Rapper and music executive Olamide Gbenga Adedeji a.k.a as Olamide, has paid glowing accolades to his former label signee Asake.
Olamide who was speaking in a recent interview said Asake’s raise to stardom, was not surprising to him because the “Lonely at The Top” crooner is someone who had the gift of pushing him and he is also a talented musician.
“I did not know he was going to go that wild, but I knew Asake was one of one. From the sound and everything. I have never heard anything close to that before. His authenticity and his craftsmanship.
Asake is not the dude you try and convince to put in effort because he is already putting effort. That is why I respect him so much. And I thought it would be a nice thing for us to partner,” he said,
Olamide also noted that he does not like to pressure artists signed to his label to make music. He revealed that he gives them the liberty to just create what come to them and that allows them to be original and unique.
“Honestly, I do not put such pressure on my guys. I try as much as possible not to put pressure on them. I just tell them to make beautiful music. If it is awesome, it is going to fly. It might not fly. It might fly in 10 years, 20 years. And we are still seeing that in real life now,” he added.
