2. He actually gives a voice to them

Say what you like about his style but Shatta Wale actually gives a voice to the people in those areas politicians quickly overlook. He has on several occasions called out politicians for neglect.

One should not lose sight of what he is saying because of how he says it. After all, if you pick most people fromthe places Shatta Wale claims to represent, that is how they will say it.
