Double M A.K.A. Rap Habalist is an underground Hip Hop Artiste from Northern Nigeria currently based in Abuja. He was born and raised in the educational town of Zaria, Kaduna State. Double M carved a niche for himself as one of the foremost Rap Artiste that was sought after for performances at student shows and award nights back in the heydays of Students Union Government social activities at the famous Ahmadu Bello University where he later bagged a degree from.
His passion for Music began from his Secondary School days in the late 90’s as I observed his style of music was greatly influenced by great Rap Acts like Snoop Doog, Dr Dre, Eminem and a host of some notable underground Emcees like Red Man and Method Man. Over the years Double M has found his rhythm of life in making good music in a genre that remains unpopular most especially among folks in Northern Nigeria.
Nevertheless Hip hop today is without a doubt widely accepted amongst music lovers in the North as some pundits will credit the efforts of ‘Indigenous Rappers’ who deploy the use of local dialects widely spoken in their communities to sing or rap but before the Hausa chanting rap verses and choruses began making waves and domineering airwaves the likes of Double M were there doing it effortlessly and passionately.
Double M is arguably Northern Nigeria’s most underrated lyricist because he maintains a low profile but his outstanding skills on the Microphone won’t shield him from the luring spotlight whenever he grabs the mic. It may also interest you to know that Double M is a bonifide Hausa dude; the Rap Habalist is to Arewa Hip hop what the legendary Mamam Shata is to Hausa folklore music.
‘Jarimi’ is a Hausa word meaning ‘Warrior’ in English. Double M swings lyrical (s)Words on this Boom Bap rap in Hausa language. Don’t worry about an English translation of his punch lines if you don’t understand or speak Hausa. but If you’re a true hip hop head, just knod your head to Jarimi coz it’s a classic material.
