FOLA, BNXN
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.

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.

FOLA, Kizz Dani...
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.

“you” wasn’t written based on my perspective or something I was going through. My manager, MelvinTheWave, was in love at that
point. He was so in love, and I was always observing him and his actions. So, I was just copying and pasting his lifestyle on that
song. It’s a love song talking about your girl and how she’s making you feel. “You” was written in March of 2025, and it was
produced by Kel P. Kel P is so great at what he does; he won’t let you sing rubbish. He’s one of the producers I’ve met who is
very deliberate about what he does. A lot of producers don’t care about what you’re singing as long as you work with them and use
their beats. Most people just want to record and go, but Kel P won’t let you do that; it has to be up to standard. In fact, he
won’t let you write your songs alone; he wants to listen before you record. He’s very interested in what you want to put down.
Even if it’s great, he’s still looking for a way to make it better.
