That reminds me; those days in
secondary school, my friends used to call me MI. They said I was short and….
Some also advised me to try music because of my voice. Omo, I didn’t o!
So sensational rapper MI in a
recent interview on Sunrise Daily on Channels Tv, opened up on why he hasn’t released
an album and how he felt after his brother Jesse Jagz’s departure from
Chocolate city label, and how it affected his career.
Read excerpt from the interview
after the cut…
On
his long absence from the music industry
Chairman is a song I released
last year, and the next day after I released the song, a couple of changes
started happening in the label. First was my brother (Jesse Jagz) wanting to leave
which I didn't know about, we discussed it and I understood where he was going
with that. But, it just sort of changed the dynamic of the label, and what
happens with music is that ,when you are producing music and relying on people,
when that changes you might need some time to reassess and come back. So I was
supposed to put out my album last year, but it was a good opportunity for me to
re-access and be like this is what I want to do going forward...
Also last year after putting out
the chairman song ,all sorts of opportunities came up and I was so busy last
year .I was travelling , all over the place and didn't have time to record
But this year, we made a
conscious decision with my management that M.I is not going to do anything
until this album is done.
On
Saying he was quitting Music
We did it twice, you know King
James. I released this ambiguous statement that I'm done. I'm sorry. I just
wanted to get their attention .I mean, election season is around the corner and
I wanted to put out these images that will tell young people before they start
advertising to you, have in mind the sort of leader you want
