Afrikan Boy boldly addresses the on-going issues facing migrants in his latest release “Border Business.” The rapper highlights the social and financial struggles that surround immigration by delivering his rhymes from the perspective of a Nigerian immigrant in London, “I’m still a refugee, slave to the currency that deceives me” raps Afrikan Boy.
He goes on to express the hardships of having an unfavorable, low-paying job and describes feeling like an outsider in his new home. “When immigrants come to the UK, most of them are willing to work jobs that British citizens like myself are not willing to do. The lyrics to ‘Border Business’ are just about representing that point of view,” mentions the afro-grime MC. The song is colorful and upbeat despite its heavy subject matter and ends on an optimistic note, “never be afraid to live your life, life is a blank check and I’ll sign it how the fuck I like.”
