A celebrated Nigerian music icon returns to BeatsToRapOn to share business insights, mentorship wins, album updates—and a powerful call for global peace through vibration.

We’re thrilled to welcome back our returning guest—a legend of the Nigerian music scene—on BeatsToRapOn. Since his first informal chat, he’s been mentoring emerging artists, refining his business philosophies, and steering projects that blend creativity with sustainability. In this candid conversation, he breaks down:

  • Entrepreneurship in Music: How he’s built and scaled ventures off-stage, mentoring the next generation and ensuring revenue streams stay strong.
  • Second Album Deep Dive: The creative process of revisiting old tracks, drawing lessons from past challenges, and crafting 21 new songs that resonate with his evolving vision.
  • Consciousness & Crisis: A heartfelt moment of silence for global conflicts—from Israel to Nigeria’s own farmers-herdsmen crisis—and a plea for unity.
  • Music as Medicine: Why vibrating at higher frequencies (think OM, roots reggae, “natural mystic”) can counteract fear-driven forces and realign humanity with Mother Earth.
  • Spiritual Soundscapes: Tapping into ancient wisdom—from Rastafarian roots to Indian “OM” physics—to produce songs that heal, awaken, and inspire positive change.

Whether you’re an aspiring artist, music entrepreneur, or simply curious about the power of sound to shift global consciousness, this episode delivers raw insight, spiritual depth, and actionable takeaways.

Here we are, we're back, we're back with a very known artist, very famous, popular artist in Nigeria. Yeah, have you been since? Maybe you can do a quick introduction of yourself and give the listeners a bit of an update on what you've been doing since the last time we chatted. Okay, thank you so much once again to be on Beats to Rap. This is honorable, this is very pleasant and I've been so excited because I've been on a podcast for the second time and, you know, I still have the first podcast rolling on and, you know, I see the views are increasing on a daily basis. Even though the first podcast was really very informal, I must apologize to my fans because I didn't really prepare for what was out there that day and, you know, I'm quite excited that it's actually catching on fast with the fans out there and, you know, the message I've been able to pass across is seemingly trying to connect with other ideas concerned with what I said and, you know, I still will be very honored to buttress more on those past experiences from the first podcast. Thank you so much for being on Beats to Rap on a second time. Namaste. No, no, thank you for being on. We're very humbled, we're, you know, we're just a very new platform, you know, I'm very honored to host guests like yourself who can share these messages with the world. So, yeah, so what have you been doing since the since the last podcast? Okay, so, you know, it's been quite, being an entrepreneur, it's been quite engaging, you know, I've had to mentor a lot of mentees and, you know, trying to expand on my business philosophies and ideas and trying to grow. So that's kept me very busy, you know, and engaged in so much activities, a lot of business plan developments, projects and ideas being concepted and, you know, trying to build on pre-existing projects and, you know, trying to grow the sustainability of the business because we really need the money and it's quite important to see that what brings in the money is sustained and the right imputes are actually there. So I've been quite busy, very busy with my, you know, entrepreneurship adventure, if I may use that context. So that's what's kept me very engaged and I'm also been on the ground trying to lace up more tracks for the second album and, you know, it's been quite intense because I've been brainstorming because of the second album, you know, I really been thinking what I need to put together something new, something different and I had to go back to the drawing board and review some of my old songs and try to bring them back on board. You know, I realized I had some challenges as usual, but I think I'm working on the relevant corrections to ensure my second album fully in the first 21 songs on the platform right now will actually pass the message across just the way the first album has done. Thank you very much. That's awesome and what was it like kind of going back through some of your old tunes and, you know, talk us through what, you know, kind of like a bit of the process that you followed. Yeah, that's a bullet, that's a bullet, that's a bullet. I got it really in my heart, really. First of all, I want to say a moment of silence for the dead people in Israel and Iran and, you know, the recent crisis from Ukraine and Russia. I'm very sad, I'm very sympathetic and, you know, I'm really touched by what is going on the world right now and I really feel, you know, we really have to put hands on deck and have the right mindset for humanity right now because the world is going through an energetic transformation and humanity right now has to get conscious about what is going on because, I must say this, I'm sorry, the killings are not just there but they're also here in Africa. We're getting them right here in my state, Jos Plata State, Nigeria. You know, it's really sad to see what's going on, the farmers headsman crisis, you know, people dying on a daily basis, women being slaughtered and