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.
