Speaker 1 (01:20):
New York does too. By the way, I don't know what,
nothing much you got into.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't know, because I've been visited shopping here and
I've not really seen anything.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I think.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I feel like because I'm tall, I don't really find
things my size. But then in like l A and Pirates,
I really find like stuff that I could wear.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Okay, fine, fair, I'm a fan of vintag shopping in
New York, but I like accessories, shoes, bags, maybe not shoes,
but definitely bags, wallet, scarfs, jackets.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I got a fire like jackets. I'm a big like
jack like this one. I love it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So I'm not going to peace. Okay, anytime I want.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
To, like you know, pop up, So talk to me
about just like your musical background. I know you're born
in Nigeria and raised in Nigeria up until.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
How I was born and raised in Nigeria till like
pretty much my whole life. I only moved to the
U kid twenty twenty one, oh and raised in Nigeria.
Was born in church, grew up in church. You know,
my mom had nine aunties, certain ninet sisters, I say
(02:37):
nin nineties. I had nine nineties basically, and they were
all in the choir. My uncle was a pastor. My
other uncle was a drama in church, so.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Literally your whole family was very We made up the
whole church. Actually, we could even start that if you
wanted to.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
That's fire.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So grew up like that, so I was pretty much
exposed to music already from a young age. So I
kind of like just spelling love with it, you know,
listening to my auntie singing every morning, and my uncle
played the drums in chudge, you know, my other uncle
preaching and stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So you're always around it. But did you ever sing
or like learn instruments.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yes, at some point I go into the choir and stuff, okay,
you know, but then I figured out I can't sing
really much, so I started playing drums. I started playing
drums when I was like seven years and then played
drums till like I was seventeen. That's when I started
making beats. So I stopped playing drums and then just
focused on making beats.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Insteady fire, Okay, So all right, you know what, now
that I know that you lived in Nigeria that long,
that makes sense. Your logic makes sense based off of.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Your circus exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I'm like, oh, yeah, you stayed there until you was grown,
all right, but honestly, now, now you could low key say,
because you're probably going to spend the same amount of
time you spent in Nigeria in London, so low key
you're gonna be from both places equally.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
No, God, I don't think. I don't think so. I
don't think. So. I can't say I'm from London. I
really can't.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I can't say I'm from England because I don't really
know much about England.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I don't know the history of England. I don't know
really much about that.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But that's maybe one I could tell you something about,
like growing up there, Like the culture there is different.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Everything is just different.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Even way I talk, it's different from you know how
growing up in the UK is I would have an
accent like I might a just but I don't have
that thing. I have like my nager and accent everything,
So yeah, it's different.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay, now that makes sense. So you started making beats,
and is we're making beats? Were brought you to London
or like, like what was the transition for that?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes, started making beats and come to London was kind
of like I just wanted to like explore more because
I'm always making afrobeats, and I've always been, like, you know,
a fan of like the London music scene, like listening
to people like Gigs, Skepta and my Halia are all
those people, And I was like, I want to get
into like other stuff to like try to do some
(05:15):
rap stuff, try do some R.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And B stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Did you try rapping?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
No? No, I don't rap.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I could rap though, maybe if someone writes something, maybe
if someone does something. M Yeah, well yeah, moving to
London was basically just trying to like expand my sound
and just trying to like show that I could do
other things other than afrobeats and just kind of like
learn also because like with the work I do, like
(05:43):
making beats, when you work with different people.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You're also learning to as well, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So it was kind of like also a learning person,
I'm just trying to like expand myself as a music producer.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, Fire, So you grew up primarily listening to afrobeats
or were you listening to all different genres growing up?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Like in your upbringing, I listened to pretty much everything.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
My mom used to play love with me Houston, you know, Tenatana,
David Bowie, Michael Jackson. So my mom was like really
up there when she was like listening to music. So
when I started listening to aphabeits was in twenty seventeen. Literally,
what I can't lie to you.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'm so shocked.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean, like me picking up my phone, I saying
