So Phynophonia has been on for a bit and a half
now with the release of his debut album, No Guts
No Glory, which was launched few weeks ago.
As much as his album has been suggested to be a
part of schools curriculum just to depict the level
of talent this Eastern born act has stored in him,
almost all the tracks on the album is a hit but the
particular one that stands out and has garnered
massive airplay is the Track, Alobam.
Though fast gaining popularity, what is amazing
about the track is that it is in the Musician’s
mother tongue, which is his niche anyway, but all
tribes seemed not to mind as they nod their head
away to the track even though unbeknown of
Alobam , an igbo phrase, is coined from the word
‘armed robber’. Now i know what youre thinking
but calm down, thats not the meaning.
Figuratively speaking, it denotes someone you can
go the extra mile with, your ride or die. It is like a
code of conduct for people who don’t snitch on
each other.
It is a street slang for your best friend who would
have your back at all times.
Kinda Cool.
So if anyone calls you their Alobam, you should be
honoured.
Have anyone like this in mind? Comment below.
