Nigerian musician Oxlade says the decision to give his created song, ‘Non-living Thing’, to rapper Sarkodie is one of the best moves he has ever made in his music career.
Speaking to Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, the singer narrated that he gave the song to Sarkodie because the rapper had also given a song in the past.
“I was the one who told him that I had a song for him. It was supposed to be on my project. It’s a record I created and I said that this song is meant for Sark. I knew in my heart that the song was meant to be for him. I sang it for him after we did ‘Overdose’.
"He came to Lagos to do promo and I played it for him and he was like, 'yeah let’s do this.' After we shot the video the song became one of the biggest songs. I feel like that is one of the best moves I've ever made,” he said on Hitz FM.
Oxlade also noted that for him to feature on a song, he has to connect both with the music and the artiste as well.
He referred to the kind of relationship he recently built with musician Darkovibes.
According to him, they both have a very good relationship which goes beyond just music.
“Me and Darkovibes now go beyond music. After the music, the human comes in.”
He also added that he does not focus on money when doing features. However, he admitted that sometimes it is just right that he survives on his full-time job, which is doing music.
“I don’t do features for money. I feel like the quality of the music and the person surpass any networth. But the game is the game and Daddy and Mommy gotta eat.”
Non-Living Thing is a song that features on Sarkodie’s No Pressure album. The video has raked in over a million views on YouTube since its release in 2021, and over six million streams on Spotify.
