I recorded this one in South Africa when I went to do the Hennessy Cypher in June 2025. I just planned a little
listening party over there. The energy at the listening party was so exciting. The South Africans showed me so much
love. There were so many people there and it was so nice. I was like, “I have to have a song with some South Africans on
the album.” The session was the next day. I've been a fan of KindlyNxsh and Brotherkupa, especially not just fans of
their music, but fans of their visuals. I found the guy who shoots their videos and followed him. We all linked up, and
it was an organic session because I liked their visuals, and they liked me already. The session was very smooth, and we
made it after my listening party. With WAVE$TAR, while I was working on a project, I told myself I had to put someone
who represents who's next in the Nigerian hip-hop space. I felt like I couldn't consider myself an OG if I didn't say,
“This is the next guy.” I feel like this album is my introduction to being an OG. I was excited that WAVe$TAR was
excited to be on the project. His verse was the last verse to enter the project; it happened four days before the album
dropped. I’d been talking to him about it, but we had not figured out if he was going to be on the song. I initially
wanted to transition the beat into something else, but he just recorded on the actual beat, and it was fire.
