Diamonds / Where You...
Cruel Santino, Seki
I feel like I am a rapper, so if I don’t rap, my project isn’t complete. “Diamonds” just has one thing that makes it a
personal song of mine. I just needed to have it so that niggas know. Also, “Diamonds” is with “Where You Been,” it’s two
in one. I was in Lagos at my aunt’s house, and I just walked down the road and smoked and came back. The “Diamonds” beat
was just playing, and I just sang. There’s a thing I do when I record where I try to catch the beat. So, I might be
gaming, but I’ll hear the beat, then I’ll run. It’s just a stupid thing, I don’t know why I do it. It’s just like what’s
going to come out of your head at that spot. So, as I did that, the lyrics just came out. I just sang that part and kept
it. I didn’t hear it again until two days later, and I was just like, “This p is mad o,” and I did “Diamonds.” “Where
You Been” was with Seki, who’s my good friend. He’s from The Philippines. He did the first part of “Where You Been” and
then, I just sang on it. He didn’t know what to do with the song, and I said that I was going to make it the second half
of “Diamonds.” He did his part in Dubai, and I did my part in Lagos in 2018.
