Walk us through the steps you take to create a track. What is your creative process?Do you happen to just walk into the studio and throw some beats on until one sticks? Or is there a more delicate process involved? 

A:

It varies depending on how I’m working.

Sometimes I may find someone on Instagram playing the guitar and ask them if I can sample them because I felt something. Send it to all of the producers that I work with and see what they come up with. Sometimes its me writing in a dark area, pacing back and forth, with my eyes usually looking around, as if I’m in search for the words literally. And sometimes its me under pressure trying meet a deadline, coming up with gold.

A:

I never thought about not doing this so I have absolutely no idea and I also don’t even want to think about it.

Omari Night

Q. Give us a general description of you as an artist. What cultures and experiences cultivate this persona or identity of yours?

A. When it comes to creating music Iʼm really honest about what I say. The goal is to make you feel every word that comes through your speaker. I tend to lean more towards melodic sounds that really hit like a Trap/Soul sound. Iʼve always been a night person & really intrigued by the moon & owls lol. So those things kinda tied into the creation of my persona.

Q. Where does your music come from? What is the main category it would fit I nto?

A. It comes from Cleveland, Ohio. I played different instruments since I was a kid so I always had an ear for music. Then when I was 15 I started recording, engineering & producing everything myself. My main genre would be R&B.

Q. How would you describe your music to somebody?

Damn idk lol. Iʼve heard my sound is like Bryson Tiller, Tyus & of course OVO.

Q. What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening?

If you have consistently good content, are relatable & a good image people will gravitate towards you & stick around. If you like music you can ride to, vibe to or have a one on one night with bae, Iʼm your guy.

Q. Who inspires you for your sound?

A. I would say a lot of 90ʼs & 2000 R&B. Partynextdoor, Frank Ocean, Drake, Tory Lanez, Chris Brown, The Weeknd & Usher.

Q. Who do you listen to on a regular basis?

Iʼve been listening to a bunch of different artists lately. Recently Roddy Rich, Tyus, Vory & Kehlaniʼs recent project has been on rotation .

Q. Do you have any artists that youʼve been working with? Is there anybody you would have as a feature or collaborate with on a future project?

A. Yeah my go too producers I work with closely such as Addy!, Sample, BVLVM & Santino. Iʼve been workingwith a rapper named Cargo Xan a lot, heʼs from Cleveland as well. I wanna work with more Cleveland artist & also other artist I mess with like DazeOnEast, Majilla & Jxdy Hill.

Q. What platform can people reach your content on themost conveniently?

A. My SoundCloud has all of my music & links to everything until I put my website back up.

Q. What albums and songs do you already have out thatpeople should listen to?

A. Just Fine is the first project I put out back in 2016, then Just Fine 2 in 2017. So I would say In that order & then all my singles.

Q. Is there any one song that youʼve made that stands out from the rest?

A.Control & Love Me Crazy are waves of mine. I produced both. Love Me Crazy I tried to get to Chris Brown for his album Heartbreak on a Full Moon, but someone who I wonʼt name who wasnʼt Chris Brown was being difficult. But itʼs all love weʼll work in the future.

Q. How has your experience in the industry been thus far?

A. Pretty good. Iʼve been given a few opportunities for writing work & have been incontact with label A&Rʼs.

Q. Tell us a bit about your newest project and what we can expect from it.

Iʼm finishing up a EP to drop right after the Big Racks Video & then either an album or another EP after that. I think both projects will speak for themselves.Expect good music you can really feel & relate to.

Q. Do you have any last thoughts before the end of the interview? Any message you really want to get out to the people and your fans?

I just wanna thank every single person who supports what I do whether you know me personally or not. That shit means a lot foreal! No matter what anyone tells you always believe in yourself first! Iʼve been through the self doubt & depression. Always remember to keep your head up & keep pushing for what you want in life!

Yuko Yokio

Q. Give us a general description of you as an artist. What cultures and experiences cultivate this persona or identity of yours? 

