Ruggedman is back and this time he is speaking for oppressed police victims.
The 4mins 13 seconds video showcases the rapper lending his bars to the protest against police violence and gross abuse to human rights as captured by the recent social media campaign under the hash-tag #EndSars.
The #EndSARS campaign which went viral late last year and attracted not just local but international uproar called for the scrapping of the anti-robbery squad due to their high-handedness, intimidation, unwarranted arrests and allegations of murder.
The music video opens with Dolapo Badmus, Lagos Police Command Public Relations Officer stating the manner by which arrests can be carried out. This is quickly followed with images of Ruggedman walking on the streets with his phone and getting stopped by members of the dreaded SARS group building up to his verses.
Ruggedman rolls back the years with his delivery and meaningful lyrics. The music which samples a popular gyration classic tune matches up with the scenes quite well, attention was paid to the blend of costumes as the rapper wore a white top amidst police officers dressed in all black.
Ruggedman seems to want to reinvent himself as the O.G who chips in on social matters and this looks good on him. While the first verse is dedicated to police brutality, he does well by capturing the state of the society on the alternate verse.
