Wande Coal tells Apple Music about the Title of His Album, ‘Legend Or No Legend’

 

You know I’m not always on social media like that but there was a certain day I just noticed my phone was buzzing. I just didn’t understand so I went through my phone and it was on Twitter.

Somebody had said ‘“Is it right to call Wande Coal a legend?” And it turned into a problem.

I just didn’t have it, I just put “Legend or no legend, I just love making music” – that’s period – and that’s where I got the inspiration from. It’s good fun to ask, so that through my music I can show them what I do.

Wande Coal talks to Apple Music About Inspiring Other Artists

 

I would say this that’s happening is intentional. Back in the day there was no social media at the time and everyone was fighting for themselves, but with me I knew music never ends. I already had this knowledge of working with a lot of people, inspiring other people and trying to learn from other people, so for me I already knew that everybody was gonna have their own shine. I knew it! So me impacting into their sound is such a great thing, that I’m still here, experiencing everything. It’s a good look, I love it. Everybody’s on fire!

Wande Coal tells Apple Music about the Energy of His New Album

Special, different, outside the box, away from this universe it’ll make sense, pretty much.

With the album, the energy is [that] I’m inspiring others. I’m inspiring a lot of people to wake up, fight for themselves and be better people for themselves.

Ebro sits down with Black Sherif to dissect his debut album The Villain I Never Was, and talk about how it feels to play his first run of shows in the US

Black Sherif says “The Homeless Song” was inspired by a period when he was actually homeless: 

There was a turning point in my life that I was homeless. And from that time, how I saw things changed. And a few of the songs that I put on the album, I had written before The Homeless Song. But I felt like that point, that pivoting could be a proper start. That’s why I put it first. Because it happened within 24 hours, like 16 hours back I was at home with my boys. Fast forward, not even 24 hours after, I’m homeless in a car. No place to stay. It be crazy. So I wrote that song just that night.

Black Sherif says that people call him Kwaku because of “Kwaku the Traveller,” along with other names that stem from his music:

With me, every three months there’s a sound growth in my studio. So every era of that sound growth, at all the evolutions, they have nicknames, they have alter egos and names and stuff. Because at first when I was starting to write music, I used to say Sad Man Story. And it went on, Blacko, Kwaku Killer, Kwaku Rasta. I have so many names in the streets and everybody know the name. Yeah. You could say, “Who is Kwaku Rasta?” I will tell you that’s Black Sherif. “Who’s Kwaku Killer?” Black Sherif. “Who is KK?” Black Sherif. They know the names. So I just leave it to whatever you want to call me, call me. People even call me by my auntie’s name, Auntie Mary. I’m like, “Yeah.” I said it in my song, that’s what you heard. Call me by that. Let’s go man. It’s a story. My mom call me Sherif. My dad call me Rasta. Kwaku Rasta.

RYLTY shares attractive Alté collab with producer, Zodivc

Having a wild imagination beats raw talent and RYLTY (though not lacking the latter) manifests this mantra: “As someone who is an indoor baby, it’s easy to get lost in my thoughts and dream-up scenarios. Time alone is always an opportunity to explore my emotions”, she says. It seems RYLTY can make any moment feel like an epic poem of pain, love or anything in-between. Her ability to hit listeners’ soft spots is one to kill for. And if you somehow missed her bold yet bittersweet debut, ‘Non Stop’, it’s time to play catch up. (more…)
