Wednesday, December 3, 2025 • Duration 06:38

On this episode of The Artiste Hangout Podcast with Femi Makx, we dive into Shallipopi’s highly anticipated Auracle album. We discuss possible challenges including oversaturation, repeated formulas, album bloat, feature-heavy tracks, and shallow songwriting. Then we explore the exciting potential with standout songs, the Laho series, and collaborations with Burna Boy, Rauw Alejandro, and Gunna.

We predict how Auracle could impact Shallipopi’s career, expand his global reach, and shape the Nigerian and international music scene in 2025.

Why Nigerian Artistes Are Speaking Out on Insecurity and Kidnapping

Season 4 · Episode 21

Saturday, November 29, 2025 • Duration 05:21

Explore why Nigerian artistes such as Davido, Rema, Falz, and IllBliss are using social media to highlight insecurity across the country. This episode breaks down kidnappings, ransom trends, and the critical role of celebrity voices in shaping national awareness.

We examine why artistes are speaking out about insecurity and how their online reactions reflect the growing crisis in Nigeria. While not a deep dive, the discussion provides an accurate, surface-level understanding of verified incidents including kidnappings, bandit attacks, and rising ransom demands. Analysts now describe these trends as the economy of insecurity.

The episode shows how artistes leverage their social platforms to raise awareness. They are not profiting from these crises but amplifying updates, responding to attacks, and drawing attention to the kidnap-for-ransom epidemic. Documented posts and public statements from Davido, Rema, Falz, IllBliss, and others illustrate this pattern.

Listeners gain insight into how repeated attacks across multiple states, increasing ransom payments, and widespread fear have created a criminal ecosystem that functions like an economy. The conversation also explains why artistes feel compelled to speak publicly and how their online responses influence national awareness.

Mavo fans won’t like this but someone has to say it.

Beyond Music: Power, Policy, and Youth Voices in Nigeria

Season 4 · Episode 16

Saturday, September 20, 2025 • Duration 14:58

An artiste can sing, sure. But in our world today, being an artiste goes beyond music. Anyone with a message of value has a song, and that song does not have to sound like Drake, Beyoncé, Tems, Wizkid, or Davido. Your truth can be your song. Your hustle can be your song. That is why on The Artiste Hangout, we are not just spotlighting emerging artistes. We are amplifying voices with something meaningful to say.

This podcast is usually about music and artistry, but sometimes we need to step back and look at the bigger system that shapes every opportunity we fight for: governance. Whether you are an artiste, producer, or young hustler, the policies made in Abuja ripple down to how we live, work, and create.

In this episode, I speak with Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, Executive Director of CISLAC (Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre), about why youth participation in governance is not just a political matter but a survival issue. With more than 60 percent of Nigeria’s population under 25 and young people still sidelined in decision-making, the gap between policy and reality could not be clearer.

Rafsanjani explains how digital activism, civil society, and grassroots pressure are forcing the doors open for youth inclusion, and why staying silent only guarantees exclusion.

If you have ever wondered why your voice feels unheard or why the hustle in music and beyond is so tough, this conversation connects the dots between governance, opportunity, and the future young Nigerians deserve.

This One Is Personal by Tiwa Savage Podcast Prediction

Season 4 · Episode 14

Thursday, August 28, 2025 • Duration 03:49

This one right here is personal……

Tiwa Savage is about to drop her new album and I’ve got some thoughts. From the title alone you can already tell it’s not just music, it’s a statement. In this episode I break down what this project could sound like, why it feels different from her past albums, and why it might even be the most important one of her career. It’s a prediction, but it’s also a conversation about growth, legacy, and how Tiwa continues to set the pace in Afrobeats.

Big shout to Tony Doe—he’s that veteran Nigerian broadcaster and podcast coach who hosts The Tony Doe Podcast and Into The Podverse. His intro and outro here set the tone right because you know the guy understands storytelling and audio vibes.

In this episode, I sat with Toni and Kalhm to talk about something a lot of people have been noticing — gospel music is starting to sound like everything else.
