Stating he's a rising star for Nigeria, Official Genius is a singer-songwriter with layers of credibility. In June 2020, he solidified his position as an Afrobeats star with his debut album, ‘Kamikaze’. The project has been an enormous success and is currently receiving airplay on many radio stations in Southern Nigeria.
Speaking about the release, GENIUS shares, “Slow Down talks about how a girl keeps finessing a guy who slides on her instagram Dm. However, he keeps doing all he can to win her over even though he knows she hard to get because she is richer than him.”
Adding to his thoughts on how the track was created, GENIUS adds, “I was listening to my friends who I met on an Instagram playlist he made instrumentals, just for the first 10 seconds I listened I was he captived by the supernatural vibe of the beat, freestyled to the instrumental and I fell in love with what I had, I contacted him and paid him for the beat and he sent me the stems of the instrumental, I recorded at home, I love storytelling in all of my songs there has to be a messaged, so I wrote the song after freestyling fixed an imaginary story on the beat when I finished recording I sent the stems and the files to STG for mixing and mastering he worked with top acts like Wizkid, Davido and even African giant burna boy.”
