Blaqbonez always wanted me to make a song that will go super viral. He’s like; “oh, you need to make a record that will cement

your legacy, a song that many Nigerians will know, will listen to”. So when I was making God's Engineering 2 (previous album), we

made ‘Family’. It didn't go as viral as he wanted it to go. So when I was making God's Engineering 3, he was paying special

interest in the recording process. When I made the song called ‘Read the Signs’ with Terry Apala, Blaq was super excited. He even

helped me contact Terry to be on the record. He was like; “yo, this is the record. You finally did it your way. You just have to

put a budget behind this record, and it's going to go super viral”. I was like, cool. It's supposed to be the single anyway. But

then I told him that I'm not going to make the album without him doing a verse. I wanted a rap verse. So before I wrapped up the

album, I called him and I was like, yo, I'm wrapping up the album and I need that verse. And he was like, say less. I think two

days later, I just got an email and he had recorded on a YouTube beat. I listened to the verse and the hook and I was like, Oh, is

this how you're feeling? He was like, yeah, a lot had happened before he recorded the verse. He put down how he felt about what

was happening. I was like, okay, I jumped into the booth and dropped my own verse in like, maybe like 15, 20 minutes. But I held

it back because I was still not certain because it was on a YouTube beat. We sent it to a producer called Jxses. He was able to

make a beat that matched what we were already feeling - which is one of the hardest things to do. We didn't think of it as a

single, right? We just wanted it to be on the project. After I finished the album, I played it for my team and they were like, yo,

it's hard - and this should be the single. They were like, the hook, the chemistry, everything is just a safer bet. And I spoke to

the guys on the distribution side, and they were like, yeah, they actually think that the song with Blaqbonez is the single. So we

picked a date. And we dropped it. The situation between Blaq and Modu (ODUMODUBLVCK), everything just escalated it. And yeah,

that's how the song came about. We were not in the same studio when we made the record. Blaq recorded his part, sent it to me. I

recorded my part, sent it to him. And people have been saying that that's one of my best verses yet. That thing that Blaqbonez

wanted me to always have, “I want you to have this to cement your legacy”. I always wanted him to be the person that would give

that to me. I guess he finally did it on this record.

Generally, I’m an overthinker, and there was a point where there were a lot of slow-motion (TikTok) challenges in vogue. That’s

what inspired the line, “Got no time for no slo-mo.” It was also tied to my life because I knew I wasn’t young anymore, and I knew

I had to do something different. I was angry at life, but at the same time, there was no time to slow down. Like I said, I’m an

overthinker, but I’m also aware of the effects of overthinking, so that’s why I said, “High blood pressure if you go think am”

because with everything happening around me–with all the calamities–if I think about them, I’ll just die. For the remix, I was on

my way to a concert when Bella [Shmurda] called me on Instagram and told me that he fucked with the song. He asked me to pull up

to the studio, and at that time, Bella had just lost his friend, Mohbad, so I knew where the energy was coming from.
