All I can say is, thanks to God for making my first music project a success with over 1.5million streams across all music platforms. When I returned from Ghana early 2021, I linked up with Jeriq right from the night we recorded. I actually knew the song was gonna change my life and it did, thanks to my producer, Insane Chips for giving me a hit sound. A big shout out also to Jeriq for helping a first-timer in music to be heard, that’s not a common feat. I regard him as my mentor because he motivated me to be who I am today.”
On his forthcoming project, he disclosed, “I am already working on a five-track EP that comprises trap/drill and hip hop/rap songs. It’s a rich plate featuring Nigerian music hot kid, and Ghana melody trap star, Yunger Vernna. I don’t want to let out too many details but I can tell all Nigerians for free to watch out for my EP. I do not have a release date yet.”