A. I guess I would describe myself as a visionary. The words I say and the aura that comes off me reflects in my songs and is put onto the listeners. I’ve often had people, sometimes total strangers, tell me that the energy I give off is something they can’t ignore. I feel as though me and the art I create are very vehement. I like to utilize different genres, sounds and words to create my own genre that I call “cosmic sound”.

Ever since I was younger I’ve always been surrounded by music and art. My mother specifically, has created my passion for music. I often have dreams and visions of certain out of body experiences. I also have spoken and interacted with entities in my dreams and I often talk about that in my songs.

Q. How has your experience in the industry been thus far? 

A. It’s been really good! I’ve been soaking and enjoying the moments. I started with no followers on Instagram or SoundCloud, and I started to gain traffic. It’s been really nice to see all the people that support me and share this journey with me. 

Q. Do you have an outstanding moment since you got into the music industry that makes you realize how important it is to make music like this? If so what would that be? 

A. The most impactful moment that showed me that music is my true passion is when a girl on Instagram did a guitar cover of my song “Superman”. It literally brought me to tears to see her post. Me and my friend Evan watched in awe as she played the notes to my song. Another really big moment was when my song “Aphrodite” hit 10k on SoundCloud. That seriously hit home for me and made me motivated to put out more and to keep going strong.

Q. What do you think personally sets you apart from the rest of your peers in the music industry? What do you bring to the industry that you believe no one else has the ability to bring? 

A.I would say my lyrics and sense of style that I bring. Everyone can say some words but it’s about how it’s said and the delivery and I feel my sense of catering to songs sets me apart. Also my choice of instrumentals. Me being influenced by artists from a multitude of different genres, it has allowed me to fuse and mesh those into something unique. Anyone can see my lyrics and rap then or sing them, but no one can do it like Yuko.

Q. Is there any one song that you’ve made that stands out from the rest? Any songs that people should listen to that will get people hooked? 

A. Music that has been released I would say my song “Superman” or  “Palestine”. But a lot of my unreleased music that I have made are mind grabbing in their own unique ways.

Q. What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening? 

I think my personality is refreshing. Seeing a kid that is their age and goes through the same emotions and experiences, I feel they can relate to me. What keeps them even more is the fact that my unique way of showcasing myself makes them feel like they know me on a personal level. The music I make and the things I say create a relationship with my listeners. 

Q. Who do you listen to on a regular basis? Are these the same people who inspire your sound? Or are there other factors that come into play? 

My biggest influencers and role models are the people I listen to and observe everyday. All of them are creators but not all of them are musicians. People like Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator, Kanye West, Jaden Smith, Billie Eillish, Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino; are just a few musical artists that inspire me. Some other ones are Virgil Abloh,  Takashi Murakami, Elon Musk, Daisuke Ichiba, My mom; are some influencers who aren’t musically gifted but still impact me and help me create songs. 

Q.What do you think is the most important aspect of music as a concept, personally and objectively? 

A. One, which is the most important one be your own creator. Don’t do something because it’s trending or popular, create what you want, be you. If someone doesn’t fuck with you being you who cares, your biggest critic is yourself. You’re your biggest hater and lover. If it feels good to you than 10/10 do it. Every single creator who has created something unique to the universe was once judged because it was unique to the universe. 

Q. Lastly, what advice or experiences would you like to share with your peers or anyone else who is up and coming in this industry? 

This is cliche, very very cliche, but don’t stop. No matter what your numbers look like, no matter what people say, don’t stop. If this is your passion and you believe in it and put your blood in it, it will pop. Trust me.

Bonus; I would like to give a huge thanks to NefariousSupply for giving me the opportunity to give this interview! I’m eternally grateful. Much love <3

DazeOnEast

Q:

Let us know about yourself, as an artist and person. 

A:

As an artist I would say that I am very honest, and open with my lyrics. I'm not really concerned about what people may think about me, rather that be soft, "light-skin" as most people would categorize nowadays, however my main focus is creating real music that someone can relate to. I've had the women,  I've been through the heartbreaks, I've  experienced the struggle of growing up in tough situations, so if I am able to create music that makes the listener say "Wow I'm dealing with the same thing right now," then I'm satisfied. Daze as a person, is a home-body, humble, and affable. Although I'm a cool guy I still move differently, because everyone can't be trusted. 

