He mentioned that the books, when published, would be archival materials due to the cultural colouration embedded in his songs.
He added that the book will be ready in six months time.
In his remark, Lawal expressed the readiness of the state to support the initiative which will be highly beneficial to Ogun youths.
Lawal who went in company of executives of the APC Youth League as well an upcoming hip hop star, ‘Prince Hardey’, sought empowerment opportunities for the youths.
