“Coming down here the people who had an influence on me were Yogie Doddy then Shatta Wale and when it got to Shatta, the love was deep. Me watching Shatta and spreading the love on social media with him reciprocating that was special to me and eventually, we linked up,” he said.
“The first day I met Shatta Wale was right at the roundabout at Accra Mall and I was actually coming to buy a ticket for Ghana Meet Naija. I was in my car driving and a friend who happened to have seen the number plate told me that was Shatta and we started hitting horns. We knew me from afar because we were already talking online. We started talking and asked me to link up and when he got home he texted me and that’s where it all started,” he continued.

He furthered, “We’ve recorded a lot of songs. Taking Over even came later, we recorded Ghetto Star, Love Me so Real, and a lot of singles before Taking Over passed through and that was the biggest we ever did. I realized it when we went to perform at the University of Ghana during one of 4stye TV’s shows and it was crazy. We literally had to perform it like five times.”
