Eedris Abdulkareem returns with a new version of Beg Your Papa, a hard-hitting protest track aimed straight at Seyi Tinubu. It is a street-level message about the money struggles of everyday Nigerians, and it uses the son’s closeness to power as its starting point.
The song is a direct challenge and a plea. Eedris does not sing with hate. He sings in the voice of the streets, asking Seyi to look beyond the comfort of power and speak honestly to his father, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In fast Pidgin English and sharp Lagos street talk, he paints a picture of rising prices, long fuel queues, and the daily fight to survive. His message is that Seyi should use his influence for more than personal gain and “beg your papa” to review policies, feel what ordinary people feel, and ease the load on the country.
The sound is heavy and urgent, mixing boom-bap hip-hop with old-school Afrobeat horns. A deep kick and snapping snare sit on a rolling bass that gives the track a marching feel. Loud, Fela-style brass and sharp synth hits cut through and add tension.
If you like politically charged Nigerian hip-hop with strong Afrobeat flavor, this one is for you. Download Beg Your Papa by Eedris Abdulkareem and hear his take.
