Cruel Santino
You know how my music has so many pockets. I can rap, I can do patois, and any style. So, this is a pocket that GMK
(credited producer) entered. Producers have seasons. There is a time when GMK can make a certain type of beat that he’ll
never make again because that’s the season he’s in. So, why “Morocco” and “Maria” are special is because he made both of
them in one week, and he never made beats like that again. Once he made “Morocco,” I just knew that this was my p. It
was in his house. I turned on the mic and just sang about “Morocco” in Magodo (Lagos).

“alté cruise” was just what it was. I had just started going out and becoming more social thanks to
Boj. He was always saying the word so much around me, and I had this alt SoundCloud account called
fridaycruise where I’d just drop music very spontaneously. So I just put the two names together. For
me, “alté cruise” is just a manifestation of a more social version of myself. I was going out,
hanging out with friends. When I made the song, we were all in the studio, and Santi did his verse
last. We were having fun and goofing around. I feel blessed to have this song because I love music
so much, and a lot of this stuff we were making was more than music. It was a lot of sacrifice for
the community and friends. It was built on knowing that people loved us and what we were doing. We
were really making it for them, and we wanted the people to feel it. So, it’s nice to see that it
spread that far.

Nasty C was in Lagos, and we met up. That was actually fun because we would go around Lagos at
night, and I was with Santi and one of my homies, Genio. So, we met up with Nasty C, and we made
that song. It was a very interesting one because at that time, South African-Nigerian link-ups were
very popular, but there wasn’t anything really happening in the underground like that. Working with
Nasty C and having Santi on it was very important.