the babies being removed from their stomachs. You know, it's horrifying what's going on in the world right now but I want to tell people right now that this is the time to wake up, this is the time to rise up because this is the time to become more conscious what's happening because what the world is craving for, what earth is craving for right now is the right mindset of people, like I said in my first podcast. It's time for us to rise up and, you know, channel our energies towards bringing back peace to earth. The earth is crying because the earth gives everything to us. We are part of the earth, the animals are part of the earth, the plants are part of the earth and the mother earth is crying because she's sipping a lot of blood down and this is not what she wants and I can tell you the earth will rage against humanity if we don't take precautious measures right now. The earth is going to do something drastic to we humans and we really can't hold back what will happen and I don't think even a nuclear bomb will be able to, you know, take the lives the earth will do if she gets angry with humanity because the earth is bleeding, the earth is sad, the animals are sad, the plants are sad and it's time we sit back and think as humans because what's out there happening right now is a manipulation. There is a sect of crazy heads out there who are just, you know, making a hell of a profit from the shit going around the world right now. We have to really know we are the only things that matters right now and we really have to come together and fight against this force. It's a negative force trying to destroy humanity and it's gaining from the blood spills and, you know, the lives, the terror, the fear and humanity is being, you know, driven into a state where we're losing the right focus towards bringing back, you know, the consciousness of humanity and we really have to work very hard right now to see to it that earth, you know, regains her stability or else we lose everything when the earth goes berserk, you know. So, I crave to humans all over the world right now. We have to become more conscious. We have to think about what's going on right now and channel our energies towards, you know, seeing peace restored to earth. We're all one. We're all what we have. We're all the same. The same blood runs through our veins. I mean, what is gaining from our blood spills all over the world right now is the evil forces, you know, the dark forces and they are really getting a lot of pleasure from what is happening. So, we really have to know that we're feeding something out there with what we're doing and instead of trying to protect humanity and, you know, war against this negative force trying to suppress humanity. So, please, the whole earth, this is my moment of silence and humanity, I pray, will become more conscious and we ward away what is happening right now on earth. Please, all the leaders on the earth have to really think and remember we have generations. We have nations who haven't tasted what is technology. We have nations who haven't grown into where other nations are today. So, we're depriving opportunity. We're depriving, you know, exploits in new areas in life if we continue driving towards a third world war right now. Please, I crave the indulgence and indefatigable effort of humanity to change the narratives. Thank you. Before I go back to my point. And how can we, how do you think we can use music to help push or scale that kind of thinking that you're thinking about? Yeah, thank you very much. It's a great pleasure and great honor to answer this question. You know, as a deep thinker, I must have to say one very important point here is that there are two forces, you know, we have the good and the bad, the positive, negative, you know, contending right now. And we must, deep things I can't really say here, but I'll try to be as simplified as possible. Take for instance, you know, the universe is very large and we have billions of galaxies in the universe and they're made of stars. Stars are suns. Suns are sources of energy. And just imagine, you know, capturing four stars and, you know, creating a super void. And the super void we're talking about here is a section in the universe, which is very much undefined by the belief that there are forces that crave for energy. And if we're talking of intergalactical beings, we're talking about energy thriving creatures that we don't really know much about. And I'm streamlining this ideology to humanity right now. What is happening on earth right now has to do with some negative forces thriving on mankind's fear. Mankind's, you know, the pressure humanity is facing right now by what is going on earth wide. We are losing it. And the energy we are venting by virtue of what is happening right now is being gained by some other entities. And we are feeding some other entities from our fear through the destructions, the killings, the wars, the massive death tolls. It's feeding some other entities in some other dimensions. So we have to be wise right now to understand that we're dealing with energy, vibrations. We are actually resonating in the wrong frequency. So we have to go to higher planes. We have to transcend above the snake line, the reptilian consciousness, where fear, death, blood is what they feed off from humanity. So at this point in time, I'm calling on humanity to become more conscious about the energies we're absorbing. Hate, racism, any