However, he explained that he had to take his time to work on the songs so that they could meet the high expectations of his fans. Amin, one of the cuts he released a few days ago, was produced by Legendury Beats, which produced Ara by Brymo, Emi Ni Baller (Chidinma), Azonto (WizKid), Koma Roll (Tillaman), Baddest Boy (EME All Stars) and Catching Cold (Tunde Ednut).