I want to listen to Whiskey or I want listen
to David or these guys. Was twenty seventeen. Normally I'll
hear like my other friends played for me, and I
was like, that's hard and stuff, Like I was just
listen to Drake and Jacob back then.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I'm cracking.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Literally, I listened to Drake, Jacob Black everybody like that's
what I used to listen to. And then I go
into aprobits because when I started making beats, I used
to make trap beats. Yeah, because learning off you to
you only see like a little trap tutorials. Back then,
there wasn't really anything about afro beats. So I learned
how to make trap beats first, and then I listening
(07:09):
to like morefro beats and started to get into like
the whole vibe of like making some of my pro
beat stuff fire.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Okay, so you really have a love for rap, You
really have a love for pop, rap, everything.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
And everything even rock like led Zeppelinto Crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Interesting, Okay, I feel like you can really well, okay,
what is like if you have to say, like a.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Top five top five artist of all time just.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
For you, like your personal top five, my.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Personal top five, I'll say Michael Jackson number one, that's great, definitely,
Drake number two.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Okay, Dake number two, number three? Well, what you say? No,
I have no problem.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh, Michael Jackson, Drake, Queen's.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Like, we will rock you Queen.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, wow, Queens.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I love them. Queen's I like, but I think week Houston.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I don't know which one? What? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Okay, yeah, actually, oh.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, sorry Tina, Sorry with me, all right. I always
feel I feel like you can tell a lot about
a person based off of like their top five what
you value. It's like when men tell me, like they
(08:56):
love future, I'd be like concerned a little.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Bit because picture it is hard.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah. I think it makes a good music.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
He makes good music, But like I don't. I don't
like listening to rap too much. Yeah, that's why I
like Drake because he has like a blend.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Oh my god, get away from it. You can push
a second to the conversation, like, oh my god, you
still like Drake after the year he's had. What happened,
y'all didn't see the rap battle, But Drake is always
going to be Drake to y'all. Like, y'all like Drake
(09:33):
because he gave you all that TV show. TV show
is the Top, Uh top boy. It's good. I like
the show.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
But even though he gave us a TV show, one
of them. I mean, I just like his music. Man,
he's actually he's project more life was one of the
reasons that actually go into making beats as well.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So that's international project. Yeah. He did a good job
breaking sounds.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, so he was like he's he can blend. He's
like a chameleon. He can like pretty much like do anything.
That's why I feel like he's top dead. Okay, Kenrick
is hard. Yes, Well, I don't think Hendry could jump
on our pros.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I don't think so. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That's just my own opinion. I don't know jump on
I don't know how it sounds like, well drink probably
is that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I don't know. Maybe y'all should work together and figure
it out. Sure, I think I think he could do it,
But Okay, so Peanut Colada out now with Blast and Aria.
I love Love Love Aria Love Ira Irah Irah. I'm
still saying it.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Wrong, he said, he said, Ira Irae Ira Iris.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Sorry, I'm terrible cool but I love her. How what
was it like working with both of them?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I mean, me and Ira go way back already. Black
It was our first song together, literally, and you know,
me and Ira worked on the song when we won
and like this isn't called debty December in Nigeria and
in Ghana.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, Okay had a great time.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So yeah, we were in December in Ghana and I was.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Just like, oh, let's make some music.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So we made Pinnaclada amongst like other stuff that we
worked on to as well. And I remember she was
like she needed like someone else to come on this song.
And my boy Forward Slash, who is black like producer,
you know, I sent it to him and it was
like Black really loves it, so he wants up on
it and literally like two days Black since his verse.
(11:45):
Mind you, this song has been done like for like
two years now, for a year and some months, but
you know it's just been sitting there. Everyone's just been
trying to figure out Okay, who's gonna drop it?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Is black?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And I was just like, you know what, I'm just
gonna drop it myself, man Like, since you guys are
still trying to figure out I can't wait for you
guys to just do this and then ten years after
the song doesn't come out, let's drop it out.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, song sounds good.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
We just did a remix to as well, a Latin
remix with this artist called Bile from Columbia is really
doing well to as well. You know, it's an amazing record.
