So with this one, I woke up from one of those naps where you’re sweating. You just took an evening nap, and you wake up, and it
seems like a war just happened. I see like seven missed calls on Snapchat, and it’s from Tycoone, who’s David’s creative director.
I hit him back, and he’s like, “Where are you? David wants to see you.” I’m like, “What the fuck? Alright, bet.” So, I pull up and
we go to this place called Shisha Lounge back then. David has this whole entourage, and there were so many people around him. I
think Peruzzi was with him at that time, and this producer called Fresh. I wanted to sit on the other side because there were so
many people, but Davido called me over to sit right beside him. I was nervous as hell. I was very antisocial at that time. He then
told me to start playing music, and I played “outcast,” then I played “falling,” and he said, “Them go love you for Yankee.” He
then asks me to play him stuff I’d not worked on, and I had the beat for “divine” from Hvrry, the producer. The beat only played
for three seconds, and he was like, “Yeah, this is the one.” That was the first time I’d ever seen someone do that; he hadn’t even
heard the beat for long enough, but he was just like, “Let’s go.” So, we got into the cars and we went to Eko Hotels. He rented
out a suite, and we set up there to work on the song. He kind of added some production stuff; it was the first time I’d seen him
work in person, so it was interesting to see how involved he was in the process. Later on, I found out that he used to produce
music. Working with him was interesting. I feel like if life permits it, and we work on music together again, it would always be
interesting because there’s a certain understanding of production.