Q:

What cultures and experiences cultivate this persona or identity of yours? 

A:

I grew up in a small town in South Carolina. Not a lot of people make it out. Just like every other city, you can find poverty in one part, and riches in another. I'm not going to sit here and cap like I lived among the worst because that's not true. My situation wasn't the best but people had it worst than m, but I associated myself with some of those people that had it worse. It was just easier to relate to them. So I guess you can say that's where my trap side comes from. The R&B side of me comes from the heartbreaks, and relationships I've experienced throughout my life. Every dude has had them, but every dude is not going to be willing to speak on them because it could blemish their tough guy image. Not me. As far as my ghostly persona (lack of social media presence), that's just me. I've never wanted to be the spotlight of attention. I don't like everyone knowing my business, you know?

Q:

What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening? What platform can people reach your content on the most conveniently? 

A:

I feel like my realness, and relatable lyrics is the reason why my current audience continues to listen and why others should start listening. If you're looking for music you can play late night in your car or room, when you're alone, and just want to vibe then I'm your guy. I started off with soundcloud, where most of my following is so most of my tracks are on there, but recently I've started to distribute my music on all platforms. 

Q:

What albums and songs do you already have out that people should listen to? 

A:

I had 3 tracks I have recently dropped, called Still Young, Urge, and Pistols that I feel like you may enjoy. But some of my older tracks such as Wholeheartedly, Time Wasted, Phases with Lnly Boy, and some of my favorites. 

Q:

How has your experience in the industry been thus far? 

A:

It's been amazing. It's a great feeling when I see DM's of people thanking me for making great music, videos of them singing my songs, people implementing my songs in their YouTube videos, producing sending me beats that they want me to hop on.  I've had artist that inspired me to make music 5 years ago, follow me, and DM me.

I've had A&Rs email me from major lables, etc. I say all that with all humbleness, but also with confidence because I remember no one gave me a chance. I remember when people in school would laugh at the dream I had.

So for all of this to start to happen, it's very uplifting.

Still Young prod. @prodbychichi OUT NOW ALL PLATFORMS 🦇

A post shared by 𝔡𝔞𝔷𝔢 🦇 (@dazeoneast) on Mar 1, 2019 at 9:01pm PST

Do you have an outstanding moment since you got into the music industry that makes you realize how important it is to make music like this? If so what would that be? 

A:

About 3-4 years ago I made this track called "Deserve Better" with my bro Luis Aguilera. At first I thought nothing about the track, then about 3 weeks later I woke up, and my soundcloud notifications were going insane. Turns out that some OVO soundcloud page (I don't remember the exact name) had reposted my song. The song is almost at 1 mil on soundcloud, and 1.2 mil on YouTube. This moment changed my career and shaped everything for me musically. This made me realize that people really like that late night, feels, type R&B music. 

Q:

Is there any one song that you’ve made that stands out from the rest? Any songs that people should listen to that will get people hooked? 

A:

Seems that my listeners enjoy Deserve Better but I really like Vagary and Pistols. Pistols really shows my versatility. 

Q:

Walk us through the steps you take to create a track. What is your creative process? Do you happen to just walk into the studio and throw some beats on until one sticks? Or is there a more delicate process involved? 

A:

So first I open up my email, or look through beats that my fellow HerFav producers (KXVI, HerFavArtist, or Duski) have sent me. I listen to the beat for about 15 seconds and usually I'm able to determine if it fits the mood I'm in at the time.

When I find the one that makes me anxious to start recording, I load it into Fl Studio, and freestyle a couple melodies.

When I get a dope melody that I feel like people will enjoy and remember I write lyrics to the melody. Some days I can knock out a song in about 30 mins, but some songs make take me a couple days, there's even been times I returned to a track months later. 

