It would seem that it is album season, with all the albums released and due to be released in this month alone. Next of course is Vector’s two singles – due on Valentine’s Day, 14th of February and 26th February respectively, ahead of his 4th Album.
It would be recalled that contrary to the well-publicized beef between the conventional rapper and his colleague MI created lots of buzzes about two years ago, but now the duo has reconciled and had to make a track in a bid to preach love and moving forward.

He said; “I made money from the beef tracks I did for MI. The records sold. There seems to be a ‘sweetness’ that comes with beef records. So they were streamed a lot.”

“We trended at number 2 in the US, both verses trended at number one on, Genius, the lyrics website. This means that Nigerians can write what the whole world can read and understand and we will trend. So yes, there was that.”

“Of course, I was paid by the brand. How would that have been? That the brand would come, offer us alcohol, and record the reconciliation? No.”

“There is still business going on. And that is also one of the highlights that you can share with up and coming rappers. Don’t be stupid to pick a fight overgrowth. You must know when to stop being hard-headed as a person. A lot of brands had called to make the reconciliation happen but I guess it had to be them.”

“You will be amazed by the kind of realizations that you encounter when you speak with the person that you had beef with. You will realize the people that are with you but ‘are not with you.’”

“I saw it with him and he saw it with me. People that wanted to be relevant in the argument. People that I thought were my guys that would call him. It helped expose people that would not have been exposed if there was no beef. We understood that.”

“TESLIM as an album. First, I had just released the Lafiaji album and when we were gearing up to make the album, my dad died. That energy just sunk the idea. We were at the funeral home when a friend of mine whispered to another friend that he should observe my looks as I was in deep thoughts.”

“I was staring at my dad’s casket when it dawned on me, TESLIM, you are gone but your energy still remains. I took the letters to his name and it made the acronym; T.E.S.L.I.M, which stands for The Energy Still Lives In Me.”

“Finding out that Teslim means peacemaker and looking at our society today, there seems to be so much negativity flying around. For example among the youths, I see a bright future but there is so much argument. On social media, there is a lot of competition.”

“People are so keen to pull each other down because of ranks and that should not be. Competition is healthy but beyond that, there is a lot of negativity in our society with the younger generation.”

“I felt it will be nice to have an album that will inspire us. It would be nice for us to think forward, be happy. It will be nice for music to be beyond making money but we should preach messages that will inspire hope and togetherness.”
