Wizkid joins Zane Lowe on Apple Music to chat about the success of his latest album Made in Lagos, the resilience of music and growing as an artist, collaboration, parenting, lessons learned during quarantine, making music moving forward, and more.
Wizkid Tells Apple Music About The Resilience of Music…
…like you said, music is life, basically. We’re just going to keep creating music and showing our important… even just pull in as Africans, we’re just going to keep doing that every time. Regardless of the environment we’re in. Regardless of the madness around us. We’re always going to keep showing the excellence in the art.
Wizkid Tells Apple Music About The Success of ‘Made in Lagos’…
It feels so great, man. Especially when you spend time making the music and spend a lot of time on the art. It’s just amazing to see that people appreciate the music around the world. Not just Africans because that’s why I make music. I’m just trying to connect to the world and just spread good vibes to the world. So yeah. It’s just very, very… It’s a blessing to me to be here, play my own role and do my own thing. But I’m very thankful. I’m very thankful that people love the album. Every day I wake up it’s like… I see something nice that makes me go, “Oh yeah, we did it. We did a great job, man.”
Wizkid Tells Apple Music About The Importance of Growing as an Artist…
It was very, very important for me to pass my message without losing my name or myself, like as artists, I believe we all want to grow. So we all want to grow. So whenever I make an album or I make a project, I just try to make sure that the growth way very evident. Not just in the music and the art and everything and like the artwork, the videos, the rollout. It was very, very important for me to like… We had to sit and structure all of that. Like I had to make sure that the music was very, very, very, very, very solid. So I definitely, definitely… It was very intentional. I would say it was a very intentional record.
Wizkid Tells Apple Music About Collaborating With Projexx, Damian Marley, and Ella Mai…
You know, first of all, like when two artists go in the room to make music, especially two great artists, you definitely going to create magic. But when you have like two real people or like three real people in the room that you’re bound to make, even like exceptional music. So me getting in the room with Projexx, Damian [Marley], Ella Mai, everyone that I made music with, it was very, very important for me to like, just making music regardless of where the sound was coming from or whatever anyone was bringing to the table. I just wanted to make sure I’m making music. I’m not making music for the name or just cause the name looks nice together or.
Wizkid Tells Apple Music What He Listens To…
I listen to everything, man. You’d be shocked. I listen to everything, everything that comes out I’ll listen. I listen, man, everything, everything I listen to because… Like I said, music is life and I stay, sleep, eat music, that’s in anything I do. So. Yeah. I listen to everything, man. I will get down so like… You think about it, anything you can imagine I listen to. And I listen to a lot of old music too, cause I’m old. So like I love, I love, I love all records.
Wizkid Tells Apple Music About Being an Old Soul…
Like you said, like when I was young I used to hear that word being thrown around. First of all, I thought it was cause I was always cool with the older people. Cause I had like all older friends, I was always hanging out with people a lot older than I was. So I thought, “Oh, maybe that was the reason why,” but as you tend to grow older and you get to know yourself better as a human being and you grow spiritually as well, you tend to understand that term that is deeper than that. Like you’re here for a purpose. You’re here for a reason. I’m here for to cater for family, in case for anyone that crosses their path around me, she’d be good. And it also is deeper. Like when you know the essence of why you care, can you understand it beyond any human understanding? Like trust me, I think that’s what that is. You know? And you just know yourself.
Wizkid Tells Apple Music His Goal As a Parent…
First of all, it’s a crazy generation we’re living in and as time goes by, like they exposed to everything. So it is very, very important to let my kids understand life and understand themselves. I wouldn’t want them to emulate me, be even better human beings. That is my own important role to be able to raise great, amazing human beings, man. But I mean from the soul, cause whenever I meet a great person, I’m happy. Like I feel I go out and like there’s a whole lot of us around. You feel me? So I would just want to always in the midst of everything, in midst of the madness, in midst of how fast the world is growing, like I would just always want my kids to stay true to that. Just by me just staying true to who I am, so yeah.
Wizkid Tells Apple Music About Lessons Learned During Quarantine…
… As human beings, I feel like we have our survival instincts, right. So when everything happens we all just automatically… You just switch into survival mode, like, “Okay, yeah, this is what we’re doing. This is what the world has come to. So we need to keep moving forwards.” That I put that in mind. And secondly, it’s like I love performing, I love the energy from people. So where you don’t get that, I feel like the crazy times were hard but as I see it made everyone understand what is important in life. And us artists you… This is the first time where everyone’s kind of slowed down and paused in like a minute. Like, “Oh no one is really touring and jumping around.” So everyone’s home. Like there’s a more human, like you’re a little bit more human. I feel like that reflects in the music. And so now it’s like, “Oh whoa, you see things a little bit clearer.” Because sometimes you make music, you get in the club, you’re touring, but that’s like… You can be stuck in a place that is not real when you’re on the road, and you’re making music like that. But when you’re home and you’re really going through everything like a normal human being it’s like… You just realize music comes from a real place. Especially when the music comes from a real place for you as an artist and for me it does. So right now it’s like, I’m making some of the most purest, realist music I’ve ever made in life.

