Mary Mary (feat. Leo...

Blaqbonez, LeoStayTr...

The story for this is very funny. That day at Jae5’s studio in February this year, I was so clumsy. I didn't even understand what was going on that

day. I was just knocking over things. At some point, he gave me alcohol. I put it on his keyboard and somehow I knocked it over, and then the

alcohol spilled into the keyboard. Jae5 had to clean it up. He even had to get people to open the whole grand piano and clean it up properly. At

that point, I was like, if I don't make a song that's banging in this place, this guy might never let me in this studio again because of how chaotic

I was. Then, he had a book on the grand piano that was his daughter's book, and as soon as I opened the book, the first rhyme was “Mary had a little

lamb.” As soon as I opened it, I just said “Mary had a little lamb, Mary had a big bunda,” and that's how that song started. I have always been

linking up with LeoStayTrill whenever I'm in London. We always just link up and create music. We have done like two or three sessions before that,

but this is our first song that's actually coming out.

Who's Really Ra...

A-Q, Blaqbonez

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.
