Odunsi (The Engine),...
This one is very interesting because I was making that beat for Santi. We were all in the crib in Magodo (Lagos), and I was in the studio cooking
up. This was a period when there was a series of nights out, and I just made the beat off of that energy, and I had Efe Jazz come play that guitar
riff that’s now become super popular. At that time, Ifeanyi (Nwune) was managing Runtown, and Runtown was in Los Angeles. Ifeanyi told me he’d send
the song to Runtown, so I sent the song to him. I wasn’t thinking much about it like that, and then, one day, I got a FaceTime video call from
Ifeanyi. He just has his phone up and he’s smoking a blunt. He was in this studio that’s like an open studio, and Runtown is in the back, and I’m
hearing Runtown’s verse. I’m telling myself that this is the craziest Runtown verse I’ve ever heard. I was like, “Yeah yeah, this one is perfect.” I
didn’t even hear the final thing until later, but just off that phone call, it sounded great.
