  • Super Balat features Reminisce on ‘Local’

    In a bid to draw attention to local talents in the country, budding musician, Super Balat has featured Reminisce on his new song, ‘Local.’

    According to him, ‘Local,’ produced by Puffy T, illustrates how Nigerians don’t appreciate indigenous materials and talents.

    “The brain behind this song is that Nigerians don’t celebrate their own talents, and what they have,” said Super Balat who recently released the visuals to his trending song, ‘Mama.’

    “They will later appreciate when the whole world is celebrating the talent. Like Anthony Joshua, the great boxer who is carrying Nigeria flag at the moment as far as Boxing is concerned at the world level, people initially didn’t appreciate his talent, until he gets to the top.”

    On why he featured Reminisce on the song, he said; “Reminisce is an artiste I respect so much. He sings with our indigenous language; which a lot of people would say is local. So that is what brought the idea of the song. Nigerians must appreciate and celebrate what they have.”