Q:

Where do you think you would be at this very moment if you weren't pursuing your career in music?

A:

I mean I've been in college this entire time, so if I wasn't doing music I would just put all of my focus on college I guess. Find a career that correlates with my major. 

Q:

Lastly, what advice or experiences would you like to share with your peers or anyone else who is up and coming in this industry? 

A:
Advice I would give to people pursing music, would be to first believe in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself who will? Like I said I remember people laughed at me, and doubted me. I remember I would spend hours on making a song and it only get 100 views. Regardless of all of that, continue to pursue your dream you never know what could happen. INVEST in your craft.

Buy your own equipment, so you can experiment and find your own unique sound.

Learn how to mix your own vocals. Lastly I would say build relationships. Over the last couple of years, I've built relationships with amazing people, to name a few (KXVI, HerFavArtist, Duski, Lnly Boy, Lesismore, Majilla, Mylestone, HrtBrkFever, XAVI, Benji Yang, Sentell, Roni, Scandi, Erel, Shraban, TheWavMan, and the entire Collective) the list goes on, you know who you are.

Relationships go a long way, and this is probably the most important advice I could give to anyone. 

Q:

Also, is there anything you'd like for us to promote?

A:

EP coming this summer, and my new track Pistols.

3onawav

Aja Cruz better known by 3onawav is an up and coming artist based out of South Philly. Below she answers a list of pre-sent questions that summarize a glimpse of who she is as an artist and as an artist, what she represents, the inspiration of her sound, and many more.

Let us know about yourself.  

First and foremost my name is Aja Cruz. I was born and raised in South Philadelphia, and started songwriting around the age of eight so i’ve been writing for a while but didn’t start recording songs until I was sixteen.

Where are you representing and why is it so important to you?

I feel as if I represent people more than a place because i’m able to sit here and put into words the things that they can’t even say. I think that’s what’s most important to me, when someone hears your music and they’re like “they must know my life”. In the end it really shows that we’re not all that different and music really has the power to express that.

How would you describe your music to somebody?

Very versatile, I feel as though I can and have yet to really go so many places with my music. I promise whatever it is it’s a vibe.

What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening?

I think my current audience just simply knows potential and recognizes the places I could really take it with the music and my brand period. If you haven’t tuned in yet I highly suggest you do because I haven’t even reached my peak yet and i’m already going so crazy.

Who inspires you for your sound?

Since seven/eight years old i’ve always appreciated Frank Ocean, Drake, and The Weeknd’s sound and how they were able to switch it up effortlessly. Those three might be my biggest inspirations.

Who do you listen to on a regular basis?  

I’d have to say Tory Lanez, Vory, and PND. That’s like the everyday go to.

Do you have any collaborating artists that you’ve been working with?

Me and my brother Spritelee might have something in the works real soon. I’ve also been collaborating with this new sound from New Zealand named Somber, that’s gonna go crazy. Other than that I’ve been hoping to collaborate with other Philly artists like Brygreatah and Fh Snoop.

What platform can people reach your content on the most conveniently?

Right now you can always reach all my content on Soundcloud, but this year anything I drop is hitting Soundcloud and Apple Music.

Is there any one song that you’ve made that stands out from the rest? Any songs that people should listen to that will get people hooked?

I would have to say “Hero” out of all songs I think that might be the one with the most meaning which makes it stand out. But right now i’d have to say my “Ridin Remix” and “Back & Forth” are the tracks that’ll get you hooked.

What do you think is the most important aspect of music as a concept, personally and objectively?

“Is it relatable ?” That’s one of the biggest aspects music should have. Like I said before your audience should feel as if you almost know what they’re going through or how they feel. Other than that I think versatility is another important aspect. You just have to be able to connect with other people and go outside of comfort zones.

How do these aspects find their way into your music style?

My music style is all about versatility and being able to switch up and still relate on all levels.

Do you have an outstanding moment since you got into the music industry that makes you realize how important it is to make music like this? If so what would that be?

