<p>In the thick of the September-October 2020 #EndSARS protests, Pulse Nigeria did an article around the soundtracks and iconic pictures from the protests. </p>

<p>Nigerian artists like <strong>Dremo, Vector, Dark Poet, Falz </strong>and more had made records about police brutality, but the Lekki tollgate massacre was a moment that really deserves to be immortalized in sonics. A song like <strong>Timaya</strong>'s 'Dem Mama' immortalized the gruesome histrionics of the Odi massacre. </p>

<p>While <strong>Burna Boy </strong>had been obscure at the start of the protests due to what he later suggested to his mom's ill-health, he led the way with '20.10.20,' a record which commemorates the moment sadness of blatant murder by the Nigerian government, which is still disputed till today. </p>

<p><strong>Chike </strong>came second with 'Wahala Dey,' a more relaxed and more emotional take on the matter before Headies-winning rapper, <strong>AQ </strong>rounded everything up with 'Shoot The Messenger.' </p>

<p>Earlier in 2021, AQ released his critically-acclaimed album, <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/review-aq-golden-album/lhwnxe8">GOLDEN</a><strong>. </strong>It was filled with riveting social-political messages and a pungent message around death. But 'Shoot The Messenger' was celebratory, albeit in its dark lustre. AQ is both happy, calm and agitated.</p>

<p>This video bares its lustre and the morose nature of the song's plot.</p>
