Folarin 'Falz' Falana took up Rap as a hobby towards the end of his secondary school education. Growing up listening to the likes of Nigerian legends Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Tribesmen, Plantashun Boiz and several other local and international big names, 'Falz' gradually unravelled his talent in music.
He was initially particular about rap/hip-hop as opposed to anything else before he discovered his love for other genres of music. He wrote a few mediocre verses at first, just like any beginner would have, but as mediocrity has never been attached to his name, he soon blew many away with impressive rap performances.
He performed to local audiences and quickly gained recognition far and wide while improving lyrically. His exceptionally unique style differs him from many other modern rappers while giving him the upper hand. Due to this uniqueness, he has not often been compared to other musicians.
Folarin Falz big break came in 2009 with the release of Shakara a single off his Mixtape Shakara in 2009, it received numerous airplays across various platforms on and offline.
