If you ever feel discouraged in your music journey I want you to know Sade went to a bunch of labels with the same version of Smooth Operator you hear today and she was told no by everyone. None of these idiots know what they are talkin about

Africa does not need intellectuals who simply translate Western thinking into African languages. We need scholars who begin with African experiences, challenge inherited assumptions, and produce ideas capable of changing the material conditions of our people.

I think one of the saddest things about modern childhood is the loss of cartoons as inheritance. I grew up watching Scooby-Doo reruns decades after it first aired. Kids today have more content than ever, but perhaps less shared cultural inheritance across generations.
‘Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!’ premiered 57 years ago today on CBS.

Hurts me to say this: Africa will not be saved by entrepreneurship. We cannot vibecode ourselves into the 4th industrial revolution. We still need to industrialize. To achieve this, we need stronger and better public institutions. We need extremely competent leaders at the helm.

People don’t respect creatives because like 75% of the work is sitting and thinking and it looks like we not doing shit but that time to sit and think is super critical.

One of the most overlooked forms of wealth is having complete ownership of your time. Waking up and knowing nothing about your day will be decided by someone else is priceless.

Men are so private online. A guy could be moving to another country or having his first child, and he’d still only post a random football score on his story.

you can have the sound and not have the team. you can have the team and not have the audience. you can have the audience and not have the timing. music business is a mystery, just do your best and pray you get it right.

The music industry will never tell you how it really works because your ignorance is their income. Stay educated
