“Everybody was sleeping, but I couldn’t sleep because I had already slept in the afternoon. The insomnia led me to David’s studio where I found a laptop with no beat. In that space, I downloaded the beat to ‘Panda’ by Desiigner, saw a picture of Fela on the wall and recorded my freestyle about Fela.
“When David heard it, he said I had to complete the song which only had a hook and one verse. I completed the song, left the laptop in front of David’s door and went back to mainland.”
