wandeIt took you six years to discharge another collection; What happened?
I was with Mohits and the organization broke up in 2011, then, I was allowed to sit unbothered to pick where to go. Either to run with Dbanj or Don Jazzy. I simply moved with Don Jazzy in light of the fact that we had reinforced, It's not that I didn't care for Dbanj but rather I simply needed to move with Don Jazzy in light of the fact that he is a maker and I am an artist. I moved with Don Jazzy without no agreement . It depended on affection and I had no agreement. Sooner or later I needed to be accountable for my own imagination and have my very own development .I have been working with Don Jazzy for some time and I needed to give other individuals the chance to create my music. It requires investment. I cleared out Don Jazzy in 2013 and we were at that point taking a shot at my second collection, which was verging on done. However, toward the day's end with business, you differ and concur. It simply didn't work out .That is the reason I needed to start from the very beginning once more .Songs like Rotate are no more on the collection. I needed to start from the very beginning again making new tunes, getting another maker that is the reason it took this long.
How was it for you transitioning from a known record name to turning into a free artiste?
No good thing comes simple; we need to continue working. Many people said my vocation has declined. Every one of these things inspire me. I like great reactions. I met Don Jazzy in 2006; they didn't sign me until 2010. I have been working all that time, composing melodies. It wasn't too hard, yet I simply required at some point to make my own particular sound. New makers are coming up and I chose to give them a shot. The melody I did in Ghana with R2bees turned into a hit, however it wasn't Don Jazzy that created it. Wear Jazzy doesn't have an issue with that. Individuals like Wizkid and Davido, I basically affected them, letting them know this is the way to go about it. Individuals must develop, table must turn, and individuals must change. I would prefer not to be stereotyped with my sound. I don't need individuals to feel that in the event that I don't have Don Jazzy, I can't make it.

We are still family in light of the preparation and the hardwork we have been through and all the time we have shared together.