You know, so many super excited first of many.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
So talk to me when it comes to like stepping
into being artists versus being producer, because I know you
have a deep history of producer for artists, But like,
was artistry always something on your heart or was it
more like the more you got into it, the more
you saw more and started doing more.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like from being a producer on watching like other artists
do their thing, I feel like it was kind of
like a learning period for me, just like taking everything in,
like watching from behind the scenes, just seeing how everybody's
doing what they're doing. So it kind of like inspired
me to want to like be an artist too, like
seeing them going for like meetings saying, oh, I want
(13:07):
my video to look like this is having their cover
arts and everything having a.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Brand as well.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's like I want to do that too, THEMN. Why
can't I be talking about how my music video should
look for my own beat?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You understand me?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So I feel like that's one of the reasons why
I wanted to be an artist. Also is because I
want to be involved in like the whole process when
it comes to like music, not just me making the beat,
like even to like the songwriting, like have a conversation
with the artists and be like, yo, let's talk about
this on these beats, and let's shoot the music video
like this. Like it's all about having full control over
(13:42):
the craft. For me, that's really one of the main
things that you know, has driven me to be an
artist right now.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I love that it's like executing the full vision. Yeah,
because I feel like sometimes, I mean, I'm not a producer,
but I can only imagine you probably already hear a
hook in your head and then like someone comes and
might not do I'm just.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Like and then the shot was like I wish this
video looks like this instead.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Man, So now I have like the whole creative controls
to just do what I want to do. I literally say, okay,
I don't want the artist in the video anyway, that
just wants to be me.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Do you let other chefs in the kitchen even when
you're cooking?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah? Yeah, definitely definitely.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I'm very big up, like you know, when it comes
to collaborating, you know, like I can't have all the
ideas well, understand me. So the song pinocolat right now,
Me and Forward Slash did it, you know as well
my boy aod two he plays the guitar. He did
some extra things to So I'm very big up black
Oh please.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Can you help me do this? I have this idea
send you please for me, you understand.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So yeah, of collaborating, okay, talk to me about how
did you connect with Ford Slash and like all these
other musicians because he's US based, right, how are you
guys connecting?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Internet? Man?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Instagram? You know, Twitter?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Everything everything is like crazy, you know, and I feel
like from like when I've been dropping songs, you know,
I always get dms from like different people or Hi,
your stuff is dope, I mean too as well. Also
reach out to people and be like well, I really
like you know, your music and everything, so like the
internet is really like the place.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
To work right now, literally like everything just one d
M and way, just send that DM. You don't know
who's going to respond.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Shoot your shot, Shoot your shot.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Bro Okay, yeah that makes sense. So the singles out?
Are you working on an album already? Like how how
new are we into this artistry? Or are we late
and you already got projects like done?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
What's still fresh into it?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Like literally like I've been working on songs and it's
just trying to like figure out how now I want
to like.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Put it out.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Do you understand what I'm in because like I have
these songs ready, but then it's like creating a world
for each you know, I don't want to just put
out songs like I know I'm a producer, but then
when it comes to like the artist side of things,
like how I said like having full creative control, I
also want to give you know, like your full art project.
Let you know, just be beats, good sounding songs, like
(16:18):
the visuals to have to be crazy, ought to absolute nice,
like everything like the marketing, the role are everything else
to like be fresh? So right now is just figuring
out how to like start, like you know, it's like
playing cards, like you kin'd of give out your your
full move immediately AFL like just like be smart with it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, and where do you even begin, because you come
you're just a melting pot, you know. Like the fact
that you have a Colombian remix already, I'm actually shocked.
I wuess I heard it. I went to Brazil for
the first time, and I love, love, love Brazilian funk.
