Yes, yes, yes, I mean 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.479 a pot hole man was a moment in my life. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.800 That was the first time I mean meeting such an 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.360 idol somebody now in New York here at the Rock 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.279 Nation office and I saw, I mean too that day, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.319 you know what I mean, and Behi. It brought me 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.759 to the office, introduced me to Jay, told him who 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.080 I was. He said, Hi. It was a decent, very decent, 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.240 high conversation. And you know what I mean, he said 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:30.800 to me, I'm a great man. Like That's something I 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.520 will never forget, you know. Quite interesting. No, why do 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.320 you think American music has embraced so much in Nigeria 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:42.080 but Nigeria all over the world. You guys are bullies 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.600 and stuff the bullies because really we don't embrace a 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.720 lot of music from other places, not just Nigeria. Yeah, true, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.400 Why is that? And how do you break through? Um? 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.680 I think, Um, I guess it's just what it is. 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.960 America is is world power, right, like the President of America. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.680 It's like the president of the world. So the hardest 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.520 hard to the most popular chef in America will probably 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.040 be the most popular chef in the world. Right. Um, 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.160 But I feel like this America is still starting to, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.600 you know, open up to other genres of music. I 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.560 see where you gain music is popping our hair and 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.560 that's dope. I see some I mean some of the 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.600 UK artists are popping out here too, and that's dope. 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.000 I mean, I think Africa's need to get that ear too, 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.520 you know, to translate. Like I said when I went 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.799 oversees the DJ, when I know you've been in South 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.000 Africa a few times, yeah, and it's like you you, 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.880 I mean, you could play American music, but you better 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.200 have yeah, oh no, yeah, definitely when you come down 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.280 stones in my laptop, you know what I mean, Hell yeah, 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.920 because you gotta play it because if not, you'll be 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.760 rocking for a little bit. But then when it's time, 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.320 yeah music, So it translates a little bit, especially with 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.240 the DJ's no doubt and is trying to do some 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.519 Nigerian influenced music. Now. Yeah, you guys are friends. It's 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.600 really exciting. I mean I've I've I've done a record 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.839 with him before. I speak to him once in a while. 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.960 Has a big dog too that holds us down. Our 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.040 head has been rappling from love for a long time now. 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.560 He from Nigeria. Yeah, how what does the music seem 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.679 like in Nigeria though, Like for you, did you feel 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.440 like you had to leave and go other places in 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.160 order to get No, I didn't. I've never had to leave. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.799 I still live in Nigeria. I just traveled a lot. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.120 I'm just you know what I mean, out there a 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.600 law because Nigeria music has gone to a point where 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.520 it's really really blown out. There's a huge market. All 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.640 these are starting to make a lot of money, you 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.080 know what I mean. From from from the business. There's 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.399 a lot more bigger shows. That's corporates coming getting involved, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.200 the telecom companies again involved and stuff like that. So 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.880 the market is getting bigger every day. When you first started, 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.680 it was when I first started. Well, I came in 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:37.480 two thousand and ten. I'm part of this set, that 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.440 the new school set that came in when the industry 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.520 was already you know what I mean, enjoying those new 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:48.200 school benefits exactly. But before that, I was in a group. Yes, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:53.200 I started in a group called ecomos Quad and ecored. 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.880 Ecomog is like the military, the West African military forced 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.040 the body, the military body that you know what I mean. 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.720 Guys West Africa pretty much called ECAMOG and when we 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.480 when I started out on the group was three or 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.320 of us, and all our dads where uniform man. My 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.360 dad was a cop, the other guy's dad was was 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.760 was a military man, a soldier, and the other guy 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:16.800 his dad was an efforts man. So we just wanted 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.120 to put those names together like that. It seems like 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.000 you guys really support each other in Nigeria, like I 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.120 see what this kid will pick you up? Yeah? Is 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.200 it really all love? Hell? Yeah, it's all love man, 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.800 like we we we we love to see each other successful, 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.600 you know what I mean? So when if if it 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.720 makes me throws a tweet at the debut, Oh, you 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.200 know what I mean? The whole line JOI succede at 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.520 the body explain to people what what Nigeria looks like, 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.680 because I had the pleasure to go to South Africa 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.640 and it's totally different than I thought. It's actually when 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.120 I go there, it feels like it's it's like I 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.440 would say, like an La Maryland DC. Yeah, the perception 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.720 of Africa is real like yeah, But because I was 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.760 talking a copy about this, the images they've shown us 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.760 to Africa, all these years or the kids with flies 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.800 on their face. Unfortunately, yeah, unfortunately. I mean Africa is 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.479 really really beautiful. It's really really beautiful. If you haven't 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.720 been there, you you can only be as ignorant as 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.560 you know what I mean anybody else who hasn't been there. 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.440 But like you said, South Africa is it's crazily nice. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.560 That's probably one of my favorite places in the world, 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.039 right next to Nigeria and Ninegeria is beautiful. It's hard. