What was the core inspiration or message behind Money (Hustle)? How did the collaboration with Psalmx come about and what did they bring to the track that enhanced your original vision?
The Inspiration behind money comes from a the vision of hard work paying off. Basically enjoying the fruits of your labor. The song was created in a recording camp in Ghana so we decided to go with a Ghanaian vibe on the song. Psalmx dropped a verse that enhanced the song considering his styleWas right up that alley
You rap, sing, and produce. How do you balance these three roles, and which one did you find yourself drawn to first?
I honestly don’t know if I’m succeeding in balancing these three roles out, because I definitely can do better, but I am trying. The first role I was drawn to was rapping and recording/mixing. that’s how I started off in the beginning of my journey
Your most honest and personal lyric?
“And I would have blown since, honestly I’ve been distracted”
As a Nigerian-British artist, how do you feel your dual cultural background influences your music and creative perspective?
Fun fact, I’m not Nigerian-British. I’m a Nigerian based in the UK. I think the misconception started off as a typo and all the blogs then ran with it lol. But living in Nigeria and UK has influenced my sounds a lot seeing as I draw inspiration from my immediate environment as well as my experiences in life.

Juwon Adenuga, Lil Wayne, JayZ
A song you would pay to hear for the first time again?
Kilimanja
In which place or state of mind do you imagine people might listen to your music?