Wizkid Tells Apple Music About Finding Peace…
Man, I just found myself. I found my peace, man. I found myself. I found my peace in ways I can’t even put words to explain. I can’t explain it. As we are growing as older people… So when you’re young, it’s like you’re searching like, “Okay, who am I? What?” You’re inspired by a lot of people. So it’s like you’re trying to find yourself. But right now I feel like I’m in the best, I’m in my zone. I know exactly why I’m here. I just found my peace, man. I found my peace in ways I can’t explain.
Wizkid Tells Apple Music About Music Moving Forward…
Yeah, I don’t even, right now I don’t even have to think too deep. Cause the music comes from here. So it’s how I feel. So it just comes easy for me. I’m making some amazing music, man.

WOLFACEJOEYY SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR “MELANIN”

Wolfacejoeyy has just shared a new video for the track “melanin”, off of his recently-released project 22Joeyy – produced entirely by Michael Rainey Jr, who also notably stars in the 50 Cent-produced Starz TV show Power.
Along with the new video, Wolfacejoeyy has also announced that he’ll be joining Eem Triplin on the upcoming “Still Pretty” tour, which kicks off in November and will touch down in major citites like New York, Atlanta, L.A. and more. Wolfacejoeyy has successfully cultivated a unique sound through his forward-thinking fusion of various genres like R&B and Jersey Club into one sound – in the process, he’s accumulated over 13 Million Streams, and was recently championed by SoundCloud for his genre-bending abilities in their series “First On Soundcloud”.
Fresh off the release of the eclectic, 9-track 22Joeyy, “melanin” is an ethereal performance from Wolfacejoeyy that finds him honing in on his melodic flows and bright, playful lyricism – “Went to L.A., shawty eat me like it’s In N Out / My mama called my phone, she said lil boy, stop goin’ in and out / I tell my ma don’t worry, we gon’ make it out“, he sings over the bouncy beat.
As Wolfacejoeyy continues to push the boundaries of genre by leaning into his experimental knack and energetic sound on 22Joeyy, he’s fully embracing his moment and will soon be delivering lively performances across the United States to match.
Wolfacejoeyy is an integral member of New York’s underground Hip-Hop scene, whose work as both a producer and a vocalist has been foundational in pushing the eclectic sound of NYC to the forefront of the genre. Thanks to his bubbling diversity, charming personality and unwavering experimentation, Wolfacejoeyy seamlessly bridges the gap between various sub-genres popular within his city including Jersey Club, classic NY Hip-Hop and the underground futuristic trap scene currently being run by the likes of Yeat & Wolfacejoeyy’s close collaborator SoFaygo.
Backed by 22Joeyy’s lead single “Weekend” (feat. Cash Cobain & Chow Lee) and the new “buku (remix)” (feat. SoFaygo), the release of 22Joeyy finds Wolfacejoeyy expanding upon his signature cutting-edge sound. The consistently bouncy and euphoric sonic backdrops across 22Joeyy’s nine tracks are provided by producer and actor Michael Rainey Jr. Wolfacejoeyy’s complimentary performances flex his smooth vocals and charismatic lyricism, creating a sound that pulls from elements of sample drill to Jersey club that fuse together for a breezy yet bold and progressive project.

Nasty C Tells Apple Music About New Album ‘I Love It Here’, State of South African Hip Hop, Parenthood, and More

South African rapper Nasty C joins Ebro Darden in-studio on Apple Music 1 to discuss his new album ‘I Love It Here’, exploring emotions through music, the state of South African hip-hop following the death of AKA, parenthood, wanting to change his stage name, and more.
Johannesburg, 19 September 2023: Nasty C on How His New Son Influenced His New Album…
I think it added to what I was already kind of going through in my mind, just growing up. I don’t know, just being a bit more honest with what I like, what I don’t like, whether it’s in my music or just with the people that I meet, just being a lot more honest with myself and other people. I think now having a son has just made that even more of a priority. Now I’m setting an example for him and I have to do my best to make sure that I’m a good father.
Nasty C on His Relationship with His Father and His Evolving Perspective…
I used to speak about it a lot in my mixtape days, but back then it was just mostly resentment for him. You know what I mean? Towards him. But now it’s like being older, obviously I’ve gotten over a lot of the things that I had against him, so now it’s like I appreciate him, I understand where he was coming from. I understand the kind of background that he came from and him trying to make sure that we don’t go through the same thing, but at the same time, there’s a bit of a disagreement in the methods that he used and stuff like that. So I’m a lot more understanding. So I speak about these things and I make sure that I speak about how much I appreciate him and his hard efforts.
Nasty C on Being Hesitant to Commit to Therapy…
I’m supposed to, but every time we work on that, me going to therapy and stuff like that, I always bail or it just ends up not happening. Most times it’s not my fault. Sometimes though, I just bail. I get to a point where I’m just like, I’m too scared to do it, and I kind of just punk out or I say, “I’m fine.” I’m like, “I’m good now. I don’t have to.”
Nasty C Says He Still Hasn’t Reached His Full Potential As an Artist…
Best I’ve ever been for sure, but I haven’t reached my full potential yet. Nowhere close. I have a long way to go. A lot of the artists that I look up to are incredible at what they do, and I want to be that good or better. I don’t think I’m there yet.
Nasty C on the State of the South African Hip-Hop Community Following the Death of AKA…
I think it’s still fresh in our minds. Just the fact that he’s gone and the way that he lived. So hip hop is not in its best state right now. But as far as the creativity and how good the guys are at making music just period, and the type of albums that are coming out from the new hip hop guys, I think it’s in a very, very good place sonically. But as far as us getting together and doing our own shows and just getting together a bit more, man and really pushing the movement, I think we’re slowly getting back into gear. We’re not there yet though, but it’s getting there.
Nasty C on the Origin of His Stage Name…
It’s a weird story, man. So I started rapping when I was nine years old, right? And there was a guy that used to record me, he was very close with my big brother. He was kind of like a big brother to me in a way. One of the days when I was there recording before I started recording, actually I was there and he had a session to finish up before he started with mine. He was just talking to his other friend. He was like, “Yo, that’s a nasty cat right there.” My name was Man Jay at the time, and it was a lot of Man Z, Man K, Man this, Man that. I wanted a unique name. So when he called me that, I just kind of took it.
Nasty C Says He Plans To Change His Name to Ivyson When The Time Is Right…
I would, yeah, but I feel like I have to reach a certain level in my career first before I could change that. Yeah, and just be like Ivyson. That’s it. Yeah, I have it lined up already. I’m just waiting for the right moment. You know? I think I have to make it in the world first, globally. Everyone has to recognize me and then I could change it.

