In 2021, Dapper set up a session with me & Tempoe. It was a camp for an artist called Savage. We made a couple of records that
included “Rosemary,” “Soweto,” and some other songs that never saw the light. At the time, I loved “Rosemary” more and Tempoe used
to tell me that “Soweto” is crazy, but I couldn’t see it. At the end of the day, we gave Savage “Rosemary,” and Tempoe was going
to take “Soweto.” It was supposed to be Tempoe featuring Victony, but people on my team just loved the record and they told me
that the song was crazy. I spoke to Tempoe at the time, and he was like, “Yo, that’s my song, I can’t give it to you.” This was
post-“Holy Father,” and I wanted that to be my follow-up single, and he told me he can’t give me the record. So, we fought, and we
just stopped talking for a while. When I was putting the Outlaw EP together, I was telling my friend, AV, about the plans, and AV
goes, “What about that ‘Soweto’ record? That has to make your EP.” I was like, “Yeah, the song is dope, but I don’t think Tempoe
and I can ever agree.” We hadn’t spoken in months but AV was like, “Put your pride to the side and ask him for it again because
you’re both sitting on money.” To be honest, at the time, I didn’t really think of the advice as a big deal but I just did it
because AV is someone I trust, he’s a very good friend of mine, and if he tells me something, I’ll listen. That same night, I
reached out to Tempoe and was like, “How are you doing?” Surprisingly, he responded in good spirits and we were able to make it
come to life and I even discussed my EP with him. That’s how the song eventually became released.
