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.
