Northern Nigeria’s rap scene continues to thrive, and one of its promising voices, C. Dust, has just dropped a powerful new project titled RAP University – The Album under Real Rap Entertainment. This album is a bold statement of lyrical excellence, storytelling, and the true essence of hip-hop from the North.
A Deep Dive Into the Tracklist
The 21-track album is packed with insightful messages, hard-hitting bars, and cultural relevance. It kicks off with “Letter to My State Governor (BAGO Sarkin Aiki)”, a track that seems to address governance and social issues. Songs like “Niger Rap Landlord” and “BINdigan Rap” showcase C. Dust’s lyrical dominance, while “Blood Letter” and “Northern Bullet Proof” hint at deeper themes of struggle and resilience.
The album also features collaborations with talented artists like Teema Love on Arewa Sarkodie, Mickey Deviper on Mayun Kida, and Lil Pee on Rap Soldier. Another notable collaboration is “Muna Can Sama” featuring Ibraheem, adding variety to the project.
Why RAP University Stands Out
C. Dust presents a strong narrative, blending Hausa and English rap styles while staying true to the Arewa rap culture. The project is a must-listen for hip-hop lovers, especially those following the Northern Nigerian music movement. The album’s diversity, from introspective tracks like “Rap Messiah” to street anthems like “Shikenan” featuring DJ AB, proves that C. Dust is here to leave his mark in the industry.
Final Thoughts
With RAP University – The Album, C. Dust is sending a clear message: Arewa rap is alive and thriving! If you’re a fan of conscious rap with a unique blend of storytelling and culture, this project is definitely worth adding to your playlist.
