S2E7: God dey share talent ft. Chuka Obi
This week we sat down with who we’d like to describe as an all-round creative - Chuka Obi, also known as DaSuki to those who are familiar with his music. Chuka has been involved in the branding of different companies including Pepsi, Johnnie Walker, Guiness and more. We talk about his work on Burna Boy’s Twice as tall, the Grammy win that came with it, advertising in Nigeria, his top Nigerian rappers, and more. We also learn about his journey as a creative and his most notable advert.
Chuka, a.k.a DaSuki also talks to us about his music journey and his recently released album, “Blackgodzilla” - a feel good, golden age vibe, which is named after the producers of the project: Black Intelligence, Illgod & amphibious, and TeckZilla. All the tracks are cleverly themed after the numbers they represent on the track list.

S1E11: 2020 na concept, no be year ft. Olayinka and Jaylon
In the final episode of this season, we have Yinka, the baddie, and record producer Jaylon with us to recap some of the events of 2020. We spoke about the impact of COVID-19 on December and the year as a whole. We got into most of the projects that dropped in 2020, the producers that showed out, our old faves that came out to play, and the two most arguable categories; next rated and artist of the year. We deliberated if with the rise of the amapiano sound, is the zanku sound dying? Finally, we came to the conclusion that 2020 was a concept and not exactly a year.
