The former whose career has been a product of talent, grace, and commitment, hails from Ojuelegba, Surulere, in Lagos where it all started. Today, the Ojuelegba boy has grown into an iconic figure that is hoisting the African banner at the very center of global music. The cover art of the mixtape draws inspiration from Wizkid‘s background where we often find the Yellow buses, the mainland area of Lagos.
And the latter, Davido, who has known wealth from birth grew up in an environment of luxury and comfort. The Lekki-Ikoyi bridge in the cover art is used to depict the Island area of Lagos, which perfectly expresses David’s narrative. Since the Island area is usually seen as the upscale part of Lagos occupied by the movers & shakers of the society.