Paapa Versa Releases Fun and Scenic Music Video for “Okada”.

On September 15, Paapa Versa unveiled a mesmerizing music video for his song “Okada.” The track is part of his latest album, “Versa Villa,” which consists of ten songs and was released earlier this year. Ghanaian music icon E.L also features in “Okada,” adding to the excitement around the release.
Award-winning international filmmaker Joseph Akwasi directed the video, shot amidst the breathtaking views of the Aburi highlands. The video focuses on the lush green foliage, making it visually stunning and creative. The video starts with a monologue that cleverly references Paapa’s 2014 hit “Write for Me” by using a clip of a young Paapa with “Write for Me” playing in the background. The video concludes similarly, with a fascinating visual illusion created by clips of young and current Paapa constantly interchanging.

Paapa showcases his musical prowess by playing various instruments, including an acoustic guitar, midi, and a synthesizer, in numerous scenes throughout the video. Ghanaian actress and singer Adomaa plays his love interest as they travel through Aburi, and featured artist E.L also makes a fun appearance in the video. Jerry One spices up the video with entertaining choreography as the dancers gyrate against the splendid scenery.
“Okada” is an upbeat song with Ghanaian drums and a mellow tempo. Its creative lyrics communicate a deep affection for someone and a willingness to go through thick and thin together. In a triple entendre, the lyrics also artfully compare his love for music to loving a woman while using words that describe traveling. Produced by Paapa and Drvmroll, the Afrobeat song mixes jazz and pop elements in parts of the song, showcasing Paapa Versa’s musical prowess. His emotionally rich vocals serve as the cherry on top.
Born Edwin Paapa hMensa, Paapa Versa is a versatile Ghanaian producer, singer-songwriter, rapper, and podcaster. He has received much attention and respect for his empathetic and broad musical style since his debut. The lead single, “Write for Me,” off his sophomore album Songs for Kukua, received massive airplay and critical acclaim, locally and internationally. In 2021, he changed his stage name from Paapa to Paapa Versa, with the Versa as an abbreviation of versatile.
As a gifted multi-instrumentalist, Paapa can play most instruments but is well-versed in the piano, drum kit, ukulele, bass, electric guitars, and percussion instruments. His genre-bending music is often labeled as eclectic, insightful, uplifting, and more. Paapa’s greatest wish is to inspire people everywhere to utilize their gifts and follow their dreams.

Ahuofe Patri Opens Up About Depression, Scariest Movie She Ever Shot And Broken Heart

Famed Ghanaian actress and model Priscilla Opoku Agyeman, also known as Ahuofe Patri recently broke the mold when she appeared on “Ride and Chat.” During the episode, she candidly discussed her rise to fame, success stories, vulnerabilities, and real-life experiences.
She underlined the importance of open communication among young people with trusted family members because depression is prevalent in this day and age. Additionally, because it doesn’t simply affect celebrities, it is also possible for their admirers to experience it as a result of the glitz and glamour displayed on social media. She also showed her strong attitude about depression by not acknowledging its existence.
She cited the film “The Big Six” as being the most difficult she had ever shot, particularly the frightening cemetery sequence. This statement exemplifies the difficulties actresses must overcome to pursue their artistic goals. Additionally, it demonstrates how adaptable she is as an actress because she ventures outside of her comfort zone to give engaging performances.
Additionally, she admitted that losing her mother was the first time she truly experienced a broken heart, “My heart was shattered when I lost my mother,” she said.
