16-year old Adelana Olaosebikan (Kid Blaize) joins The Growing league of Nigerian rappers. This Young, Multi Talented Artiste uses his musical gifts to effect change in Nigeria and the world. Having released the single from his heavily anticipated mix tape "One Of A Kind" he is currently finishing the project, and it is set to be released soon. The Jangilova crooner shares his thoughts with us…
What motivated you to do music?
My Main Motivation is to inspire people through Music.
Like The Story of Most Rappers I started off with poetry. Naturally, poetry led to rap which I began at the age of 12. When I was in my secondary school boarding house, we always had rap sessions where I always entertained people. I was the guy in the dorm who knew the lyrics of artists like Jay z and Lil Wayne, by the age of 14 I was writing my own songs.
How Do You Hope To Stand Out in The Competitive Rap Terrain?
I am different From the Pack because I don't talk about just one thing. This Point is stressed in My Soon to be released Mix tape. There will be a lot of serious issues addressed, there will also be loads of songs to enjoy, have fun and dance to. Kid Blaize Is One Diverse Rapper To Listen to.
What inspires your songs?
I am inspired by my environment, What I See and What I hear. My Inspiration is also influenced by my mood. If I’m in a mood to dance, I Call my producer Haze Beatz and ask for a party beat. If I am chilling in my crib and there's no electricity I might rap about the poor governance in the country and if I hear an up and coming artiste being a copy cat I might put on a beat and do a quick freestyle.
There are a lot of young artistes like you but you seem to have gained some recognition among your peers, how has the road to success been?
Jangilova was last year's hit song, what next should we expect from you?
It's all About the Mixtape "One Of A Kind" Dropping This summer. There has been no specific Release Date but it should be out by late July. New singles will be out in a few weeks There Will Be Features from Fellow Talented Artistes like DHEsir, Shayne, M.P And Some Other Surprise Guests you will get to know very soon. Stay Tuned For Good Music.
Who are your Favorite Artistes?
