Bahd Guy rapper and entertainer Falz keeps the momentum going with a playful and witty new solo record titled “Telepepe.”
This is one of several new tracks Falz dropped today alongside “Church Mind,” “Na Je,” and “Sound The Alarm.” While “Church Mind” took a more serious and reflective route, “Telepepe” swings in the opposite direction entirely. It’s lighter, more humorous, and built around the kind of playful energy that first made Falz a household name in Nigeria. The title itself is a familiar Nigerian slang term often used to describe someone who talks too much or moves with unnecessary flash. And knowing Falz, he probably flips the word in multiple directions throughout the song.
Falz at His Most Fun
Before Moral Instruction turned him into a full-time activist rapper, Falz was the guy who gave us “Marry Me,” “Soldier,” and a string of comedy-laced hits that dominated radio for years. “Telepepe” feels like a return to that side of his personality. It’s a reminder that beneath the social commentary and political bars, there’s still a performer who knows how to make people laugh and move at the same time. Not every Falz record needs to carry a message, and this one seems content just being entertaining.
Standing Out in a Packed Drop
Releasing multiple songs on the same day is a bold move for any artist. However, it works in Falz’s favour because each record serves a different mood. “Church Mind” feeds the thinkers. “Sound The Alarm” brings the energy. And “Telepepe” catches the people who just want something fun and catchy. That kind of range within a single release day shows an artist who understands his audience is not monolithic. Different fans come to Falz for different reasons, and today he gave all of them something to hold onto.
Why Telepepe Works
The beauty of a record like “Telepepe” is its accessibility. You don’t need to sit down and decode lyrics or follow a deeper message. You just press play and enjoy the ride. Falz has always been one of the few Nigerian rappers who can balance intellect with entertainment without sacrificing either side.
