Meet Double-F the King

My brother, Hify, and I grew up freestyling and rapping together, drumming on any surface that sounds good. We both had dreams to make music professionally since childhood. I was about 11, and he was about 9 when we started. While he focused on music production and used our mom's slow Samsung laptop to learn how to make beats in secondary school, I focused more on polishing my songwriting, rap, and singing skills. - Double-F the King

Eventually, I got to record my first EP just after university, while my brother was in another state, Lagos. He was working as a producer in a studio, and it looked like our music dreams were finally coming to reality. Unfortunately, three days before recording, I lost my voice while recording a video for an Instagram music contest because I strained my voice while recording over and over again to get it just right. Yes, I am a bit of a perfectionist. I admit. I panicked, wondering how I was going to record the EP I imagined would shoot me to stardom (something I cared for at that moment).

I formulated a strategy to talk as little as possible while keeping my fingers crossed that it would heal before then. Fortunately, it did. I recorded the five songs in my first EP King, within three days, and it was an exciting experience during that period. Coming from a more calm part of Nigeria, Ibadan, experiencing Lagos' busy streets for the first time was quite an experience. - Double-F the King

It feels good to be finally living the dream of making music that people around the world love—something we looked forward to while consuming several Western songs and miming their words as children. Although I have a different, more conservative motivation behind my music now and enjoy the comfort of recording in my bedroom, I feel energized and excited when I remember my very first EP, which was in collaboration with my brother, Hify, the producer.