Is it is it kind of like on that tip.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, yeah, but I got I have a resident fronk
song too as well. On the project was like a
mixture of Brazilian funk. So with the project, I'm also
trying to like bridge worlds together, so like have like
you know, Brazilian funk sound.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
But then it's like RN be infused. Just me. It's like, okay,
what's this.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Normally Brazilian phonk is like hard knocking drum like crazy
as some melody that, but then having a Brazilian phone
drum and then maybe like some irn B guitars or something,
and then the singers like singing really smooth and I.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Got to hear it now I can't.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
But yeah, I have that.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You know, I have a couple other stuff to have
some more Latin stuff to as well. I really love
the Latin market, like you know, what they're doing is
really crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I want to want to jump into more hip hop
stuff to as well. You know, I've been working with
the Beam and if you know Beam, yeah, Beam is
really hard. You know, been working on some stuff too
as well. So yeah, so you know, just been locked in.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Bridging walls together, that's dope.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We need more of it. So that's fire, all right.
On the show, we play a game called Questions that
Need Answers. All you gotta do is fell in the blank. Okay, okay,
the older I get the less I.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I'm going to ask you a question, but you have
to finish the sentence.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Okay, the older I get the less I. I don't
know what the answer answer to that question.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, it's just personal.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Don't I get the less I. I'm trying to think
what to say this thing. Did I get the less I?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Eat? Not eat? Did I get the less I? The
less I? Cowboy? Bullshit?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
See everything? Now we're getting into it. Yes, Okay, that's
a good one.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Less bullshit.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Okay, you would never believe me if I told you.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
If I say, because I said it already, but you
never believe it if I told you I came from
nothing and now something.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Literally you came from nothing. You don't strike me as
you came from nothing. You just said you had like
a whole church, family environment, but nothing.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Nothing, nothing, literally nothing.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I thought that Jerior is like, I don't know everybody
everybody's juris like, so that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Like this this this misconceptional about Ninetia. Yeah, everybody thinks
that just Legos. M hm, that's that's the problem. Like
people only go to Legos and say, oh I went
to Nigeria. Like you went to Legos. You didn't go
to casinalw you didn't go to a Bouja, you didn't
go to Calaber, you didn't go to all other places
Like me, I grew up in northern parts of Ningia,
(19:52):
which is like very underdeveloped, not like Legos. Legos is
really developed.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
It was like the most developed city in Nigeria.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Is it developed as like a New York Is it
like a New York city?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I mean there's there's a lot of skyscrapers in Legos. Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I feel like that's the only place I've seen skyscrapers.
Growing up in I didn't really see tall buildings. I
went to Leigos. I remember like the first time I
ever saw like you know, those billboards are like led
was in Leigos and that was when I was like
thirteen fifteen. It was the first time as well. I
was like, that's so crazy.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Niggas is like more developed.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So northern Nigeria is more like country.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
If you want to call it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That is more country. Is it like ghetto like what.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I wouldn't say ghetto.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
There's sometimes that I ghetto, sometimes that I'm nice, and
then there's just sometimes I just like, you know, I
was just like.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
It's just there. It's just signed.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, it's very it's very dry, like it's like desert.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Ribe was like.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Sound really sand like sound like.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
It's just sound like dusty. Yeah, we have this. We
have this time of the year.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It's like we'll call it hammuch time from like October
to like.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Like February or so, and it's just like dusty, so dusty.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Because it's like, yeah, sounds wow. I'm actually surprised I've
never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So it's like really dusty and this song is so hot.
It's so hot out there.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah there, it's they got something going on party. I know,
better go crash it. But okay, so I'm actually curious
more about this growing up in Nigeria now, but I'll
let it go. But yeah, you're right. When I when
I think of my Geria, I definitely think of Lego.
I think Lego is. I think it's just litleus.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, it was like it was like the La of
America as listen, it was like the l Yeah, that
makes sense. That's where all the celebrities leave. That's where
all the actors and actresses are.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
It's like Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Okay, yeah, we're calling Nollywood Nollywood. Yo. They put on
is it Nollywood movie?
