Super Kena – My Village People Ft Dizo West (Music Video) Review
Ah yes, Village people, the most abused phrase in African music and everyday arguments, Anytime life punches you, suddenly it’s witches, uncles, aunties, and imaginary night meetings under mango trees, So when Super Kena drops “My Village People” featuring Dizo West, you already know what box this song is walking into the superstition box. The real question is: does it escape it, or drown comfortably inside?
Let’s start with the concept.
“My Village People” leans heavily into the idea that unseen forces jealous relatives, fake supporters, silent enemies are behind personal setbacks. It’s a familiar narrative, especially in the streets. The song doesn’t try to reinvent the belief; it amplifies it. Loudly. Repeatedly. Almost aggressively.
Now to the music video.
Visually, the video does a decent job setting the mood. Dark tones, serious facial expressions, symbolic shots that scream “something is after me”. It’s not a blockbuster, but it’s not lazy either. The directors clearly understood the assignment: paranoia, tension, and suspicion. And to be fair, the visuals help sell the message better than the lyrics alone.
Super Kena’s delivery is intense. You can feel the frustration in his voice the anger of someone who genuinely believes forces beyond him are slowing his grind. Whether you agree with the belief or not, the emotion feels real. And authenticity counts. You don’t doubt that he believes what he’s saying. At all.
Dizo West, on the other hand, brings balance. His verse feels calmer, more reflective, less emotional panic and more street wisdom. He doesn’t overdo it, which is smart. His presence keeps the song from sounding like a full-blown conspiracy meeting.
But here’s where we need to be honest.
The lyrics fall into repetition. A lot. We get it village people are bad. They don’t want you to win. They talk. They plan. After a while, the message stops developing and just circles itself. The song would’ve hit harder if it explored how to rise above that paranoia instead of bathing in it.
Also, there’s a thin line between spiritual awareness and accountability dodging and this song dances dangerously close to that line. Not every delay is witchcraft. Not every failure is a relative. Sometimes it’s discipline. Sometimes it’s strategy. The song doesn’t challenge that reality at all.
That said, in terms of street relatability, this will connect. Deeply. Many listeners will feel seen. Others will feel validated. And that’s exactly why this record will move numbers.
Final verdict?
“My Village People” is emotionally charged, visually solid, but conceptually safe. It feeds a popular belief without questioning it. If you’re in your feelings, this song will hit. If you’re looking for growth or perspective, it might just keep you comfortably blaming shadows.
