Speaking about the inspiration for ‘Paradise’ AKA shared; “Paradise is a song that I wrote after having a fight with my girlfriend on valentine’s day, the fight is the genesis of where the track came from. It’s about pressing the reset button with your partner when you argue, just saying you’ve held me down, let’s wipe the slate clean and make things right.”
This week Super Mega switched things up with yet another avatar change on all his social media platforms, closely followed by the Megacy. The striking bright red avatar kept anticipation high with the streets questioning a possible surprise drop.
Speaking about how the collaboration came about AKA Said; “Firstly Musa and I are in the same management company. I love him as a performer, artist, producer and songwriter. Naturally I wanted a record with him. Something that sounds exotic for the continent and Europe. I was put on to Gyakie by some A&R, I listened to her stuff and asked if they make it happen? she jumped on the record.”
The rapper officially ended the suspense about the possible drop by unveiling a video that mimics a google search with the text “When does AKA’s Paradise drop?” in the search bar that revealed the release date for paradise.
The single comes after the success of Lemons (Lemonade). Speaking On his music roll-out ahead of the album AKA shared; “There is no plan about the time to drop the records in terms of one after the other. I just feel like ‘Paradise’ is good for the game because we are putting Hip hop love songs into the game. There just aren’t enough Hip-Hop love songs right now. The aim was to put in some positive energy in all of the hard hip-hop elements, I wanted to do something from the heart.”
The single premiered on Apple Music’s, The Dotty show hosted by English rapper, DJ, radio and television personality Ashley Charles aka Dotty.