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.840 Oh yeah, we don't you know, it doesn't get too 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.000 cold like that and we love it. You know what 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:27.760 means you don't wear no minx out there? What's that? No? No, no, no, 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.400 we don't really do that. It's hard. Oh yeah, but 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.880 in my city where I'm from and Josty gets really 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:34.520 really cold, so you can throw on the fur there 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.000 and you'd be cool. Still. How do you feel about 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.279 the white rhinos white rhinos? I don't feel nothing about 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.440 You need to about the white rhino. That there's one 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:50.240 male white rhino when that's white rhino. I just had 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:54.240 to play safe with an asset because I've seen that. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.400 I didn't see that the white rhino did walk. There's 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.000 a white rhino. I guess in Nigeria. That is Nigeriageria, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:11.520 no I Africa. The white rhino was the only male 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.839 white rhino left and then secured the twenty four hours, 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.600 seven days a week to make sure nobody kills it. 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:22.720 That sounds like Asia is the last white Ruhno, buff right, 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.560 we should cut it up and eat it up. Man, 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.680 what is a mining city? I read that you grew 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.360 up in a mining city. Yes, um, in my city, 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.520 there's a lot of like mineral materials under the ground, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.680 you know what I mean, like teen time to lights 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.560 and stuff like that. I guess extracted and exported as well. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.600 So I got from a rich city. Man, Jos, Nigeria, 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.839 they were you were rich growing up. No, I wasn't rich. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.400 I wasn't born poor. I wasn't born rich. It's in Kenya, 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.400 the white ronos in Kenya. Kenya, Kenya, y'all to google that, 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.640 shout us, shout out to Kya. Okay, yeah, yeah, kind of. 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.840 I mean, Kenya is another beautiful place with a lot 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.080 of you know, I mean, animal reserves and stuff like that. 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.080 So yeah, I'm gonna be too surprising. But up you 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.000 were fine at first until your father passed away. Yeah, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.839 things got a little broth for you. Well, yeah, the 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.640 story of life. I mean, my dad when he was alive, 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.360 I used to go to school and like sories and 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.640 stuff like that because he had a he held a 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.000 big position with the police force. But I'm gonna ask 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.400 you what he did because like I read the same 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.240 thing he said, your life was rosy when he was Yeah, 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.120 all right, my life was rosy when Pulse was alive. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.080 But you know what I mean, when he passed away, 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.320 a lot was on my mom. And you know, typical 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.240 I'll take typical African story, you know what I mean. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.200 She went through her struggles and we just we just 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.640 went you know what I mean, from a tend to 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.800 like maybe at seven. Now, what's all right? Listen, what's 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.640 the typical African story? Because here in the States, if 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.000 something like that was to happen, a lot of guys 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.680 would turn to the streets, probably started hustling and make it. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.440 What did you have to do? I mean we have 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.440 those instances as well back home as well. People get 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.240 on the streets and start doing all the stuff that 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.480 might be legal, you know what I mean, or illegal 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.880 for me, Na, it's not what all big up on that. No, 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.640 that's not really a part of our thing like that. 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.720 But what I just focused on my music when I 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.760 couldn't I couldn't afford tuition at some point, you know 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.680 what I mean. I just became a studio rat and 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.840 I started living in the studio, you know. So listen, 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.960 you know how they got d boys and trap stars here? 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.920 What do they have in Africa? We have like we 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.680 have guys, We have dudes. Man would't really you know, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.200 I wouldn't really do those clicks and what they say 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.520 don't sound dope. They don't say we I mean, you 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.840 can you can find that. You can find some good stuff. 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.719 Figure out what the street life is. I made the 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.920 street life. I mean, it's not all about drugs. We 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.840 love to party. Our people love to party. We love 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.040 to go to the beach, you know what I mean, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.880 would love to. House music is a big influence there. House, yes, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.880 and South Africa and the South, the southern part of Africa. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.319 Your house music is quite big. But where the era 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.120 where I'm from, Nigeria, West Africa, we're big up on 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.440 afric b a lot, you know what I mean. And 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.280 we've been able to cross that over to the UK. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.720 We artists like the Bond you know what I mean, 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:07.000 whist Kid in the United States too. Yeah, and we 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.400 just got a stage of south By Southwest. Yeah, that 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.800 was the reason why, Kid. It was amazing. It was 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.680 amazing this year, you know what I mean. They had 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.480 all this from gone off from Nigeria, from South Africa 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.040 and we mashed it up, y'all, we missed it up crazy. 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.079 Let's get back to the street talk now, because y'all 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.720 be having to walk like the having to walk around 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:29.280 with security detail. Who's the security for um? For yourself? 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.440 Security for yourself? I'm saying, who they're protecting you from? 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:37.440 Just I mean sometimes when you and back home, when 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.719 people stop you on the street as a celebrity, it's 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.360 not necessarily because they want to get a picture. It 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.319 might be they want to rob, not rob you know 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.000 what I mean. It's it's not robbed. They just want 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.720 a piece of you, you know what I mean, either 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.200 money freely or snap back or T shirt or whatever. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.720 They want to take something from you.
