In an interview with Ms Naa on Live FM, the Juju musician spoke fondly of what Hammer’s belief in his talent has had on his career.
“shoutout to Hammer for giving me all the shots in the world. I will tell you about Hammer, what Hammer did for me was let me see first what is possible when you believe, you know what I’m saying. Hammer was the first believer, all of this out of nothing.”
He adds: “I went to some people’s studios and they straight up look at me like ‘you are not going to make it, why are you going ‘ and Hammer was the only one like ‘you are going to , spread your wings’ and that’s why forever I will always give Hammer props. I will always show him love because he always shows love. He gave a lot of people… look at the long list and a lot of these was out of belief. He saw something in us, that was the fire I went with – like Hammer believed and all these people didn’t so I have to prove that this is possible. Props to Hammer.”
Born and Raised in Accra, the Brooklyn-based rapper’s music is one of a kind. The artiste and his 8-piece band create a unique blend of Hip-Hop and Afrobeat.
