Speaking on his East Side plan Skales says:
“I have decided to spread my brand strategically to East Africa because
of the love and attention I get from my fans from East Africa. They
have made my songs massive in the region,” adding, “Music is also a
universal language and the East African sound and culture continues to
inspire my music in a lot of ways.”
AGOLO and BOOTY LANGUAGE are off Skales sophomore
album ‘The Never Say Never Guy” and have dominated music airplay across
Africa since the album dropped earlier on this year. Skales who
tags his album as a masterpiece says, “I believe that East African
sounds influenced a huge percentage of my album. This is part of the
reason why I am setting aside time to venture into East Africa.”
The
Chopstix produced AGOLO is a certified afro pop hit with a perfect
blend of Yoruba traditional sounds. The single has already sparked
traditional dance steps among fans, just like in the video showcasing
the streets of Ojota in Lagos, directed by Lucas Reid. In BOOTY LANGUAGESkales delivers smooth rap bars in a steady flow while appreciating the voluptuous curves of the African woman. Skales described the video boasting an urban setting with colorful graffiti displayed in the background director by Teekay as one of his favorites in recent times - asserting its creativity as incredibly commendable.
