Gen. Sadiq cuts through the noise with "Had Enough," a no-holds-barred anthem that almost sounds more like a call to arms than a single. It is a wake-up call sheathed in a rhythm that seizes you by the collar and shakes you. Born Abubakar Sadiq Abdulsalam, Gen. Sadiq is no ordinary artist. Claiming the space he creates with his music as "Rebirth in mind," his sound fuses hard-hitting Hip-hop with the exhilarating Dancehall pulse. But it's not just about genre-busting but about truth-telling. In "Had Enough," he's telling the truth many are too afraid to voice.
"Had Enough" sets an intense, urgent, unrelenting tone. It is a protest against the brutal truths millions face across Africa, voiced with a poet's calm composure and a revolutionary's fervor. Gen. Sadiq's flow is raw and reflective as he toggles between pain and power, the one mirroring the other as he narrates the fallout of failed leadership and the systemic chains that still strangle initiative across the continent. There's just raw, unfiltered emotion. You can hear the frustration in every bar and the defiance of a generation no longer content to keep quiet and sit pretty.
It's an audio snapshot of the African struggle but is also a mirror for anyone who has ever felt forced to the brink. Set to a beat that blends urgent percussion with haunting melodies, "Had Enough" raises stakes. Gen. Sadiq is asking you to feel, think, and act. For listeners of conscious music with a global heartbeat, this is not as much an aural experience as a travelogue. Gen. Sadiq has landed, not to joke but to explode. And if "Had Enough" indicates what's to come, the revolution may have a new soundtrack.