form of human degradation, erroneous beliefs, derogatory ideologies must be debunked. We must see each other as one. And so we need songs right now that will call the consciousness of mankind towards peace. And these are not ordinary songs. These are songs with deep vocabularies, deep perspective of delivery of messages through songs, vibrating at a very high frequency, telling people the truth without fear, irregardless of the consequences. It's time for mankind to be able to transmit energies that are positive to counteract, bring to null and void the current frequencies and energies mankind is resonating to right now. So we need artists who understand the use of language, the use of vocabularies to expand shape and bring to consciousness humanity what is happening right now and telling them the way forward is love. Earth itself, mother earth, it's so sad. Mother earth is bitter. The blood we're spilling on the earth right now is causing the earth to rage. We're going to see phenomenons. We're going to see things the earth is going to do right now that it's going to be very unusual. You know, I see hurricanes, I see tornadoes, I see tsunamis, I see earthquakes coming. Let me tell you, these are not just because of the man's activities on earth alone. They are negative, quite okay, some of them, but we're going to see the earth actually rage against humanity for what we're doing. So we have to be quick about this because we can't fight against mother earth. She brought us to be every animal to the most single unicellular organism. Earth, mother earth produced it. We must respect earth. The blood we're giving to this earth, it's rejecting it. It doesn't want it. It never meant for it. It gives life. We're giving back to earth what it doesn't want. So we've had instances where back to history, we've had phenomenons that have destroyed humanity beyond any context of a nuclear or hydrogen bomb or whatever kind of bomb they want to create. So it's time for humanity to know that we're going against the laws of the earth. And so we have to use music and use it in a positive manner. We have to try to be more realistic about the situation and try to pass a message about unity, love, and the power that the earth has to offer to mankind for us to get back to that state of peace and tranquility again, and to make the earth happy. We really have to make the earth happy or she'll make us very sad. And it ain't going to be anybody's fault this time. It's going to be the fault of humanity in general, because we've gone across every threshold of what humanity is supposed to be right now. Yeah. What are the sorts of things that artists could, like the sort of words then, I guess, I'm just trying to think like, you know, like what are those sorts of words that have a lot of power? What's the kind of key or the notes that kind of resonate the most? Thank you. Thank you. I'll go back to Bobby Nesta Mali. I'll take us back to Bobby Nesta Mali. This is a prophet. And, you know, he said a song, he sang a song, and he said some words like this. There is a natural mystic flowing in the air. If you listen very carefully, you will hear. We lost a legend and his songs today must be risen to the level where consciousness must synchronize. All consciousness must synchronize back to Nesta Mali. This is one man who spoke exactly what is happening on earth right now. And because we're negligent of the words in his songs, we're negligent of the messages Bobby was trying to pass on. And, you know, today we're paying the dire consequences for this. So I think we must go back to reggae music, roots reggae music. We must listen to what the Rastafarianism is trying to tell humanity. You know, it's so extreme that it's a vegetarian culture. It's a vegetarian belief. And these are people who understand what plants stand for, because even plants communicate. In situations where they are threatening plants, send certain electrical signals, vibrations, you see, to other plants, notifying them that there is a threat within them. If plants could be this sensitive, then you could understand the perspective of a vegetarian. If it were possible not to even eat a plant, then it means man should live on energy. So ideally, we're far beyond just eating meat, enjoying pastries and all the earth has to offer. We're far above this. We're created to resonate at a very high frequency in which, you know, we could do things like the superhuman capacity, like I said once, could do. We're being limited by this negativity, by this hatred, by this lack of love, this self-centeredness, this drive for power. I want to be the greatest. I think the greatest should be that who could help, who could touch lives, who could reach out to people, who could bring humanity to a consciousness where we know that we're all one, even the animals, the plants. Yeah, and I think at this stage, we have to go back quickly to the drawing board. The world leaders are missing the point. They're missing it all out of what it's really intended to be. The blueprints are not being followed, and this is because of greed, self-centeredness, hatred, and the lots we could list amongst these negative vices we have within us as humans. We have to change our mindset. We have to change our hearts, our perception. We have to believe that we are all that we have to save this planet Earth. We ain't going to see Jesus coming down here, man. I'm not waiting for Jesus. I'm waiting to be