The mark of a good rapper may be in the ability to string cohesive words together to form captivating rhymes, but it’s the ability to weave those rhymes into gripping stories that separates the boys from men. Few rappers are confident enough in their writing to ditch the giddy toasting over party music to pen heartfelt stories, but A-Q spends 7 minutes rapping on his new single, “The PVC Story”, with no cushy hooks. But with a narrative covering several societal issues like terrible government policies, political apathy, depression, drug abuse, rape, political injustice and Nigeria’s security issues, it’s time well spent. A-Q’s rich narrative on “The PVC Story” makes sure the song never gets boring, as he delivers rap bars that listeners can easily picture like a movie while listening.
