In a move to “mobilise people through music”, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have released a hip-hop.
In the song, titled EFF I Trust, rappers Fab Future and Slick Rick touch on issues such as poverty, drug abuse while taking shots at President Jacob Zuma.
“This is for the kids who don’t have any meals, this is real, while you chill at your crib blowing a mil” Slick Rick raps over the catchy beat.
“I don’t accept your apology, my brothers are living in poverty” he raps in reference to Zuma’s apology on the Nkandla matter.
Listen to the song below:
EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said the party decided to release the song as a way to “plug people into conscious thinking” through a popular youth genre.
“The best form of hip-hop is conscious rap. Young people have always listened to hip-hop and now it is being produced and consumed locally.”
He said hip-hop has always been a tool used to enlighten and make people conscious of the political climate and that the song reflected the party’s mantra.
“If you listen to the song – it’s all of the EFF’s policies that the guys are rapping about” he said.
The song comes a week after the party came at rapper AKA for saying he would not perform at EFF and DA rallies which resulted in a back-and-forth between the rapper and Ndlozi.