Jesus on Earth right now, and I think it's time we all have to know that we have the capacity to do what is right, or else we're going to lose it all, and this Earth will go berserk, and the whole Earth will be extinct of anything called life in its forms. We're driving ourselves there. We have different forms of weapons traveling towards the ozone, and a lot of protections from electromagnetic waves are becoming porous, and the sun itself is going to take its vengeance on Earth, and I'm telling you, when the time comes, ain't nobody going to escape it. It's better we change the consciousness and the narratives right now before it's too late. We ain't going to go to Mars. Mars was destroyed, so I don't know how we want to go make Mars better when we have Earth. Yeah. It's interesting, like, the interesting take on vibration. I want to just go back there a little bit. So you mentioned about resonance, and you mentioned about kind of like vibration and music and how it can change things and people and have the effect on different things in the universe. What's your take on how that relates to music? That's not a great question. Let me ask. I'm just trying to think what my question is. I like the question. I mean, I'm welcoming this question with all hearts, and I'll tell you, I'm privileged to be half Indian. My father's Punjab. My mother's Nigerian from Delta. They call them Urobo. A lot of cultural, you know, parities, cultural shocks, in other words. But I was able to blend all this together because there's always a purpose for everything. I must say this. Everything happening right now requires a set of people to rise up, a set of people who know what is in them, and start decreeing and start meditating positive vibes across the four corners of the earth and take control. Like, is there a particular key? You know, the Indians talk about the OM. The OM still stands with the signatory of the OM in physics. The OM is the resistance. OM's law. It's the resistance against the flow of current within a conductor when a voltage is passed. Now, the OM is a sound, and it's a sound that's beyond what we have here. It's a resonating frequency at a pitch not so conventional to everyone. And when you see this Oriental religions and beliefs, the OM is a sound. It's a homing sound. When meditating, the sound resonates to bring peace. When meditating, it enables you to disengage from your worldly, humanly attachments and thoughts and perceptions, ideas, and let go your soul for the freedom of peace flow from the crowns of your head to the soles of your feet and the chakras, the energy chakras across the body. These are the points that are being distorted right now across all humanity. And I won't go too deep to the pituitary gland. And this is a part of the brain that also works with this resonating sound of the OM. It's the third eye. Here, we're talking about a consciousness that is no longer within the conscious domains. The XYZ domains we're conversant with. We're talking of a more higher plane where we can be able to channel our thoughts at the state of peace in such a way that we could manifest positive thoughts in the physical realms of the XYZ here and see them happen. And so we're calling on conscious minds who are artists, musicians, to try to resonate in this positive higher domain frequencies, energies, electromagnetic waves of unique nature to download these messages that will transform humanity. And that's why I give example of there's a natural mystic flowing in the air. If you listen carefully, you will hear. It's time that we understand that we have the power to change the negativity. Eva Torwell's anything I learned in the messages of Jesus was only one thing I knew. He said, love thy neighbor as thyself and love the creator, God, with all your heart and your soul. If love persists for your neighbor, there's no iota of thoughts concerned with evil that you have to hobble against your neighbor. And if you could do that, then it means you love God with all your heart and your soul and your strength and your might. Love has to be genuine right now. Humanity have to have men who will rise up to channel their energies to see that love manifests in this powerful form on earth right now. This is the time. It's not about a Muslim. It's not about a Christian. We're all facing the same. Okay, I'll use this word. We're all on the same boat, being on the same boat, whether you encounter an incidents, a situation, a problem, it is common to all mankind right now. Nothing. If I have AIDS, another brother can have HIV. If I have tuberculosis, another brother can have tuberculosis. If I got hit by a car on the road and I died, some other person could got hit by a car and die on the road. So we are all threatened by the same fear. So why don't we change this fear to love and affect all humanity? The gross evil going on right now on earth, it's really horrifying. I mean, back here in Africa, what is happening with the so-called yahoo yahoo boys, sacrificial procedures to make money, sacrificing your mother, your father, your baby, your child, just picking an innocent victim online and inviting him to some place and murdering such a person with no care, no concern, no fear for life. And you're also breathing. It's time. We know that there's a dire consequence coming. It won't be selective. I'm sorry to say when it comes, it's going to sweep like a tsunami. It would be no, there would be no escape. There