This is a personal message from the artist
Rib Cage Music is something I have been working for some time now. The tape was
actually supposed to be released last year on February 19, which happens to be
my birthday but due to certain circumstances was pushed back indefinitely. I
know Sergio from high school but I and he really linked up somewhere in August
and we started serious work. Sergio suggested I finish up the mix tape. We
started by re doing some of the original songs like My Name Is Dopey which was
initially recorded on swi beats’ Its Me B**ches. Sergio put some scratches on Don
Ja y’s
Enigma and I dropped my lines on it. We also redid Ired. I made my brother Don
Sedem do a patwoi verse and a hook, my Nigerian friend and the renowned rapper
Viva retouched his verse and Drilix also put a 16 on. We also redid Friends with
Benefits with Kei y. I had already recorded My Music with Trebla, Skills and
Hot Jam sometime in March. I wanted to recreate something with a similar feel
so I did two more songs, Rib Cage Music 1 and 2… I needed someone who could do
something dope, deep and real so I hit up my man Kojo Cue and got my girl
Phillipa to do a hook, for RCM 1. The verse on RCM 2 is actually a very old one
I wrote for a poetry event.
Talking
about poetry, I decided to flaunt my poetry skills on Adele’s beat. “Life is a
b**ch” is a piece I try to use to tell the world that even though we hate our
lives and the things that happen to us sometimes, it’s still all we got hence
the ending, “life is a b**ch but I guess I keep forgetting that b**ch is life”
Everyone
who knows me knows I wear African textiles a lot. I hit up my brother Lex
Wealth who is also in the fashion and we did a joint. That’s how SOAP came
about. Sergio of course did the beat. The last song “Spartans” is a song I did
for Independence Hall in KNUST when they were about to do their dinner and
awards night. We did not really use it so I decided to throw it in there as a
bonus cos I did that song for the love of Indece (even though I was still paid
lol).
Ihope everyone will enjoy the tape, or at least a part of it. Every song on the
tape has a different audience been targeted. Feel free to let me know what you
