M.I records tribute song ‘Ashes’ for ALUU 4

Self titled Africa's Rapper No.1 Jude ‘M.I‘ Abaga has released a tribute song titled ‘Ashes‘ to ALUU4, the four University of Port Harcourt students who lost their lives in Aluu community, Port Harcourt.

After publishing an article berating the act, M.I goes on to deliver some of the most touching lyrics he’s ever written on the four minute song.

The J Town rapper has in the past always condemned violence.

"4 young men died at the hands of a lynch mob
on the 5th of October 2012. Whether or not their deaths will mean anything, or fade out of our minds as just another meaningless tragedy, is up to us and what we do from here on.

I hope this song captures that message. Nothing would be worse than for a death to mean nothing. Nothing".