will be no selection. It's just going to take who it has to take when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. So it's time. We really try to see to it that these vibrations we tap into for music must be channeled to sing positive conscious music for humanity. You could be an artist. You could have all concepts of songs. We're trying to make sure you have one or two or three songs in your album that tells humanity the right thing to do, because that is the fastest frequency that we all music can actually hack in. And without our consciousness, we are programmed to act according to what we hear. So it's time for us to program our minds with good songs, positive songs, vibrational songs that tells us that doing wrong should no longer be harbored among humanity. Yeah, super deep stuff. So what do you think, like, tell us a bit more about some of these tunes that are coming out? Just, yeah, I think we can talk about this for a lot longer, which is super interesting. I'm just, yes, like, what kind of tunes are you coming out with soon? What's dropping soon that kind of like help the cause on changing the world? Okay, good. I have a couple of tracks on my first album there. They have a track called Jaja na de name. You know, I'm not a religious fanatic, but I must tell them a very realistic person when it comes to the idea of what is a creator. And I think God created us out of love. If you look at the beauty of the universe, you look at the splendor of the universe in a billion of universes across the galaxies, sorry, sorry, a billion of galaxies across the universe. I'm not talking about parallel universes right now. I'm concentrating on our own universe. And you look at the galaxy, the Milky Way, and you extrapolate towards where we have the solar system and observable nine planets. And you look at the third planet Earth was chosen specifically to harbor humanity. It wasn't just done for any reason, but for the fact that it has what it takes to harbor humanity. For those who have gone to outer space, the splendor, the beauty of looking down on Earth from space, from outer space, you could see how unique the planet Earth is. Whoever created Earth had the pleasure of everything that would exist on Earth. I call it, you know, um, it's actually, uh, I want to use the word used by Wes Penry. Earth is actually, um, it's a seed, a seed in ground. If at all we have strange entities out there within outer space, I want to believe we have the soul-like replica here on Earth. I don't strongly believe that aliens from either outer space or deeper inner space are soul carriers. But when you look at creatures on Earth, I mean, an animal will go out of his way to save another animal like itself from dying. You see a goldfish stranded on the water and can't find its way back to symmetry to swim. Another goldfish comes in and turns it back to its position and it saves it. You see a buffalo being attacked by a lion. You see a herd of buffaloes come in and fight against the lion to save the buffalo. And this goes on within the web of life, within diversity in species, and within species. It shows that there is a creator that has embedded love in everything here on Earth. So I would categorically say that no matter the level of extraterrestrial intelligence out there, it can't be compared to mankind. I think the reverse is the case. No matter how much technology comes from an extraterrestrial knowledge, I still believe humanity has a far super intelligence than they do. Why? Because we're soul carriers. There is something about us that differentiates us from entities that have no feelings. We have feelings. We know pain. I mean a little baby, when you take that baby from the mother, no matter how much he or she likes you, the moment you spend 30 minutes with that baby, he starts crying for the mother. No matter what you offer that baby, it no longer wants anything but his mother. This tells you that humanity carries a power of love. And so our creator has made it that love is the most powerful force. And with love, we can be able to eliminate, if at all, 90% of negativity across the universe. We are significant to world stability, galactic stability, and the stability of the universe. I still believe we've not come to the level of human knowledge, perfection, if we had. We'll be fighting and warding certain things that will be coming to this earth very soon. These are not entities we can be able to fight. We're going to need a higher level of consciousness. I'm seeing the visitation of entities to earth very soon. This is going to test humanity. This is going to break humanity. And this is where we need the people who have the consciousness that they are actually supposed to have the 12th strands of the DNA. These are people who will be resonating at the perfect frequency, coming from the primordial state of the universe, our Milky Way, raising our consciousness, telling us that we have the power to start defending the planet earth from negativity. We are few, but we keep getting more enlightened as the day firmly established. And I'm sure the consciousness will keep increasing. And the moment we know our responsibilities as artists, as musicians, our homing sounds in music should be able to fight and resist this negative, negative frequencies, trying to over-encompass the earth. It's time we become more conscious. We're too mundane. We're carried away by just physical things when we're far more
