One Condition

DJ Tunez, Wizkid, FO...

I have such a great memory attached to this song. I was in London at the time, around April 2025. So, I got a call from Big Wiz’s camp to come to

the studio. I linked up with Big Wiz at the studio and we made the song. There are several songs you make that don’t come out, so I thought “One

Condition” would be another song that doesn’t get released because, to me, I didn’t really do anything on the song. Many people ask me how I came up

with the verse, but I simply tell them that it just came to me. I spent about 30 or 40 minutes on that song. It was just so sudden for me. Wizkid

told me to go and do something, and I just walked into the booth and started singing. I initially thought the verse was not so hard, but when we put

it out, everything went crazy. After recording, I went back home and got a text about two or three days later that the song was going to come out. I

thought it was a joke. I have a video on my phone of my reaction to the news. I was so happy and just started running around. Just getting that text

saying, “Yo Fola, Big Wiz just cleared the song, we’re going to drop it,” was crazy. It wouldn’t have been such a big deal if you were expecting the

song to be talked about or if you were expecting the song to be put out. I just did my verse and went, so getting that text that it was coming out

was really mind-blowing. It was huge for me.

Despacito (feat...

Blaqbonez, FOLA

The way FOLA and I worked on “Despacito” is almost like the way I made “Bizzy Body.” I invited him to my house. Ramoni (credited

producer) started playing chords, and he basically created the hook on the chords. He just sang the whole thing, and Ramoni and I

started working on how the beat would actually be. Then, I recorded my part, and that’s when FOLA actually heard it. At track

five, it felt like I needed to switch things up. We had come with mad energy from the beginning, so it felt like it was time to

soften the vibe a little bit, but it needed to be beautiful and still energetic. “Despacito” was the right song to transition

with. It's a hip-hop song, but it has some amapiano elements. I feel like it was giving me a version of AKA on soulful songs that

just connect in a way, and that’s what introduces “Nati” with Olamide.

lost

FOLA, Kizz Dani...

I have to give a big shoutout to Vado. Kizz Daniel is another person who goes out of his way for me. I can’t thank him enough.

“lost” was actually written because people rarely sing about the ups and downs of love. No one talks about when you’re crying in

that corner of your room because that girl is not responding to your text. No one talks about when you’re feeling down because

that guy is acting anyhow. No one really talks about those parts, and that’s what “lost” is all about. It’s written in homage to

the bad sides of love. Having Kizz Daniel on the song changed its dimension. I wasn’t expecting the delivery to come out that way.

He really showed the big OG that he is. There are levels to this music thing, and Kizz Daniel is just at the top.

you

FOLA

“you” wasn’t written based on my perspective or something I was going through. My manager, MelvinTheWave, was in love at that

point. He was so in love, and I was always observing him and his actions. So, I was just copying and pasting his lifestyle on that

song. It’s a love song talking about your girl and how she’s making you feel. “You” was written in March of 2025, and it was

produced by Kel P. Kel P is so great at what he does; he won’t let you sing rubbish. He’s one of the producers I’ve met who is

very deliberate about what he does. A lot of producers don’t care about what you’re singing as long as you work with them and use

their beats. Most people just want to record and go, but Kel P won’t let you do that; it has to be up to standard. In fact, he

won’t let you write your songs alone; he wants to listen before you record. He’s very interested in what you want to put down.

Even if it’s great, he’s still looking for a way to make it better.
