HIS friends know him as Omar Zulfi, but behind the microphone the Winnipeg rapper goes by the name Lyrical Militant with a modus operandi of drawing attention to social ills and global issues. Zulfi issues a call to change the planet and start the healing on the soulful Humanity’s Tragedy, delves into pop on the inspirational Never Give Up, draws attention to materialism on Big Dreams and mixes Middle-Eastern melodies with contemporary hip hop on Nach Le.
Over the course of the 16-track album — the first of a planned trilogy — Zulfi is joined by a collection of top-notch producers, including DatPaki, Muneshine, Banz and Lomaticc who craft a diverse collection of beats and backing samples while guest vocalists like Flo, Dele O, Jahgo and Kapone provide the hooks on this professional sounding collection that could easily fit in on Top 40 radio and serves notice the revolution is coming. Three and a half stars