Speaker 4 (22:18):

Speaker 4 (25:11):
It's all for inspirational purposes.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Like you know, you know what that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
It's like going to lend stuff and then go back
on your project.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I encourage all my artist friends to do things just
so they can make a song about it. Yeah. I
like the entertainment, but now I'm really going to be
paying attention to like the content of your music. So like, oh,
I know, this is a real ship that really happened.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
You might even say, what what's going on there? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Okay, I like that. Good to know, good nugget to know.
And if you could tell your eighteen year old self

Okay, I like the fit.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, talk to me about what you got on something
you know, not too much, something like what type of
pants are these?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
The rikis yeah, yeah, I love ship and this vintage
black shirt.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Lovely you vintage shop really.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Only in l A and pirates because they have nice
stuff l A and they have.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
New York does too. By the way, I don't know what,
nothing much you got into.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't know, because I've been visited shopping here and
I've not really seen anything.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I think.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I feel like because I'm tall, I don't really find
things my size. But then in like l A and Pirates,
I really find like stuff that I could wear.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Okay, fine, fair, I'm a fan of vintag shopping in
New York, but I like accessories, shoes, bags, maybe not shoes,
but definitely bags, wallet, scarfs, jackets.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I got a fire like jackets. I'm a big like
jack like this one. I love it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So I'm not going to peace. Okay, anytime I want.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
To, like you know, pop up, So talk to me
about just like your musical background. I know you're born
in Nigeria and raised in Nigeria up until.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
How I was born and raised in Nigeria till like
pretty much my whole life. I only moved to the
U kid twenty twenty one, oh and raised in Nigeria.
Was born in church, grew up in church. You know,
my mom had nine aunties, certain ninet sisters, I say
(02:37):
nin nineties. I had nine nineties basically, and they were
all in the choir. My uncle was a pastor. My
other uncle was a drama in church, so.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Literally your whole family was very We made up the
whole church. Actually, we could even start that if you
wanted to.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
That's fire.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So grew up like that, so I was pretty much
exposed to music already from a young age. So I
kind of like just spelling love with it, you know,
listening to my auntie singing every morning, and my uncle
played the drums in chudge, you know, my other uncle
preaching and stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So you're always around it. But did you ever sing
or like learn instruments.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yes, at some point I go into the choir and stuff, okay,
you know, but then I figured out I can't sing
really much, so I started playing drums. I started playing
drums when I was like seven years and then played
drums till like I was seventeen. That's when I started
making beats. So I stopped playing drums and then just
focused on making beats.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Insteady fire, Okay, So all right, you know what, now
that I know that you lived in Nigeria that long,
that makes sense. Your logic makes sense based off of.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Your circus exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I'm like, oh, yeah, you stayed there until you was grown,
all right, but honestly, now, now you could low key say,
because you're probably going to spend the same amount of
time you spent in Nigeria in London, so low key
you're gonna be from both places equally.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
No, God, I don't think. I don't think so. I
don't think. So. I can't say I'm from London. I
really can't.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I can't say I'm from England because I don't really
know much about England.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I don't know the history of England. I don't know
really much about that.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But that's maybe one I could tell you something about,
like growing up there, Like the culture there is different.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Everything is just different.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Even way I talk, it's different from you know how
growing up in the UK is I would have an
accent like I might a just but I don't have
that thing. I have like my nager and accent everything,
So yeah, it's different.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay, now that makes sense. So you started making beats,
and is we're making beats? Were brought you to London
or like, like what was the transition for that?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes, started making beats and come to London was kind
of like I just wanted to like explore more because
I'm always making afrobeats, and I've always been, like, you know,
a fan of like the London music scene, like listening
to people like Gigs, Skepta and my Halia are all
those people, And I was like, I want to get
into like other stuff to like try to do some
(05:15):
rap stuff, try do some R.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And B stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Did you try rapping?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
No? No, I don't rap.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I could rap though, maybe if someone writes something, maybe
if someone does something. M Yeah, well yeah, moving to
London was basically just trying to like expand my sound
