In a powerful departure from the often-rigid portrayals of manhood in hip-hop and Afrobeat, music artiste VagorJack is redefining masculinity with his latest track, “No Man Behind.”
The song is making waves by championing solidarity, shared struggle, and a nuanced understanding of resilience, challenging the long-held notion that strength lies in dominance and emotional suppression.
“The traditional perception of masculinity, often rooted in hyper-independence and emotional suppression, has left many struggling in silence,” he said.
VagorJack’s track serves as a vital counter-narrative, fostering a sense of brotherhood and shared experience.
“No Man Behind” is deeply rooted in VagorJack’s personal experiences. Having faced personal losses and responsibilities from a young age, he understands the importance of resilience as a collective journey.
By advocating for a more inclusive and empathetic understanding of manhood, VagorJack’s “No Man Behind” is not just a song, but a call to action, urging men to redefine strength through connection and shared resilience.
