The Kutonga Kwaro hitmaker told NewsDay Life & Style that it was a great experience working with Jah Cure for about two months to complete the project.
“He (Jah Cure) is a very easy person to work with. Most of the times, artistes in this music industry have a tendency of this ego, but with Jah Cure, he is a different person. We have worked together very well,” he said.
Jah Prayzah said the idea of setting of the video shoot was steered by Jah Cure, who is a big fan of Spanish football giants Barcelona FC. “When we were discussing where to do our song and shoot the video, we agreed that we would do it in Spain, as Jah Cure also wanted to watch some games, which also gave me the opportunity to be in Spain for the first time,” he said.
He said he was happy with what he had managed to achieve as it is something way beyond his expectations when he ventured into showbiz, adding that he wanted to put the country on the global map through music.
Jah Prayzah now boasts of a chain of international collaborations with top African artistes among them Diamond Platnumz, Mafikizolo, Yemi Alade and Davido.
