You know 132 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I can't do that at home. But 133 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: that's why I really experienced real Atlanta culture. You know 134 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know, start tapping in with the Jordans, 135 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. 136 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 5: First it was just. 137 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: Listen, my mom was one of the first, probably person 138 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: in the world to get there's this particular Chanel bag 139 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: at this time. This bag was like twenty ten thousand 140 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: at that time. I'm talking about eighties. She was the first. 141 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: Like my mom was stylish, Like if you walk in 142 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: this building, you're smelling the perfume like door, you know 143 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So like we've always they've always been 144 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: flying because like I said, they understood the American culture 145 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: a little bit as well. 146 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 4: I can't keep up with how much afrobeats has evolved though, 147 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: because you have that. I'm a piano now. Yeah, it's 148 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: like what's the difference between. 149 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: You see, like afro beats is not like how it's 150 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: not a sound, it's not how it's not a type 151 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: of music. Actually, it's kind of like it's the genre 152 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: that we called because in the UK there was this 153 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: song that blew up from the Banch. The band is like, 154 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: he's all like that's all like Jay type stuff, like 155 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: he broke all the barriers. So at the time in 156 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: the UK, they didn't want to call it African music 157 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: because you know how it's over there, so they called 158 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: it afrobeats. But afrobeats was actually a genre that fell 159 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: I was doing. That's fellas on genre which has a 160 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: distinctive sound. It sounds a kind of way, you know 161 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So when they were describing the music 162 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: for the afrobeat, it's just called it afrobeats as a whole, 163 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: which described so if you're an African artist and you 164 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: sing R and B, like, we have people back home 165 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: that don't even like they sound like R and B 166 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: type usher type singing, and the dudes like Odu Modu, 167 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: who's really trap, sounds like he's from Bronx, you know 168 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like type beat type type of vibe, 169 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: but they still call them aprob artists. So it's like 170 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: it's an umbrella that hasn't been used and it's kind 171 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: of too late now to be like, oh no, it's 172 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: not afrobeat and explaining it and all that. So it's 173 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: just like we just ran with it. 174 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 4: Like you know, so what are you currently doing, Like 175 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 4: when you look at your new album five, Yeah, what 176 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: is that on there? 177 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's it's African music, African music. 178 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: But obviously if you go on the genre, they'll say 179 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: it's afrobeats, you know what I'm saying, But it's African 180 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: Music's like the song with Victori Money, it's not aphrobeats 181 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: to me, it's like for R and B song of 182 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: Becky g is like kind of like Latin, but our 183 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: music sounds alike anyway, you know what I'm saying. But 184 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: definitely like you have original ifro beat David, those songs 185 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: on there. But what I'm saying is that that's just 186 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: the Umbrella used you know what I'm saying. So I'm 187 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: a piano. It's from South Africa. South Africans since time 188 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: always had great dope music and funny enough, since earlier 189 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: in my career, I've been collaborating in South Africa very 190 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: early in my career. So my piano came in like 191 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: i'd say, like five years like to my knowledge, it's 192 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: been going on there like since time, but like it 193 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: became like everywhere in Africa like five years ago. And 194 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: then definitely you know how Nigera retapped in with the 195 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: sound too as well. You know, I was working with 196 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: their producers. And one thing about Nigerian producers they can adapt. 197 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: They they could remake anything. It make it sound like 198 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. 199 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 4: Six, So does Nigeria have a sound because I was 200 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 4: listening to some of the records. 201 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: Off as a sound but like South Africa and my 202 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: piano is actually their sounds. That's really like I don't 203 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: want to say, don't gate keep it too like, but 204 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: that's really they sound like I Every time I do 205 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: a song that's like I'm a pianost it's either I 206 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: involved one of their producers or I involved one of 207 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: the artists. One of my biggest records, the unavailable record 208 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: is featuring Musuki, which is he's South African on the 209 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: album too. He produced like two records which he produced 210 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: and they actually am my piano records. So I feel 211 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: like because every everybody has that, you know, image of 212 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: Nigeria being a giant in Africa and also not like 213 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: carrying other countries along musically because if you look at 214 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: look at the numbers the top I say, the top 215 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: five to ten artists that globally, you know know, not 216 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: as aprobb the artists.