and just trying to like show that I could do
other things other than afrobeats and just kind of like
learn also because like with the work I do, like
(05:43):
making beats, when you work with different people.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You're also learning to as well, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So it was kind of like also a learning person,
I'm just trying to like expand myself as a music producer.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, Fire, So you grew up primarily listening to afrobeats
or were you listening to all different genres growing up?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Like in your upbringing, I listened to pretty much everything.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
My mom used to play love with me Houston, you know, Tenatana,
David Bowie, Michael Jackson. So my mom was like really
up there when she was like listening to music. So
when I started listening to aphabeits was in twenty seventeen. Literally,
what I can't lie to you.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'm so shocked.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean, like me picking up my phone, I saying
I want to listen to Whiskey or I want listen
to David or these guys. Was twenty seventeen. Normally I'll
hear like my other friends played for me, and I
was like, that's hard and stuff, Like I was just
listen to Drake and Jacob back then.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I'm cracking.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Literally, I listened to Drake, Jacob Black everybody like that's
what I used to listen to. And then I go
into aprobits because when I started making beats, I used
to make trap beats. Yeah, because learning off you to
you only see like a little trap tutorials. Back then,
there wasn't really anything about afro beats. So I learned
how to make trap beats first, and then I listening
(07:09):
to like morefro beats and started to get into like
the whole vibe of like making some of my pro
beat stuff fire.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Okay, so you really have a love for rap, You
really have a love for pop, rap, everything.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
And everything even rock like led Zeppelinto Crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Interesting, Okay, I feel like you can really well, okay,
what is like if you have to say, like a.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Top five top five artist of all time just.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
For you, like your personal top five, my.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Personal top five, I'll say Michael Jackson number one, that's great, definitely,
Drake number two.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Okay, Dake number two, number three? Well, what you say? No,
I have no problem.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh, Michael Jackson, Drake, Queen's.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Like, we will rock you Queen.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, wow, Queens.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I love them. Queen's I like, but I think week Houston.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I don't know which one? What? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Okay, yeah, actually, oh.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, sorry Tina, Sorry with me, all right. I always
feel I feel like you can tell a lot about
a person based off of like their top five what
you value. It's like when men tell me, like they
(08:56):
love future, I'd be like concerned a little.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Bit because picture it is hard.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah. I think it makes a good music.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
He makes good music, But like I don't. I don't
like listening to rap too much. Yeah, that's why I
like Drake because he has like a blend.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Oh my god, get away from it. You can push
a second to the conversation, like, oh my god, you
still like Drake after the year he's had. What happened,
y'all didn't see the rap battle, But Drake is always
going to be Drake to y'all. Like, y'all like Drake
(09:33):
because he gave you all that TV show. TV show
is the Top, Uh top boy. It's good. I like
the show.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
But even though he gave us a TV show, one
of them. I mean, I just like his music. Man,
he's actually he's project more life was one of the
reasons that actually go into making beats as well.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So that's international project. Yeah. He did a good job
breaking sounds.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, so he was like he's he can blend. He's
like a chameleon. He can like pretty much like do anything.
That's why I feel like he's top dead. Okay, Kenrick
is hard. Yes, Well, I don't think Hendry could jump
on our pros.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I don't think so. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That's just my own opinion. I don't know jump on
I don't know how it sounds like, well drink probably
is that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I don't know. Maybe y'all should work together and figure
it out. Sure, I think I think he could do it,
But Okay, so Peanut Colada out now with Blast and Aria.
I love Love Love Aria Love Ira Irah Irah. I'm
still saying it.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Wrong, he said, he said, Ira Irae Ira Iris.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Sorry, I'm terrible cool but I love her. How what
was it like working with both of them?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I mean, me and Ira go way back already. Black
It was our first song together, literally, and you know,
me and Ira worked on the song when we won
and like this isn't called debty December in Nigeria and
in Ghana.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, Okay had a great time.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So yeah, we were in December in Ghana and I was.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Just like, oh, let's make some music.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So we made Pinnaclada amongst like other stuff that we
worked on to as well. And I remember she was
like she needed like someone else to come on this song.
