“Don Jazzy is one of the smartest people in Nigerian music” – ID Cabasa

Renowned music producer ID Cabasa expresses his appreciation for Don Jazzy’s creative approach to the Nigerian music industry.

ID Cabasa praised Don Jazzy’s partnership with sketch creators as a wise decision in a recent interview.

He claimed that by participating in skits, Don Jazzy has won the respect and allegiance of content producers, who aggressively market his music.

ID Cabasa urged up-and-coming musicians to emulate him by working with content producers to expand their audience.

“What Don Jazzy did is connect with them (content creator) so that anytime he drops, all of them will post,” ID Cabasa said

ID Cabasa also cited Kizz Daniel as an example of an artist successfully building relationships with content creators.

He also emphasized the value of working with younger generations, citing their  creativity as a driving force behind his own collaborations.

“I work a lot with Gen Z because they are full of inspiration while people from my set have experience,” ID Cabada said.

Recall that, ID Cabasa openly discussed the ongoing dispute between up-and-coming musicians and industry titans.

His remarks follow a public spat between Burna Boy and Eedris Abdulkareem, which provoked a contentious discussion on social media.

ID Cabasa stressed the importance of mutual respect and understanding between up-and-coming musicians and seasoned performers in a recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast.

ID Cabasa asserts that while veterans should conduct themselves with honour, younger artists have an obligation to pay tribute to the industry pioneers.

He also underlined the need to honour the original gangsters and the need for veterans to encourage upcoming musicians rather than be unduly judgmental.

“The new guys need to respect the OGs. The OGs need to be more honourable. You are not competing against these guys. If you see yourself as a competition to these guys, what you’ve done is that you’ve mortgaged your honour.”
