Nigerian indigenous rapper, Sodiq Abubakar Yusuf, popularly known by his stage name ‘CDQ’, has named a-list artistes, Wizkid and Davido as kings of Nigerian music.
In an exclusive chat with journalists, CDQ spoke on why he hardly associates with just everybody in the music industry, naming Wizkid and Davido kings of the music industry.
“There has to be this chemistry, and what will generate that chemistry is the ‘dopeness’, few are the kind of artistes I’ve had to work with in Nigeria.
Like recently, I shot a video with Davido, I already have one with Wizkid, those are like the two main Lions we have in Nigeria.
I’ve one with Banky W also, which actually means he is a very skilled artiste in the RnB genre. For the Indomie rapper, he must see something very unique in a fellow artiste before deciding to collaborate on a song with him/her.
“Before I do anything with you I need to certify that you’re very good. When I listen to good music, irrespective of the kind of language you used to do it, music is a universal language, it doesn’t matter if it’s Igbo or Hausa, when I listen to the delivery, the kind of sound, I’ll know if it’s good music,” CDQ said.