And my boy Forward Slash, who is black like producer,
you know, I sent it to him and it was
like Black really loves it, so he wants up on
it and literally like two days Black since his verse.
(11:45):
Mind you, this song has been done like for like
two years now, for a year and some months, but
you know it's just been sitting there. Everyone's just been
trying to figure out Okay, who's gonna drop it?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Is black?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And I was just like, you know what, I'm just
gonna drop it myself, man Like, since you guys are
still trying to figure out I can't wait for you
guys to just do this and then ten years after
the song doesn't come out, let's drop it out.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah, song sounds good.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
We just did a remix to as well, a Latin
remix with this artist called Bile from Columbia is really
doing well to as well. You know, it's an amazing record.
You know, so many super excited first of many.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
So talk to me when it comes to like stepping
into being artists versus being producer, because I know you
have a deep history of producer for artists, But like,
was artistry always something on your heart or was it
more like the more you got into it, the more
you saw more and started doing more.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like from being a producer on watching like other artists
do their thing, I feel like it was kind of
like a learning period for me, just like taking everything in,
like watching from behind the scenes, just seeing how everybody's
doing what they're doing. So it kind of like inspired
me to want to like be an artist too, like
seeing them going for like meetings saying, oh, I want
(13:07):
my video to look like this is having their cover
arts and everything having a.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Brand as well.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's like I want to do that too, THEMN. Why
can't I be talking about how my music video should
look for my own beat?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You understand me?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So I feel like that's one of the reasons why
I wanted to be an artist. Also is because I
want to be involved in like the whole process when
it comes to like music, not just me making the beat,
like even to like the songwriting, like have a conversation
with the artists and be like, yo, let's talk about
this on these beats, and let's shoot the music video
like this. Like it's all about having full control over
(13:42):
the craft. For me, that's really one of the main
things that you know, has driven me to be an
artist right now.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I love that it's like executing the full vision. Yeah,
because I feel like sometimes, I mean, I'm not a producer,
but I can only imagine you probably already hear a
hook in your head and then like someone comes and
might not do I'm just.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Like and then the shot was like I wish this
video looks like this instead.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Man, So now I have like the whole creative controls
to just do what I want to do. I literally say, okay,
I don't want the artist in the video anyway, that
just wants to be me.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Do you let other chefs in the kitchen even when
you're cooking?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah? Yeah, definitely definitely.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I'm very big up, like you know, when it comes
to collaborating, you know, like I can't have all the
ideas well, understand me. So the song pinocolat right now,
Me and Forward Slash did it, you know as well
my boy aod two he plays the guitar. He did
some extra things to So I'm very big up black
Oh please.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Can you help me do this? I have this idea
send you please for me, you understand.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So yeah, of collaborating, okay, talk to me about how
did you connect with Ford Slash and like all these
other musicians because he's US based, right, how are you
guys connecting?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Internet? Man?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Instagram? You know, Twitter?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Everything everything is like crazy, you know, and I feel
like from like when I've been dropping songs, you know,
I always get dms from like different people or Hi,
your stuff is dope, I mean too as well. Also
reach out to people and be like well, I really
like you know, your music and everything, so like the
internet is really like the place.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
To work right now, literally like everything just one d
M and way, just send that DM. You don't know
who's going to respond.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Shoot your shot, Shoot your shot.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Bro Okay, yeah that makes sense. So the singles out?
Are you working on an album already? Like how how
new are we into this artistry? Or are we late
and you already got projects like done?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
What's still fresh into it?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Like literally like I've been working on songs and it's
just trying to like figure out how now I want
to like.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Put it out.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Do you understand what I'm in because like I have
these songs ready, but then it's like creating a world
for each you know, I don't want to just put
out songs like I know I'm a producer, but then
when it comes to like the artist side of things,
like how I said like having full creative control, I
also want to give you know, like your full art project.
