Fuji music is a Nigerian music genre that has been known to bring out the parts of you that you didn’t realise existed. Some of you however don’t like to identify with this beautiful genre because you think it’s razz. Here’s 5 ways listening to Fuji music can turn your life around:
- A conversation starter with your favourite street guys:
You can’t appreciate how handy this would be until you’re stuck in a core hood and there’s a street party you’re trying to pass through. If you don’t look like a thug and fear you’ll get looked down on, just raise your head up high and sing along to the lyrics being blasted through their roadside speakers. Next thing you’re being hailed as a true blood.
- Brings out the polygamist in you:
You can’t exactly listen to Fuji and believe in the concept of monogamy. Even the originators of the genre were proud to declare undying love for four women at a time. There’s no judgement here, you can point at your role model and convince everyone why you’re taking your sixty-fourth wife or husband, as the case may present.
- A brilliant way to stay awake:
If you’ve ever had a neighbour that regularly jams to Fuji music, you’ll understand why this is on the list. There’s no way you’ll be blasting Fuji from your speakers and have a good night’s sleep. All your complaints about having trouble staying away will be solved once you know the right mix to play.
- Accepts all your dancing skills:
You don’t need a tiktok tutorial to vibe to Fuji music. All you need is a bottle of gin and energy drink. You can dance all day if you want to, as long as you know how to shake your head. The trick is to keep making head fits and shoulder breaks on a spot. The interesting part is that everyone understands that the more into the music you are, the less it matters if you’re dancing offbeat.
- You might even get free rides in a Lagos bus:
If you ride a danfo and get lucky enough to sit beside the driver who’s giving you back to back solid Fuji mixes, it’s time to shoot your shot and give him more suggestions. Of course, you can’t do this until you’ve played enough to have the voice of an agbero yourself.
If you get beaten by the roadside because you choose the wrong Fuji artiste to support, you’re totally on your own. Streets are hard enough.
