What better way to envision liberation than to direct a music video highlighting some of the creatives spear-heading one of the most liberated movements in Lagos?— Jess Chibueze
"Energy (Stay Far Away)" is Skepta's 2018 single featuring arguably the biggest artiste out of Africa, Wizkid.
The song is an ode to maintaining good vibes in the city of Lagos and the perfect way to sonically embody the mood of "liberated". If millennials and Gen Z in Lagos had a liberation playlist, this song would definitely make the curation.