Let you know, just be beats, good sounding songs, like
(16:18):
the visuals to have to be crazy, ought to absolute nice,
like everything like the marketing, the role are everything else
to like be fresh? So right now is just figuring
out how to like start, like you know, it's like
playing cards, like you kin'd of give out your your
full move immediately AFL like just like be smart with it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, and where do you even begin, because you come
you're just a melting pot, you know. Like the fact
that you have a Colombian remix already, I'm actually shocked.
I wuess I heard it. I went to Brazil for
the first time, and I love, love, love Brazilian funk.
Is it is it kind of like on that tip.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, yeah, but I got I have a resident fronk
song too as well. On the project was like a
mixture of Brazilian funk. So with the project, I'm also
trying to like bridge worlds together, so like have like
you know, Brazilian funk sound.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
But then it's like RN be infused. Just me. It's like, okay,
what's this.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Normally Brazilian phonk is like hard knocking drum like crazy
as some melody that, but then having a Brazilian phone
drum and then maybe like some irn B guitars or something,
and then the singers like singing really smooth and I.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Got to hear it now I can't.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
But yeah, I have that.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You know, I have a couple other stuff to have
some more Latin stuff to as well. I really love
the Latin market, like you know, what they're doing is
really crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I want to want to jump into more hip hop
stuff to as well. You know, I've been working with
the Beam and if you know Beam, yeah, Beam is
really hard. You know, been working on some stuff too
as well. So yeah, so you know, just been locked in.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Bridging walls together, that's dope.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We need more of it. So that's fire, all right.
On the show, we play a game called Questions that
Need Answers. All you gotta do is fell in the blank. Okay, okay,
the older I get the less I.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I'm going to ask you a question, but you have
to finish the sentence.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Okay, the older I get the less I. I don't
know what the answer answer to that question.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, it's just personal.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Don't I get the less I. I'm trying to think
what to say this thing. Did I get the less I?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Eat? Not eat? Did I get the less I? The
less I? Cowboy? Bullshit?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
See everything? Now we're getting into it. Yes, Okay, that's
a good one.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Less bullshit.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Okay, you would never believe me if I told you.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
If I say, because I said it already, but you
never believe it if I told you I came from
nothing and now something.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Literally you came from nothing. You don't strike me as
you came from nothing. You just said you had like
a whole church, family environment, but nothing.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Nothing, nothing, literally nothing.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I thought that Jerior is like, I don't know everybody
everybody's juris like, so that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Like this this this misconceptional about Ninetia. Yeah, everybody thinks
that just Legos. M hm, that's that's the problem. Like
people only go to Legos and say, oh I went
to Nigeria. Like you went to Legos. You didn't go
to casinalw you didn't go to a Bouja, you didn't
go to Calaber, you didn't go to all other places
Like me, I grew up in northern parts of Ningia,
(19:52):
which is like very underdeveloped, not like Legos. Legos is
really developed.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
It was like the most developed city in Nigeria.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Is it developed as like a New York Is it
like a New York city?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I mean there's there's a lot of skyscrapers in Legos. Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I feel like that's the only place I've seen skyscrapers.
Growing up in I didn't really see tall buildings. I
went to Leigos. I remember like the first time I
ever saw like you know, those billboards are like led
was in Leigos and that was when I was like
thirteen fifteen. It was the first time as well. I
was like, that's so crazy.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Niggas is like more developed.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
So northern Nigeria is more like country.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
If you want to call it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That is more country. Is it like ghetto like what.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I wouldn't say ghetto.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
There's sometimes that I ghetto, sometimes that I'm nice, and
then there's just sometimes I just like, you know, I
was just like.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
It's just there. It's just signed.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, it's very it's very dry, like it's like desert.

Yeah there, it's they got something going on party. I know,
better go crash it. But okay, so I'm actually curious
more about this growing up in Nigeria now, but I'll
let it go. But yeah, you're right. When I when
I think of my Geria, I definitely think of Lego.
I think Lego is. I think it's just litleus.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, it was like it was like the La of
America as listen, it was like the l Yeah, that
makes sense. That's where all the celebrities leave. That's where
