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".