When people randomly write me about how they listen to this song every morning or play my music everyday, that’s always an outstanding moment. It forces me to realize that this is what i’m doing it for, and even if I feel underrated and slept on, those are the things that keep me going and they don’t even know it.

How has your experience in the industry been thus far?

Being an independent artist is always twice the work, I don’t expect anything less, but having a team around you that believes in what you do just as much as you do if not more makes it just that easier.

Can you tell us anything about future projects? Anything that people can look forward to coming from you?

I’m dropping a project just for the Summer sometime soon, and coming even crazier with visuals, singles, clothing, etc. Just tune in and join the wav.

Tell us a bit about your newest project and what we can expect from it.

You can definitely expect to be blasting my new project, with your windows down, vibing. No bag music because we save that for the Winter.

Do you have any last thoughts before the end of the interview? Any message you really want to get out to the people and your fans?

I appreciate Nefarious Supply even coming through with this interview. Definitely tune in, you don’t want to miss anything.

Big shout out to 3onawav for agreeing to the interview with us, you can find her music via her Soundcloud above as well Apple Music, you can also follow her on her Instagram.

Twntyfour

Give us a general description of you as an artist. What cultures and experiences cultivate this persona or identity of yours?

I go by the name of Twntyfour, I’ve always been a hiphop fan and I always used to rap along to songs from Drake to Eminem or YE. And I got to a point where I came across FL Studio and I started making remixes of Drake songs with Chris Brown or something like that. Of course it sounded bad but it was the beginning of me experimenting with music, I started making beats like 4 years ago which I didn’t stick to because I was tired of making instrumentals which didn’t have no vocals to it. So two years ago I decided to pick up the mic, and that’s when I started rapping.

𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖒𝖔𝖉𝖊 Out now on Soundcloud, this week on all streaming platforms☠️🦋

A post shared by ᵀʷⁿᵗʸᶠᵒᵘʳ ²⁴ (@iamtwntyfour) on Apr 24, 2019 at 5:40am PDT

How has your experience in the industry been thus far?

Its hard being in this industry, no hand out, gotta figure it all out by yourself. I’m not there yet, but I don’t mind cause I love the grind, I feel hungry, And iknow if I keep working the way I am I will get there. But for now its just hard work, trying to build connections and get my name out there.

Do you have an outstanding moment since you got into the music industry that makes you realize how important it is to make music like this? If so what would that be?

Well, i know how important music is to me like music helps me get thru certain times of my life good and dark times, and I’ve been getting DM’s from people telling me I help them get thru there day with my music and I value that alot. I also had people telling me I inspired them to start making music or inspired them to keep pushing even if they didnt feel like it. I like to see how I can motivate people and that’s something that makes me smile when I read it.

This is why i feel like making music important, to inspire and motivate. 

What do you think personally sets you apart from the rest of your peers in the music industry? What do you bring to the industry that you believe no one else has the ability to bring?

I feel like I’m a very versatile artist, I got tracks with bars, I got love songs, I got club bangers and the list is only gonna grow from here. And yes I’m not a singer but I feel like I use autotune in a different way then alot of artists out there. 

Is there any one song that you’ve made that stands out from the rest? Any songs that people should listen to that will get people hooked?

Well, this a good question, at the moment I’m featured on a song from my bro HiddenHills called “Slide Thru” which is extremely catchy and I can already tell its going to be a big thing. But it’s not out yet, I do have this song called “Moodswings” featuring my bro Omari Night which is by far the most streamed song I got out at the moment. Play this at the club and I know for a fact that people gonna love it.

What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening?

I feel like as I said I’m very versatile. I think the variation is what keeps my people/fans listening. They never know what’s coming next. It’s like the mystery they want to unravel. Also the people who listen to my music know I come with quality, so they know I won’t let them down.

#DRAMACHALLENGE TAG AN ARTIST 🗣

A post shared by ᵀʷⁿᵗʸᶠᵒᵘʳ ²⁴ (@iamtwntyfour) on Apr 25, 2019 at 4:45am PDT

Who do you listen to on a regular basis?

