A rapper and producer, Phyno
(Chibuzo Nelson), on Friday, in Lagos said that language was not a barrier to
the appreciation of music as music had no language.
Phyno, who is renowned for doing his
songs in Igbo language, said that he was grateful to God that all his hard
work had eventually paid off.
“At first I was bothered but if you
knew things about music you will understand that music has no language.
“One of the biggest songs between
last year/this year is `Khona’ and we in Nigeria, we don’t even know what they
are saying, so that’s how music is for you.
“You don’t need to understand what
they say; just go with the flow as long as they come clear when it comes to
their visuals so that’s why I take more time in my videos too.
“Being consistent is like one big
challenge that every artiste that is already out has to face unless you are not
out and you just have to fight for coming out or just to be relevant.
“But once you are out, the biggest
challenge has to be consistency,’’ he said.
Phyno disclosed that he was
currently engaged in a “collaboration album’’ with “Olamide’’(Adedeji), a
renowned rap artist who raps mostly in the Yoruba language, and described
their union as a “divine blessing.’’
Phyno is signed on to Sputnet Records
and has hits like `Alobam’, ‘Obago’, ‘Man of the Year’ and the smash
collaboration, ‘Ghostmode’, featuring Olamide.
His full album titled, ‘No Guts No
Glory’, was released earlier this year.
