New Music: Plantain Boy – Mr. Timaya

The Naija music industry’s enfant terrible is back with a new song: ‘Plantain Boy’. Timaya simply refuses to approach any other topic but his rise from Grass to Grace. ‘Plantain Boy’ is still on the self idolatry theme, but with more vivid description this time.

He talks about his rise to music stardom from selling his mother’s plantains on the streets a few years ago, hear him “I’m still that plantain boy/na me be the pikin wey dey give im mama joy/many people see me as a useless boy/ but thank God, today I’m a very big boy/not just a big boy but a very rich boy…”. I actually like the song and find it somewhat inspirational in the ‘We Can Achieve Anything’ sense.

The song is produced by longtime cohort: K-Solo.
