RAPPER LOKAL SHOCK CHANGES NAME TO FAVAH
Lokal Shock Now “Favah”
Multiple award winning musician, Lokal and Shock Empire on Friday, December 16, 2022, announced to the general public that, as part of their efforts to give the rapper a new face and brand, his name has been changed from Lokal to Favah.
The name Favah which translates to mean Favour was chosen as a true representation of the brand.
According to his management, they realised that, the name LOKAL didn’t feel right anymore and was not an accurate adumbration of their artiste and his music.
Shock Empire by this release, urges the general public as well as fans of their Artiste to take note of this change.
According to Counsellor Suleman Dadzie, the Public Relations officer at Shock Empire, the name of the artiste on all digital stores and social media would be changed to accommodate the new name.
Lokal now “Favah” remains focused in his quest to churn out good music and kindly implores the public to support his journey
