Ethiopian rapper and reggae artist Pamfalon is suddenly everywhere again, and it’s all thanks to his recent deep-dive interview on the popular Wechew Gud podcast. While Pamfalon has always been respected for his raw, conscious lyrics, the interview has sparked a massive rush to his back catalog, specifically propelling his classic track, "Habeshawi," back into the trending lists.

 
Fans are calling it a much-needed reminder of his pioneering role in the Ethiopian music scene. Pamfalon, who is known for blending Hip-Hop and Reggae with a powerful, honest look at modern life, used the podcast to share his unique journey and outspoken views elements his audience rarely gets to hear so directly.

 
The interview's appeal isn't just about music; it's about the honesty he delivered regarding his time living in Germany and his perspective on the state of contemporary Ethiopian society. His willingness to speak plainly on topics that others might avoid struck a chord, cementing his status not just as a musician, but as a cultural commentator. This rare glimpse into the mind of the artist is what ignited the social media conversation and drove fans back to stream his older hits.

 
The conversation clearly resonated, as it sent listeners scrambling to revisit the lyrical skills he’s known for. "Habeshawi," which celebrates Ethiopian identity and culture, is the perfect throwback, and its sudden renewed popularity proves that for real talent like Pamfalon, the best songs truly are timeless. It seems a new generation is finally catching up to the pioneer who was simply ahead of his time.
