MULA BY CARTUN
“Mula,” scheduled for release on November 27 across digital streaming platforms and his official social media channels.
“Mula,” a pidgin English slang for money, explores themes that extend beyond financial wealth, touching on ambition, survival, freedom and the everyday struggles people face in their pursuit of a better life.
Cartun describes “Mula” as a reflection of the realities of the hustle and the determination required to improve one’s circumstances.he said it represents more than just the cash in your pocket. It represents survival, ambition, freedom, and the everyday hustle people go through to make life better for themselves and their families,” he explains.
Linking it using the case study of the Nigeria people.
in our nation the hustle is real. Everyone is struggling and hustling daily to have a better life. Working and having money helps make life easier, affording basic necessities, security, peace of mind, and take care of ourselves, family and friends.
Having MULA for some Nigerians, especially those living in Lagos, means waking up as early as 3am, being on the road by 4am or 4:30am and being lucky to get home by 11pm just to work and get their daily bread. For others, it means opening a small business, learning a skill or trade, or trying to work and earn online.
Mula is more than just a song about money; it is our reflections as Nigerians. Our sacrifice, resilience, hope, dreams, goals and our everyday struggle to make life better.
As Nigerians, we can easily relate with how important MULA is to our survival. It is our driving force that helps us focus despite the hardship of the nation.
For example, I am a graduate who is still looking for work. If I have money or funds, I could have easily started a business, but now I have to hustle very hard for a job to get money. Even those doing business struggle due to the high cost of living.
For us as Nigerians, money is not about living a luxurious life; it is about surviving, security, freedom and being able to afford the basic needs of life. Everyone wants to hustle so that we can move from managing to enjoying the goodies of life because we have worked hard for it.
