Serere laye yii serere
Serere laye yii serere
Ahhh ahhhh ahhhha haahahaha
The End!
Broda Shaggi seems to be really active these days in the music industry and he has been releasing rather indigenous Yoruba songs. Over the last few weeks, Broda Shaggi has proven that he is not only talented in comedy but also in music too.
The song starts with an array of instrumentals producing a unique sound. Followed by Broda Shaggi's beautiful vocal intro, we love how the intro of the song starts, we could not have asked for a better intro.
The song preaches "doing good". He encourages us to use our YOLO (You Only Live Once) to make sure we impact positively in society.
Broda Shaggi keeps up surprising us with his vocal prowess. We loved his vocal rendition throughout the review of the song. His performance managed to draw us into the song.
The melody of the song is without equal. Broda Shaggi has been on a Brymo type of vibe recently and we love it. The melody of the song is tuneful and memorable. We enjoyed the Alternative Rhythm and Blue genre of the song and the strong influence of the Yoruba Language/culture.
The only shortcoming of this song is that this beauty was sung just in Yoruba, hence, many will not be able to appreciate the lyrics. However, songs like this are best sung in Yoruba, that is when you feel the profoundness of the song. Ironic, right?
