African Man’s Therapy by King Kead is a powerful and introspective track that delves into the experiences of the artist living in Nigeria. In the opening lines, he raps “this music has been my confidant, cause problem plenty for my continent” and goes further to boldly declare, “I’m African, f*ck I look like going for therapy,” setting the tone for a raw exploration of alternative coping mechanisms prevalent in the African context.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist’s journey, opting for avenues like smoking, visiting strip clubs, engaging in intimate experiences, and seeking solace in religious practices rather than conventional therapy. This narrative sheds light on the unique societal pressures and stigmas surrounding mental health in the African community.
