I’m MI, and I won’t suffer because of this game or where he is now. It is undeniable. So when I speak, I speak with experience and the weight of my contributions,” he said in a dialect that was a cross between pidgin and English.
“This is an incredible year for the rap kind and that it’s significant. We have been criticized ever since I entered the rap genre. I entered rap after receiving criticism, and people ask me why I did that.
