The forthcoming album of ‘Gongo Aso’ crooner, 9ice, would be named after award-winning music producer, ID Cabasa.
9ice told Punch in a chat recently that he was taking this step to appreciate the impact the beat maker has made in his life and music career.
He also disclosed that proceeds made from the sale of the album would be given to ID Cabasa, who he has always described as a brother.
ID Cabasa produced the songs that brought 9ice to fame and established him as an A-list artiste in Nigeria, though he later left him to float his own Alapomeji Records.
“I am currently working on an album that would come out in October and I would title it ‘ID Cabasa’. I am dedicating the album to ID Cabasa and all the remuneration and profits from the album would go to him. All the money I make from the album would go to Cabasa because of all the work he has done for me from the time of ‘Gongo Aso.’
“When I was nobody, he was there for me; there is a difference between someone believing in you and someone encouraging you.
“ID Cabasa believed in me and encouraged me through his platform. Cabasa is going to produce some of the tracks on the album and he welcomed the development,” the singer said.
