It’s interesting how this song was created. We were on our way to Nigeria for the completion of Rahim D Wezard’s Album and got stranded at the airport because the flight couldn’t make it as scheduled. I got bored easily with waiting so I pulled out my laptop from my bag which I never leave behind wherever I go and opened my FL studio. With no particular aim of creating a record, I started messing around with sounds and got a vibe. The whole process changed from that point onward as I started paying attention to what I was creating. Little did I know I was making a jam for the album. Fast forward, I arranged the draft I had created into a song and saved for later.
Having spent the whole day and night at Lungi International Airport it was finally boarding time at about 6:30 the following morning and we were air bound to Lagos.
Couple hours later we arrived, booked an uber and headed to the apartment we rented for the period. I was exhausted but upon arrival and seeing my brothers Quanma (Hejenah CEO) and Rahim (Artist) it felt like new energy was injected into my already shutting down body. They had gone ahead of us as they traveled from the U.S a day before we took off from Sierra Leone. The sleep I so much needed transitioned into laughter and catching up with the boys sharing the terrible experience we had at the airport. Anyways, we moved on to having lunch and settling down a bit before it was time to unpack the studio I traveled with for “vibe time.”
While unpacking, I told Quanma that I have two songs in the album for Rahim and quite honestly, the beat I last made at the airport was not in mind. I was looking forward to build from scratch with Rara. Long story short, it was time to work and my computer was on sleep mode so the first project that came up was the previous. I pressed play just to refresh my ears and boom Rahim sprang from his seat and said “nor change am o.”He immediately started humming a melody to the beat and was ready to record with no delay. As a team, we put the lyrics together and we were almost done with the track but one more thing was needed; a bassline. To be sincere with myself as a music producer, baselines are not one of my favorite parts in the creation process so I often leave them for post production. While I was sound searching to lock in the baseline, Quanma suggested to use a log drum just for a change. I was going to be reluctant to the idea but on the other hand didn’t mind trying it out anyways. Boom and that’s how we got the amapiano vibe on the hook. Bash Beatz flew in two days after and mix and mastered the track which has been released as the first single and visual of the MMIF Album by Rahim D Wezard.
