My name is Kayode Moses Oluwaseun

While preparing for this episode, we got hooked on Connected, it told a story of endurance. What’s the backstory to the track?

Connected is actually a very special track to me. Fun fact I was just showing a producer friend of mine (juju beats) how to do a reverse 808s on Fl studio and right after I showed him how to do it from scratch he just suggested I make it into a whole beat cos the 808’s were fire just by itself already. So I just started building on that and making the beat and the moment I got the chords I knew this was going to be it. The rest is history as they say

We saw your Production credit on Ice Prince’s Fire & Ice project. how did that link up come about?

That has actually been a major highlight of my year. I met Ice Prince late 2022, I was invited to come for a session to produce at his crib. We made a couple of records that night. But it was not until early 2023 when he called me back personally to come work on his project. We were locked in for over 8months just recording and making Amazing music. Ice My big OG and friend.

A very curious question champ, with the kind of music and craft. We are surprised you gained more popularity this year. What was the challenge?

To me I just believe God’s timing is simply the best. We been putting in work and Glad to see it’s getting recognized

When are you e expecting that Ice Prince feature?

Say less. Me and Big Bro got bangers for days, my next single will be featuring him.

How do you go about feature request from other artists?
