Lagos local street icon and sharp lyricist Davolee is back with a nasty new track titled “Cunny Man”. The new drop comes at a time when fans are looking for authentic storytelling in the face of actual truth.
There is always a trickster out there, and street life in Nigeria requires that people stay alert. Thus, the artist uses this platform to deliver a cautionary message about street karma and greedy mentality. He goes on and on about how a trickster will eventually find someone sharper. But this is a very familiar tune for anyone attempting to keep pace with the daily hustle in Lagos.
The beatmaker makes a really catchy mid-tempo groove with acoustic guitar strings and continuous drum loops. He also adds a warm bassline that glides perfectly under the main theme, keeping the pace upbeat. But the instrumentation is clean and wide, so the voices have space to just direct the listener. It’s a very quiet setting where the story can be the star, and this beautiful layout is part of that.
Davolee delivers his signature passionate delivery and huge street presence on the tune. He flows with full assurance on the mellow tempo, expressing true emotion on his Yoruba rap lyrics. And his distinct vocal texture makes the whole record sound quite comfortable and conversational. His lines are spoken with a gentle rhythm that makes you take in every word of his story.
The song lyrics are about street smarts, revenge, and the price of playing dirty. Meanwhile, he sings of a criminal who tries to cheat his pal, but loses everything. The moral message is immediate since he spits his bars in a very plain and straightforward way. His superb storytelling is a stark message to everyone who values fortune more than real loyalty.
The low-back, Afro-fusion production is a fantastic complement to his unvarnished lyrical approach. The music is a wonderful combination of parts to make a highly rewarding street hymn that frees your mind. The last melody is a powerful piece of music that demonstrates his development.
So, make sure to include this touching tale in your morning motivation playlist today. The warm sound is now accessible on your favorite digital music platform.
