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
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!
