During the holidays, A-Maz contacted me that he had acquired some instrumentals for The R.A.P (I had no idea that by ‘few’, he meant about thirty). And being the music lover and workaholic he was, he had already composed hooks fro about three songs (only two appeared on The R.A.P though). So, my job was made easier. But it still wasn’t easy. Cos when I got to Maiduguri, I was confused, the instrumentals were just too much and I loved them all. What I loved the most was that. The instrumentals were a challenge. I stated writing for the hooks that A-Maz had composed. The first instrumental that really caught my attention was Hero by Nas produced by Polow Tha Don. I remember telling A-Maz ‘polow is a beast!”. I free-styled on the Hero instrumental and A-maz and I loved it. I Knew then, that Hero freestyle was going to be the next track I would record. I want to use this post to apologize for not sampling too many Naija tracks. It’s because the challenging Naija instrumentals are hard to come by. But once I get them, I’ll sample them on my next mixtape which would be titled………………………… wait,…… I ……. Haven’t titled it yet. Let’s concentrate on The R.A.P shall we? after deciding the next track I was going to record, I started writing for The R.A.P.
I’m very happy for the tracks I wrote and didn’t record and those I didn’t cos they pushed my creativity and my writing skills as well as my performances on other tracks. And that period of writing really helped me as an artist and as e person cos I started to think deep in that period.
We are still counting down to The R.A.P
BTW, A-maz's Oleku is out. Download it at Download Oleku.