I used to listen to alot of mainstream artists such as Travis Scott, Drake, Tory Lanez, Migos , Kanye West just to name a few, but as I started to dive into Soundcloud a little more I started listening to some more people who aren’t mainstream yet. Such as Frvrfriday, hrtbrkfever, Kdence, b1uan. I recently created a playlist which I’m trying to update daily with these artists covered. You should definetly check it out and drop a follow, it’s called “selectedby24”

Are these the same people who inspire your sound? Or are there other factors that come into play?

Most of them yes, Drake was always a big inspiration for me he’s been in the game for over 10 years now, YE aswell, also love the Yeezys. But I think Travis inspired me to start using my voice and combine it with autotune. As of now Frvrfriday and Hrtbrkfever are like a big inspiration for me as i listen to there music alot lately. And I’m blessed to say that I made the artwork for their next song which is dropping soon.

What do you think is the most important aspect of music as a concept, personally and objectively? 

I think making people smile and help people thru their days is one of the most important things for me. Being able to inspire and motivate is just amazing. 

Lastly, what advice or experiences would you like to share with your peers or anyone else who is up and coming in this industry? 

All I gotta say is if you want to make it, u got to believe in yourself and give this your 100% cause it’s not an easy job. Also learn who to take advice from, you might have friends who tell you oh, you gotta do this and that but at the end of the day you gotta ask yourself if they got the knowledge or experience. And if you should take the advice or leave it. And lastly if you maintain, progress and keep grinding, all your hard work will pay off when the time is right. All you gotta do is believe in yourself.

Also, is there anything you'd like for us to promote?

I feel like me liking a lot of artist and being around a lot of artist my whole life who either tell stories or tell there experiences in beautiful ways have rubbed off on me.

Since my family found out I rap I’ve been more comfortable being myself and expressing myself in a more ways because they here and know what I’m going through. Music makes my concepts make sense to the world and helps me figure a lot of things out. 

Q:

Do these ideologies hold a certain weight to the type of music you make? If so, how so? If not, how do you differentiate your ideologies from the type of music you make?

A:

I feel like me having fun and like just going with the flow makes my music very important now. People take music too serious now of days it’s like a raw when you should just do what you love and have fun.

Also sonically-wise, I love adding different outlandish sounds or like other genre sounds such as EDM sounds or like dance sounds because a lot of my Influence is from that crazy 2010-2012 era where EDM super popping. Plus my family raised me off A LOT of different music so I try to not keep it basic most of the time. 

Q:

If you could collaborate with any artist, from any genre, who would it be?

A:

Pretty hard questions because I love a lot of artist but I really want to collab with Travis Scott. With Travis you get the full package and it always shows.

Like you get to also work with Mike Dean and Travis shows his producer side then he, like, used auto tune like a beast and has some very savvy bars as well.

I also wanna work with Chance because duh that’s my favorite rapper haha.

Q:

What do you feel is the best track you have ever produced?

A:

I don’t think I’ve even touched my best track for the people yet I keep growing and growing every track I drop and keep on trying to not only please the people but please the fan in me.

But my personal fav right now would be between Everyday, Stop Wasting Time, and Incomplete. 

Q:
Where do you want to see yourself in 5 years as an artist? Maybe under a label or going strong solo?

A:

I feel like with me I will be a thriving solo independent artist (unless a situation comes where I need a label) messing up the game like my fav (Chance) did.

I feel like being independent is more important than people think it’s owning what you create and keeping that spark in your career so you can be the best.

Also in 5 years I WILL be at a lot of festivals, probably work with half of my favorite rappers, and at least one or two Grammys on my momma shelf. If not, since my DJing career is skyrocketing as well I would want to be a big DJ doing solo sets at festivals and DJing for a touring artist while still making music. 

Q:

If you weren’t creating music, as of this moment, what do you think you would be doing?

A:

I feel like my life would be incomplete without music. I would probably tryna play sports or something like that. Like I said early I dj as well so I feel like a lot of things I’m doing right now are meant to be no matter if I get doubt or not. But that’s hard question because music is literally my life, hopefully if it wasn’t i wouldn’t be no lame. 

