April 2026: Out of My Comfort Zone: Nigeria, Growth & Letting Go of Control

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:00:00 GMT

I spent the last two weeks in Nigeria reconnecting with myself while my laptop broke and forced me out of my usual routine. In that space, I found a new level of creativity, wrote more than I expected, and leaned into the uncertainty that comes with evolving as an artist. I also talk about announcing my tour, staying sharp through freestyles, and how having a team around me is helping everything move forward.

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT

I introduce the idea behind my upcoming album Industry Games — a project about understanding the real mechanics of the music industry and learning how to play the system in order to disrupt it. I also share the mindset shift that made me realise I already have everything I need to make it happen.
