Monaky is one artist taking years of musical influences to document the story of the average Nigerian experiences. When he made his debut in 2021 with the successful singles ‘The Goat’ & ‘The Suitor’, Monaky’s music shined for its exciting sonic appeal that pointedly reminded listeners of Fela’s Afrobeat, old-school rappers like DMX & Jarule, as well as a sonic texture and technique of Burna Boy. But beyond its sonic richness is storytelling that paints a vivid picture.
With his debut album ‘Patient Zero’, Monaky uses his unique style of music to tell the story of the different realities of average Nigeria. “I like to use my music for storytelling and my album is meant to do the talking for me,” Monaky tells Pulse Nigeria when asked about his absence from the scene and his decision to return with his debut album.
