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.

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.

Obviously, a big shoutout to Captain BNXN; he’s such a great guy, and he loves me so much. He goes

out of his way for me, and I respect him so much. At that time, “alone” was BNXN’s favourite song.

He was always posting the song on Snapchat and listening to it. I would always appreciate him for

posting the song. One day, I just summoned the courage and told myself I’d ask him to jump on the

remix with me. I just wanted to try. So, I told him, “This looks like your favourite song because

you always post this song, Baba mi. Could you please help me with a verse on the remix? It would

really go a long way for me.” He didn’t respond initially, but I charged it to the game because I

always like to try things, even if they don’t work out. I just gave it a shot. So, I already thought

it wouldn’t happen, but three days after, he responded and told me, “Bad boy, send me the verse, let

me give it a try.” I got the verse back in less than 24 hours. It was mind-blowing. I didn’t believe

it, but we went from there.
