Addressing Pressures Unspoken is an interlude by up and coming rapper Majessty who says he was inspired to speak about his mental health struggles by boxer Tyson Fury. He speaks about the societal "timeline" pressure inflicted on young men between the age of 20 and 30 in terms of career progression and settling down. He opens up in particular about the struggles of a young rapper trying to find his footing in Nairobi's concrete jungle while remaining authentic to their message/themselves.
