Single: Chairman (M.i)

After a brief time away from the music scene, M.i released 'Chairman', a rap song with a danceable afro pop tune that will surely appeal to mainstream listeners.

We at BLAZEaMIC though feel the track was subpar…and here's why.

LYRICS:

M.i's either losing his X-factor in the rap game or is just getting lazy. He relied heavily on punchlines packed into his two verse flow that didn't really connect with us. Compared to the depth of his lyrics on his first album 'Let's Talk About It', most lines on this track were just corny and insipid.

"My album sell so acapella…Nobody can beat it"

BEAT:
Either the Choc Boy label wants to create a signature Afro tune or they straight up need more producers. We'll lean back and assume that the song was chosen with Naija distributors and Club goers in mind.

HOOK:

We've grown used to hearing M.i sing the chorus of his tracks with sometimes favorable results. His attempt on this track was similarly good (when compared to his other attempts) but we firmly believe that another vocalist on the hook would have been a breathe of fresh air.

SUMMARY:

M.i does it again with this see-me-too track, but compared to his high standards and previous songs, Chairman was just below average

RATING:
Subpar
