Nigerian singer cum rapper, Panshak Zamani better known as Ice Prince says music is the only thing he could do after dropping out of university at an early stage.
The rapper spoke about his family, school and music career among others when he featured on Joey Akan’s Afrobeats Intelligence
In the interview, Ice Prince revealed that he was not opportune to study anything or pursue a professional career in other fields.
He also added that he would fail if he is asked to work in an office setting.
âMan, it feels very great. It feels very awesome. âCause if you know me very well, youâd know that music is the only thing that Ice knows how to do. I donât know how to do anything else, you know. I dropped out of the university at a very early stage, so I didnât get any chance to study anything,â he said.
âIf they put me in any office now, my nigga, Iâd flop. But music is the only thing I know how to do. So, the opportunity to be able to put out music and even have people listening to me after how long Iâve been in the game, itâs awesome. Itâs a blessing. More than a blessing.â
The âAbokiâ singer also explained how he has learned to accept whatever happens to him since he lost his parents.
âWhatever comes. I lost my dad, God kept me here. I lost my mum, God kept me here so I just feel like Itâs all Godâs plan my brother. As e be, e be,â he added in a mixture of English and Pidgin.
The music star also explained how he locked himself up for three months alongside M.I and Jesse Jagz for the production of âEverybody Loves Ice Princeâ, his debut album, in 2011.
âLiterally, me and Jesse Jagz booked ourselves into an apartment that year and stayed in that apartment for about three months. And we locked ourselves in there. Day in, day out and we made that album. We were locked in there for three months, and me and Jesse literally just vibed and made that album. Hearing it as a classic, I just give God all the glory,â he said.
âAnd I give all the love to everybody that worked on that album with me. From all the engineers to everybody. But Iâd definitely use Jesse Jagz as a point of contact because he literally created the whole foundation to the album. I just wrote lyrics. And M.I as well who oversaw the whole project. I mean, the Grip Boiz were with me almost every day throughout those sessions. Everyone that worked on that album with me did well.â
ââŠand this year, funny enough is 10 years of âEverybody Loves Ice Prince.â The album is going to be 10 years this year, and Iâm hoping that my next album comes out around the same time that weâre celebrating that,â he added.