Q:
What advice would you give to anyone coming up as an aspiring artist, same as you? Any tips or experiences that you could share?

A:

KEEP GOING THERE MORE IN STORE.

I always say this. You can feel your destiny In your heart every time cause God don’t play. If you feel in your heart and have faith that this is what you are suppose to be doing and this is the reason you walk this way.

Don’t ever stop for nobody and don’t stop for yourself because the opportunities are endless. I’m 18 years old and I already dj’d a festival and done A TON of shows for big artist.

The ride isn’t always over when you say it’s over and you are going to have doubt but it’s your job to keep creating and keep it moving to show how you really coming. 

Q:
Anything you want us to promote specifically?

A:

Right now I’m dropping My March Madness tracks. but I had to take a break because too much was going on. But those are still dropping and the promo for my first real mixtape. Die On Top (D.O.T) which is coming out soon.

I’ve been working on it for years.

Also expect music from my friends like 7200, HL, Creative Mansion, and my lovely camp Bim Boyz! I have a video for Stop Wasting Time coming soon shot by Dreamer Data and a lot of more cool stuff coming to fruition in the future that everyone will like!

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Where are representing and why does it make you proud to represent?

A: I represent the North Side of Chicago by nature since I was born in uptown. But I’m also very in touch with my Nigerian routes. I am proud to be from the North Pole because it is very

diverse, and it seems like a perfect set up for what’s coming ahead. Whereas Nigeria is a very

unfortunate country, I am always proud to represent Benin City!

Q: Can you describe the type of music that you make? What differentiates your music from others?

A: I am the only mid-west artist who actually lived in another continent for five years. My music is very lit! I’m sort of ambidextrous when it comes to my records because on one hand I can make afrobeat! I can explore my Nigerian passion for music by singing and telling my story over afrotrap beats from WANI, Leni B, Beats by Big H, and other super producers.

Then on the other hand I have my hip hop sound which is the sound that got me started in the first place. I used

Hip hop to set up shop and tell my story at the beginning of my career in 2013. I can also spread

my message or sing to a girl using r&b you may see that in songs like “Love” and “Not a Shaggy

Story”

Q: Who do you draw inspiration from? Any specific names? Any different genres ?

A: That’s a very good question! My only inspiration is God. I enjoy Gospel music a lot. I used to

listen to a lot of medleys back in the day and I have led a few choirs too. Isaiah Templeton is

my favorite Gospel artist right now!

Q: A lot of your recent tracks we find is more laid back and chill type of music, as opposed to your earlier works which had more of a trap feeling to them. Is this a shift in style we are going

to be seeing more of or a one-time thing?

A: Music is subjective so that’s awesome that you make that observation. I think that calmed

down ever since I started seeking God more. There is definitely a shift going on!

Q: When it comes to your more trap-oriented works, where do draw inspiration from, for your

flow?

A: My trap sound is influenced heavily by 50 Cent, Young Thug, Terry G, Faze etc.

Q: Who would you be interested with doing a collab with on a future track? Just a couple names so we can maybe have something to look forward to?

A: I don’t want any features. For now I don’t want to collaborate with any other artists because

I my  message and sound is so dense that few can understand. Birds have nests, foxes have

holes but the son of Man has no where to lay his head. I say that to say no one really knows

what it takes to make the sort of sound the way I make the sound. Furthermore a man can go

from an unbeliever to a believer to hating on you - a man can go from Simon, to Peter, to Satan.

I don’t know who’s faithful besides God. 

Q: What can we look for in the future from you? Any new tracks or albums coming our way? What platform is the best to keep up to date with all your latest stuff on?

A: I jokingly identify as an Instagram artist and a Twitter artist! For new music stay tuned!

Q: Do you have anything that you would like to say in closing? Anything for your fans?

A: To my fans thank you so so much for your support and I can’t wait to drop new music.

Keeeeeeep going!
