Reverse Psychology Mixtape Review

 

By Roy OC Chukwu
Kano Rapper, Emmy Flexy who came to limelight in the City and is majorly known for freestyle rapping since the early 2020s has come back

 into the streaming epoch with "Reverse Psychology Mixtape". A mixtape straight from his heart and crafted in his style.
Over the years, Emmy Flexy has gotten more features than singles. This might have been hurtful for him as an all-round artist because his audience might have thought his brand is all about freestyling in events. Hence, this mixtape was well-thought of by his team to give his brand a full artistry of a musician.

"Reverse Psychology Mixtape", an intriguing title for the mixtape, one would think was all about depths and explaining a complex concept in the first glance. Yet, nothing in the two-track mixtape hung around the theme or any of the likes of it to buttress the title concept. Emmy Flexy uses this title to push out two singles still.

'Away', the first track began with a comic string that is similar to the Hausa cultural drums as playful conversations weave through the intro. On this track, he and Karule both struggled to stick to the theme as they rapped about girls leaving their boyfriends to come be with them if they were not treated well. Emmy Flexy delves into dual-role playing on his verse as he leans on the fast-tempo rap instrumental. With the enchanting chorus, Emmy Flexy shines on this track produced by Draco.

On 'Nor Nor' the second track on the mixtape, Emmy Flexy features Skybwoi who gives us the hypeman vibe for club and parties; despite being a songwriter and composer from Lokoja, Nigeria. 'Nor Nor' — a danceable cut, produced by Kloze Beatz, leans on the Nigerian Amapiano to give a Friday-night type of groove. Emmy Flexy's verse gave a similar mood to Falz's verse on 'Squander' featuring Niniola. 'Nor Nor'— a Pidgin vernacular originating from the basin of Nigeria, Port Harcourt drives home the point for cementing this as a party jam

On 'Away', Emmy Flexy and Karule would have refined their lines to have made it a complementary track entirely. 'Nor Nor' a masterpiece for nightclubs has a replay value.
The music cover art however, has an overused feature in the global music industry — the robot–human cover (half robot, half human face) concept.
The mixtape springs from an introspective rap with a pinch of wordplays to party jam in which a story could be built on.
"Reverse Psychology Mixtape", a brand resurrection of Emmy Flexy as this captures how his future body of work would look like depicting his understanding of music projects. Which track is your favourite?