Sometimes you have to go outside 337 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: and let people see from far like yo, other people 338 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: are appreciating what we have. You guys have Chris Brown. 339 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: That's a that's a gift that was given from God 340 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: toward music in America, you know what I'm saying. Just 341 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: the same way. So when he came out there, I 342 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: feel like he saw that full circle moment and it 343 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: was just I was just happy to just be involved 344 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: in that, you know what I'm saying.

It's just so you got a Grammy dent 348 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: No no, no, no, I don't get a plaque. Yeah I 349 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: worked on it. What's the songs on the album? 350 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: What's the meaning of a will telling you? 351 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: Its okay? Just like it's just like a chance like 352 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: together and as happiness, you know, all good things. You 353 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: know what our music entails like, we don't really be 354 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: singing about deep stuff like that, but we do have 355 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: deep songs. But I'm saying with this particular record, that's 356 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: what he means. 357 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: Do you chase the us chorts? Still? 358 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: I mean if everybody chases something, you know what I'm saying. 359 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 3: But you being so big overseas, being big everywhere. 360 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: Like when they happened. I remember when Sensational got into 361 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: How one hundred. I got a call I trying to understand, 362 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah we so we in the hot hundred. 363 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, but then the records are already 364 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: performing everywhere sun out arenas, So you know what I'm saying. 365 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: So it's like it's give and take. But like you know, 366 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: we have our own billboard Afrobeat Charts, yeap, so we 367 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: followed that as well. We have a UK chart. But 368 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: it's always amazing to see an Aphrobb song skilled into 369 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: the upper echelon of charts. You know what I'm saying. 370 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 4: Every time, I wonder if the labels get it though 371 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 4: in the radio stations because the song like Unavailable that 372 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 4: should have been number one crazy, I know number one 373 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 4: in the UK? 374 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: Well yes, yes, yes UK, yes, Like I mean, it 375 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: just depends. I feel like maybe if I got in 376 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: like a Latin remix or something, that would have gone 377 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: crazy or stuff like that. But also like it's just 378 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: to me, it's just now the game is different, like 379 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: somebody could just a random pace could just do your 380 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: TikTok and blow up.

It 661 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: might not happen a lot of her households, and it 662 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: goes for also the groom, and it goes for also 663 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: the wife. So let me give an example of like 664 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: for a guy for example. Now, a lot of husbands 665 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: in some families, like a lot of them, they grew 666 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: up with their mom. Their mom is everything, you know, 667 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: those kind of something that they can't live even if 668 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: they get married. Their mom almost been the house controlling this, 669 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: doing that, anything, the anything the husband does right or wrong, 670 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: she's supporting the husband. That is mentality in Nigeria. Now 671 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: the same thing for women too. Do you understanding the 672 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: parents who always support their daughter no matter right or wrong. 673 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: Where in like in America, it's like me and you 674 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: get married, you your parents by your brother. But this 675 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: is between me and you, you know what I'm saying. 676 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: So like in Nigeria, you never really leave that family 677 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: ever seen in Nigeria, wedding it's not about the group 678 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: and bride is about the family. Family, you know what 679 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying, coming together and doing that. So I'm doing 680 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: my white wedding in Miami in August was traditional. 681 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 6: Oh that was like a national holiday. 682 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 4: Crazy man girls crying like, oh my god, he's off 683 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 4: the market. 684 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: It was that was like, Yo, that was really a holiday. 685 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: The whole worlds still. You know why too, because me 686 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: and my wife's relationship was kind of in the public eye, 687 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: especially after I did that one song. So a lot 688 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: of things have happened, apart from even us losing our child, 689 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: but like I don't messed up a lot of time 690 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: on some other stuff, you know what I'm saying. So 691 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: I feel like that full circle woman. Everybody was like, man, finally, 692 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, I finally got his things together and really 693 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: gave this girl because she's like, she's the best.
