From the beat to the lyrical delivery, it stands out as one of the best album openers by a rap artist. The upward trajectory of his career is also highlighted in the track called \u201c<strong>Bigger<\/strong>\u201c, where he teams up with fellow industry heavyweight\u00a0<strong>Olamide<\/strong>\u00a0and America\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Nas<\/strong>\u00a0to deliver a groovy mid-tempo song that is guaranteed to become an anthem of success stories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"10\">If you are a fan of MI, you\u2019d know that as much as he has a strong hold on hard-core rap music, he is also a lover. He gives us further insight into this side of him with \u201c<strong>The Love Song<\/strong>\u201d and \u201c<strong>The Inside<\/strong>\u201c, where he delivers on the passion and intimacy that is expected from love songs, with<strong>\u00a0The Cavemen, Phyno,<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Wande Coal<\/strong>\u00a0lending their unique talents to these songs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"11\">So much can be said about the album, but experiencing the perfectly structured body of work will take you on the journey of the legend M.I. Abaga, who, like fine wine, has evolved into the powerhouse we know as \u201cThe Guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"11\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1560373\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-08-19-at-1.39.11-AM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"11\">Listen to the album below:<\/p>\n<p data-changed=\"false\" data-paragraphid=\"11\">Stream it\u00a0here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.1&appId=1201200913327594&autoLogAppEvents=1\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/starrfm.com.gh\/2022\/08\/m-i-abaga-releases-11th-studio-album-the-guy\/\">Source<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a brief rap hiatus,\u00a0M.I Abaga\u00a0returns with \u201cThe Guy\u201c, an album which lyrically cements his position in the industry as The Guy, The Artist, The Family Man, and Business Mogul.
