“May D Is A Proper Warrior Boy” J Martins

In an exclusive interview with Emma Emerson of Golden Icons, J Martins shares his thoughts on several subjects including the Mo-Hits breakup, his long-time musical friends/partners “P-Square”, whom he calls family, and also touched base on several other artists including kids on the block, Davido, Wiz-Kid, and May-D.

As if he had taken a peep into the future and seen what’s to come, the singer’s choice of words as regards May D are just phenomenal in this interview as it was actually recorded before May D was dropped from Square Records label. Here’s what he’d to say of him:

…like May D, he’s been through this to that, you know…. He is a proper warrior boy, basically…. He’s been trying to do music, and there is nothing he hasn’t been through… He’s worked with this…. served this person… served that person.. but, then as God will always have it, he always bring across the kind of people you need.. Now it’s left for you to take advantage of that.. or not to even recognize the fact that this is why this people are here.”

In a general assessment of the three young musical stars who are making waves presently that is ‘Davido, Wiz-Kid, and May-D’, J Martins says: “ They’ve done well for themselves, and you also have to understand that those guys have paid their dues.. They didn’t just sprinkle; they’ve been in the music industry…….”

Speaking further, he says….. “But I see 3 of them as cool headed/great guys in the Nigerian music industry, and they are mostly welcomed, but again, I will also say.. time will tell too… because it’s one thing to have good hits the first time, and it’s another thing to keep having the hits after the years down the line”.

Due to the length of this exclusive interview, half will be released now and the second segment will be in first half on the morning of the Golden Icons Academy Awards (GIAMA) scheduled for October 20, 2012. Enjoy!
