Egalitarian,
who has grow into something of a household name in contemporary Gambian music,
has spoken of a burning desire to improve his academic credentials, which by
his reckoning would give him more musical depth to excel in the local and
international music scenes.

to school and acquiring higher education standards would bode well for his
success as a singer, according to the rap artist who successfully worked on a
release intended to coincide with the 14th Anniversary celebration
of the July 22 revolution two weeks ago. He said musicians should be keen on
knowledge which they could use to help chat and influence the direction society
was going to take in these trying times when ignorance and lack of wisdom was
causing conflicts and untold quandaries for the teeming masses of the world’s
population.
“My other
immediate ambition is to plan press releases’ to keep my fans as cheerful hostages
to a combination of good lyrics and sensible sound bytes. I am on the verge of
releasing something new for them in the not be patient he told this medium,” he
told Entertainment.
Speaking to
Entertainment recently, Egalitarian
said that he just returned from a concert tour that took him to Benin, Togo and Mali where his electrifying performance
had endeared him to thousands of adoring young people. He was one of two
musicians invited to the tour to help bring home to many the facts about child
rights and their implications for not only children but also the adult world
where such issues are often sadly misunderstood forgotten or neglected.
Egalitarian also had positive words for the country’s leader President Jammeh
who he described as an unwavering pan Africanist with a corrective agenda that
looks beyond his country. He expressed appreciation regarding President
Jammeh’s decision to invite Aura- Artist to celebrate the July 22 Revolution in
the truest spirit of African brotherhood.
