Before I start this interview I want to say a big thank you to the Grand Papa of Hip life Reggie Rockstone, the man has really put food on the table for most of us today, 4RINA said before us as we diged into his new artistic career.
“4RINA ON THE MOVE LETS GO… AND RUFF – SMOOTH, WE THEY COME MARSH UP, EVERY BODY SAY EIII, YOU KNOW HOW I DO MY THING, IS AKAN AND 4RINA, WE THEY MARSH UP THINGS… THEY CALL ME ‘IGWE’ GIRLS THEY CALL ME ‘IGWE’ BECAUSE I TOO FINE OOOH!”
That is the wicked introduction to the IGWE song by 4RINA, in high spirit 4RINA was of full of smiles as we caught up with him at Solid Multimedia, where he was finalizing his IGWE video.
As we always do, we try to find out what he is up to with the new single ‘IGWE’
‘Basically is about my new single am promoting titled ‘IGWE’ but I am still working on my full album, the song is already out, the video is what we are here to finalize on and as you can see its ready for consumption so music lovers in the country should get ready for the new king of Hip Life, 4RINA answered our question.
The room was full of happiness as we asked, ‘who is 4RINA’?
4RINA… hmm! I will say, I used to be an underground artiste but am no more since my new single is out and the video will be rolling soon, hence am not an underground artiste. I am known in real life as Kingley Kwesi, a graduate of IPS and I am the new king on the block, as the song says.
So 4RINA, tell us, what is your strong hold as an artiste and the kind of genre you do?
4RINA ANSWERED, My strong hold is my lyrical prowess and swag on and off the stage (any at all), my kind of genre is Music, I am very versatile, any good punch lines with a melodies beat that will get the ladies entertained will do but for the sake of the industry, I will say I do Hip Life.
The dream of every Artiste is to be on all big platforms in and outside the country, has 4RINA stood on any plat form yet or any upcoming ones?
‘Management from the initial stages decided, not to allow me stand on any plat form, that makes my show list a bit hiding but I will be performing at the old school reunion, night of the stars, all from Joyfm 99.7, and I also have a show this year inside Nigeria.
For my already performed shows, I was on the Oman Fm 3rd Anniversary bash stage, I have also being on TV Africa’s sound splash and Jokers night club, he stressed on.
We have seen many artistes come and go with just one hit, how many hit songs do you have and which of the songs to you love so far?
All the songs are hit songs, none of the songs so far will not be a hit, trust me. I love all the songs but my favorite is the ‘BELEWO’, currently I have five songs, B Bright (Can you feel it) and Ephram Musiq worked as beat producers.
There are some featuring already and some of it yet to be done, for instance, there is a song with Sarkodie which will be out very soon, but now I have worked with Ruff N Smooth, Annette and Balo flash from Nigeria, 4RINA explained.
Behind every successful artiste there is management, 4RINA, which management is behind you?
I have Empire Entertainment as my managers and Yes You Can Records as my record label. Let me say that, Yes You can records saw me when I was looking for a record label ten years ago, took me to empire entertainment, we played the song, they loved it and both parties agreed to push the dream of 4RINA, he lamented.
In the industry many of the artistes hardly write their songs did you write all the songs you have recorded so far or someone helped you out?
Wow… (4RINA SAID) funny enough I wrote all the songs myself during odd times in my house, some at the bath house and kitchen. I remember with ‘IGWE’ I was playing with it like this, “THE LADIES THEY FEEL, JUST LIKE RASTA MAN LIKE WEE, EII! WHEN THEY SEE ME PAN THE CLUB; THEY SHOUT MY NAME SAY, IGWE, IGWE OOOH! SEE! THEM SAY THEY THEM CHECK ME, WHEN I STEP INTO THE CLUB THEY RASH ME, IN THEIR DREAMS THEY SEE ME, ONE, TWO, TURN AND LADIES ARE AROUND ME”
I write my song based on how I want people to see, love and understand me through my music, he pin pointed.
We asked 4RINA his dream for the industry and where he was to be in the next 5 years and he had this to say;
‘My future is bright in the industry, I want to be the next house hold name in the industry and in the next five years I want to be on the Grammy’s stage performing and receiving some Grammy’s’, he smiled with a lot of hopes.
The songs will get you dancing your sorrows away, laugh to a better life and jam in the club to relax, I am grateful to my management, record label and You(fans). I also thank all Dj’s who are jamming the songs, like recently I won the song of the week on YFM107.9 on drive of your life, this tells me that the album will receive massive acceptance when released and I am humbled, 4RINA’s final words.
4RINA is the ladies entertainer and the boy’s admirer; the ladies can now relax as he has come to distressed them with great music and lyrics. Have a feel of his new video on youtube, face book page- 4RINA, and twitter – 4RINA MUSIC.
