How did music starts for you?

 
I picked up a pen and paper,penned down 16 wack bars at the age of 12..lol, but my roomates in d hostel liked em...that's how it started..·

 Did it ever get to a point where anything challenged your career as an artiste?


 Yeah, a lot, money mostly, but God always dey my side..·

 For other upcoming artiste out there, what would be your advice to them?


 it would be this 'if you are SURE you have the talent, keep at it, and ask God to lead you, if not, become a doctor or sumn' lol·

 Music over school or school over music?


 Can't choose, they are dependent on each other... So, school and music :)·

 There’s apparently too much controversy on which Nigeria’s Rapper is King. Who would you give it to? 


Peter Clarke! #rraaaah! Lol·

 So you changing the game, making an impact or you just going passing through it? 


All three, the impact I'm gonna make WILL change the game, and of course I'm mortal so I'm passing through, others will come after me :)·

 Nigeria music in the next ten years?


hard to say, trends will surely differ from what we have today though.·

 What artiste in the industry is effortlessly raising the standard and how?·

This is a hard question, but they're several, Asa, Killz, Psquare, Dbanj, etc.. How? By being great Personalities. Lol
 What would be the most challenging thing in the industry for new generation artiste such as you? 


Well, that would be getting people to accept our music.·

 Established artiste owes new school artiste such as you a platform?


 And how you do believe they do.- I don't believe anybody owes anybody anything.·

 Most new school artiste aren’t making radio songs, or making music for the relevancy of it, but they rather do commercial music. Do you agree with this and what stands you out from these allegations?


 We make relevant music, but, the market for music would pick a commercial track over a conscious track anyday.. So I don't agree.·

 Commercial music seems to be the way out! Do you think it’s healthy for the industry and explain to us why your opinion Is so.-


 its healthy for the industry, because, its what brings the money into the industry, without commercial music, thered be no industry, shikena.·

 Do you and your mgt have any plan to push the industry forward?- 


of course, its World Famous Akademy! Lol, jst watch out!·

 Reviewing the route, radio fm goes through on the air play of new school artiste songs, do you think it’s been fair and what would your opinion be? 


I think its almost fair, they can do better..·

 What can be done by radio fm’s to support artiste such as you?


 Play my song every hour! Lol·

 What’s your long term plan for music?


 Become a star, then create stars.·

 Honest opinion on the Headies nominee list?


 Avnt seen it, but I heard my homie terry tha rapman was nominated! He must win o!·

 Looking at music awards such as the headies, smva and the likes, do you think they are billing up to standard such as the grammies, BET and the likes?


 Nah, not yet, we still have a loooong way to go when it comes to award shows, them dey try sha!·
